Afterward, remove the shampoo or soap and water mixture and rinse it under clean running water. Allow the brush to dry completely before using it again. This method is best used when cleaning a smooth metal or plastic brush.<\/p>\n

To keep your hairbrush from getting gunky in the first place, try to wash it every other month or so (or more often if you use your comb or brush after applying styling products that can rust your tools). For small brushes, just shampooing is fine; for larger ones, mix some shampoo with water and pour it into the palm of your hand before scrubbing.

We’ve all been there trying to clean out our hairbrushes at some point or another. You know it’s important, but, well, you just can’t be bothered. There are two ways to go about this: tedious and quick. The first thing you’re going to want to try is taking it outside or into the shower with you while your hair is still damp (don’t bother washing your hair<\/a> first). Now that your hair is worked up in a tangled mass on top of your head, take the bristles of the brush between your thumb and index finger and start brushing forward from the base of the handle toward the tip until everything comes loose\u2014you may have to work back through more than once to get out all the gunk. To go about it quickly, find a tabletop with a flat edge and brush all the hair off in one quick swipe.<\/p>\n
