How to clean your hair brushes

Hairbrushes and combs have leftover entangled hair, and product buildup too. If there are too many entangled hair strands on your brush, you can first cut them off with scissors. “Take a big dish of water and add a few drops of disinfecting hand wash and soak the brushes for some time. Take a toothbrush and deep clean the bristles to remove extra hairspray, conditioners and dirt,” says celebrity hair and makeup artist Arti Nayar. If you use a tool to brush through oily strands or a thick serum, a shampoo's surfactants could really break it all down and allow you to rinse all the gunk off. 

How to clean your makeup brushes and blenders

Pros say that it is best to skip creamy soaps, harsh chemicals or hot water to cleanse the brushes, because they won't help with product buildup, and will only affect the quality of the bristles. “Do not blow-dry them, as the heat can cause the bristles to shed faster,” says celebrity makeup artist Adrian Jacobs. For regular instant cleaning for his brushes, Jacobs uses brush cleansing sprays on the brush itself. He suggests gently moistening the bristles while holding them upside down. "Soak and swirl your brushes in a mix of water and baby shampoo. Gently massage the bristles in the water to remove pigments and product. You can use a brush cleaning mat or glove which has different textures to gently rub and clean the brushes. You can also just lightly swirl your brushes on your palm with this solution and rinse it till the water runs clear, gently squeeze the water out and leave it to dry flat on a towel for an hour,” says Jacobs.
