Struggling with a greasy, hair-clogged hairbrush? Regular cleaning removes oils, loose hairs, and dandruff buildup for healthier hair. Skip store-bought cleaners—this expert-approved white vinegar method disinfects effectively and restores bristles.
1. Fill a bowl large enough to submerge the hairbrush.
2. Mix equal parts water and white vinegar (2 volumes each). Heat in the microwave until very hot.
3. Soak the brush for about 1 hour, until the mixture cools.
4. Scrub off hair and debris using an old toothbrush, your fingers, or a comb.
5. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to eliminate the vinegar scent.
6. Blot dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
7. Air dry overnight.
Your hairbrush is now spotless! This technique revives bristle flexibility and eliminates residue. Bonus: Clean combs, nail brushes, makeup brushes, and barrettes the same way—perfect for tackling white buildup on combs.
