So how often should you clean your hairbrush? Well, experts recommend cleaning it about once a week if you use it every day and regularly use hair products. If you use your brush less often, cleaning it every two to three weeks may be enough.
“Anytime you see any buildup, it’s time to address it and give it a cleaning,” Chacon told Reader’s Digest.
If you can already see grey fuzz between the bristles, that’s a good sign it’s time to give your brush a proper clean.
To clean it, start by removing all the loose hair. Then soak the brush in warm water with a little shampoo and baking powder for around 10 minutes.
Give it a good scrub with your fingers or an old toothbrush, rinse it well and leave it bristle-side down to air dry.
