The cleaning procedure should begin with the removal of jammed hair. For some types of brushes, for example, from Anna Sui, this is easy to do. It is enough to pull the fingers of the hair curled over the teeth, and everything will be all right. If you for some time neglected cleaning, hair will accumulate a lot, you can use a toothpick, the process will go faster. This method is very convenient for combs, but almost unsuitable for brushes. Particularly simple, just use an ordinary plastic wide comb with sparse teeth, then you can remove the hair from the brush without any problems. Only it is necessary to do it by sharp tearing movements. It will not be worse if a few times lightly hit the teeth on a hard surface or shake so that the sticky mote and scales of dandruff are behind. After removing the hair, the brush should be washed.
Most brushes with brushes made of Philip Kingsley bristles can be washed with warm water and soap without any problems. But you should be careful when washing, for example, brushes, in which the pads are filled with air. Water will fall inside the air-vent holes and destroy the brushes. Therefore, depending on the type of brush, you can either immerse the brush in warm soapy water and carefully "rip off" it, or rinse only the ends of the bristles. Nylon bristles are not afraid of water and soap, but the pig from the wild boar is very unstable to excess moisture and can get damaged .
For a more rational washing, use baking soda. The recipe is simple: pour water into the pot, add a spoonful of soda, dip the brush for a few minutes into the resulting solution. After removal, the dirt will be removed easily.
It should be borne in mind that when combing wet hair brushes are in contact with moisture, and this is not always desirable for some of their elements. From humidification, the handles of fashionable MarliesMoller brushes made from natural wood, as well as decorative handles made of metal or plastic from other non-wearing brushes can be damaged. To preserve the quality of their surface, you can wrap them with paper towels.
Some manufacturers of accessories for the hair supply their brushes, complete with their own brushes for cleaning, which makes it much easier to care for them. If you are a happy owner of the Mason Pearson products, where a combination of nylon bristles and natural bristles (a boar or, as beautifully indicated in the care instructions, a boar) is used, there is a nylon brush to preserve the purity of the uvass beams. Ultimately, the effects of water and soap, so undesirable for these elite "toys", will be reduced to a minimum.
To paraphrase the quote that the theater begins with a hanger, we can safely say that the hairstyle of a woman (and of a man) begins with her comb or a hair brush. And it does not matter, this is a simple plastic comb or "fancy" brush with gold embossing on the handle, they equally require daily care.
