1) teasing brush for hair removal. also, take 10 seconds to remove hair whenever you brush your hair.
2) soak in hot water with some cleanser (shampoo/cleansing shampoo/dish soap) then stir. brushes face down. you can add in clips, combs, etc.
3) if you use mason pearson, gfy
4) after a few minutes of soaking, dump the water out. rinse brushes with hot water
5) scrubba time. toothbrush is okay but not great. denture brush to remove gunk. (for wooden brushes. warm up your shoulder, and toss it in the trash.)
7) rat tail comb or something sharp to take clumps out.
8) ideally clean every two weeks. once a month at least. soak, forget about it, come back and scrub.
I use shampoo and just let it soak with no bowl and let it get all over the brush then rinse it
Oh come on Be fair on #3. I’ve got thin hair and I’m trying to save it so I forked over the cash for a good brush. And I want it to be clean too. Wasn’t trying to make a social superior story here🙁
I used dish soap, because I have a bar shampoo that has oils, maybe that would not be good? And I used an unused nailbrush, it's a bit too soft but seems to have worked okay.
@janetcarbone4213 just joking Janet. In the video he does say that anyone with a Pearson should have their butler clean it. I know how tough hair can be. If it works for you, I’m happy.
Me who has a Mason Pearson brush: 👀
I have a 'clean brush' and a 'dirty brush' for this reason. I use the dirty brush for making sure my hair is free of tangles before I get in the shower to wash my hair. My wet brush is for use on my clean, damp hair and occasional detangling once styled. I noticed it helps to keep my hair from getting too oily between washes.
I wasn’t aware that i do the same as you. My dirty brush is a tangle teaser. Occasionally I take it with me to the shower and clean it with the shampoo on my head.
I do the same. Wet brush as my clean one and a tangle teezer as my dirty hair one 😊
I do this but with my shower cap. A shower cap for when my hair is getting dirty and one for when my hair is clean. I only have one brush but i wash it when I wash my hair.
Haha I do that too!
@@lc86_65same.
Q: But most brushes have that little bead of plastic on the tip of the bristle ( to protect the bristle from tearing the hair or scratching your scalp and in some cases to even massage the scalp) That bead prevents you from sliding or lifting off those little ringlets of lint that gets wrapped around the bristles!! The lint will slide up the bristle shaft and get stuck at the bead which is fatter than the twist of lint , UGH! I have to painstakingly pick that bit of lint off every single bristle one at a time every time I clean my brush. Everyone has it. You showed it on the close up of your black oval brush. Is there any way to clean the lint off faster? The more aggressive I get the more likely I can break that bead off ruining the whole reason for having the beads in the first place or sometimes in breaking off that bead it leaves behind a sharp ragged piece of the bead plastic on the bristle and I have to pick that off carefully so I don't get scratched when using it.
Same question. Bought a really bad wet brush like a year ago. I've had to cut off all of those beadless bristles because they scratch my scalp so bad. At this point, most of the bristles are gone.
Tweezers. I know it's tedious but it's what I use to pull those bits off.
I use the loop end of a Bobby pin to get the gunk off each bead.
This might sound wrong but i let my brush soak in simple bathroom cleaning spray and after a few hours i wash it off and it simply dissolves
I just put my brush under hot water for a minute and run my fingers along the length of the brush every time after brushing my hair. It takes care of the most of those lint rings around the bristles. And then I wash the brush more thoroughly like he does in the video when I wash my hair. They get stuck when they allow to build up but they disolve easily when you don’t let the dirt stack.
Source: my hair is butt length, oily, wavy and thick, just one brushing forms lint around every single brisle because there is so much hair area it collects it from.
Dude... this is a life saver! I've had that white, lint-looking buildup in my brushes all along and did not know what to do. I got one of those "easy to clean" brushes that pull the back out so you could take the hair off, thinking that would work if I did it every time. When the buildup came back, I would just try to pick it off, but it would just take so long and it was difficult. Thanks so much! I had NO idea you had to clean your brushes this thoroughly!
My mother never taught me this and when I told her growing up that I thought brushing my hair made it more greasy I was told I was crazy… anyway I’m going to tell her this… we own like 8 hairbrushes but I don’t think we’ve ever cleaned them with shampoo+hot water-or At least I’ve never seen her do it either. Great to know! Thank you!
Wow, I very much hope that you use different brushes. Every hair and scalp have got their own microflora. Only by washing your brushes and combs every time you'd be able to use them commnaly without harming it.
In former times people brushed their hair for making it shiny and greasy.
I clean my hairbrush with shampoo and water maybe about once a week
That's cos it might ruin your brush soaking bad advice cos of the glue holding the brush together, cheap brushes especially won't survive being soaked, i tried it and noop... had to throw it in the bin cos the glue in the cushion dissolved, ney to soaking.
My mom also never taught me this either. I remember using this brush for years and never cleaned it. It was dirty and I wanted a new one when I noticed but mom would say I don’t need another one.
I just use a clarifying shampoo and a tease brush to scrub them in the shower, it takes like 5 mins and you don’t have to worry about the splatters 🙂
Now THAT is a game changer! So much easier! Great tip!
yess this! I wash mine every 3 days on the shower, whenever I wash my hair, its working wonderfully!
Same. Every time I wash my hair I wash my brushes. First I fill the sink and leave them for a while and then scrub them when I shower.
@@klaudiawos94 I don’t soak them, I just use a really cheap clarifying shampoo and scrub them for a couple of mins. It’s very easy and cleans all of the oily stuff off very easy.
Same, I do mine while I let my conditioner sit
TWO SHOWERS into following the Trinity Routine, and my hair is UNRECOGNIZABLE - in a good way! It'll take a long time to really work out the damage, but the difference I saw IMMEDIATELY is mind-blowing. I can't believe I went my entire life not knowing basic facts about how to treat my hair properly, and one or two videos from you completely changed my hair journey. Thank you for sharing your expertise and cutting through the bullshit we hear from influencers and hair product companies!
What is the Trinity Routine?
It grosses me out that people don't clean their brushes. I just take mine into the shower and give it a scrub with a washcloth and soap while I'm showering. Takes 3 seconds. No excuse for a filthy greasy brush.
Wonderful! I have only one (important!) thing to add: ALWAYS dry brushes with bristles pointing down. Or water will tend get stuck inside them for too long, and then you get nasty bacteria growth ...
YES! Soak and dry with bristles pointed down to help prevent mold/bacteria growth in the gaps between the bristles and the body of the brush.
I'd mention that bristles down only drains the water; after about half a day you need to turn you brush right side up so it can actually air-dry fully. Trust me, I do this every time I wash my hair, having a wet brush is the biggest peeve, there's no way to dry it faster, you just have to drain it well (*hours*) then turn it to dry.
Stupid tiny hole in a massive cushion. The design of those is so fucking stupid. I like the ones that are just one solid plastic piece, avoid that problem
My grandma has the nastiest most hair filled hairbrush I’ve ever seen, to the point that she had trouble getting traction with the bristles because of the amount of hair in it. We finally got her to replace it and she complained about how she has to ‘break it in’ lmao
Oh no, you can't change them though.
that sounds exactly like how my grandma was XD cherish her while you can!
My grandma actually wanted me to get her a new brush for that reason - too much hair in it.
I cleaned it instead. 😂
LOL
Why are old people like this? x"D
He’s not just a Hair coach guys he’s a life coach
A couple of months ago I just googled “how to clean a hairbrush”. It gave very helpful steps and I’ve been following it ever since. First I take out all the hair from my brush/comb with my fingers. My brush has spaced out bristles and I don’t shed a lot so it’s easy. Next I pour some shampoo into a container and mix with warm water and swirl my brush/comb in the soapy water. After that it usually looks “clean” but to be sure I dab a (separate) toothbrush in some baking soda and scrub in between all the bristles. Lastly I rinse and dip the brush/comb into a solution of water and rubbing alcohol (I only do this step once a month). Then I lay it out to dry in my window sill under a small towel. For some reason my hair collects a lot of lint so I recently added lint cleaning to that list too. It’s very tedious to pick it all out but worth it to have a fresh and clean brush. I also wash my hair elastics (without the alcohol) and my large scrunchi’s I just throw in the washing machine with my clothes. Before this revelation I’m ashamed to admit I only cleaned the hair out my brush and that was it. Now I try to wash my hair tools and accessories at least once a week when I do my hair or until my next wash day (every two weeks). Our hair gets very dirty from a variety of factors so it makes sense to clean our hair tools like we clean anything else that we use constantly that gets dirty.
My mother told me to clean all my brush and combs, clips, etc. Everytime you wash your hair. I have been doing this exact same thing, using a toothbrush, since I started living alone (she used to do it for me before). I have healthy hair all bc of my mom, and as does she. She also taught me how to properly detangle and comb. Thank you mumma.
Simple trick for not getting water sprayed in your face when cleaning with a toothbrush or denture cleaner: just face the brush away from you (and into the bowl/sink). Turn it back over for spot cleaning and checking, but facing the brush down keeps the spray going down too.
Came here to say exactly this! As well as for drying....putting them upside down let's the water run out instead of sitting in the brush 'drying' right side up....
The Mason Pearson is the best brush I've ever used. My husband bought me the Extra Large boar bristle over 20 years ago, and it's still going strong. It's completely possible to clean it. It just takes more effort than cheap plastic tools require. The difference is that it's handmade with natural biodegradable materials, unlike the pieces you've shown here. Nothing wrong with what you've shown or the tools you're using, but it's worth considering that all tools eventually reach an end of life. There is a reason I've never had to purchase another brush - with continued care, I may never have to. Regarding how to clean the Mason Pearson, which is celluloid acetate (biodegradable, technically cotton or tree pulp based), they come with their own cleaning brush to remove hair and debris. You can wet clean it, but you shouldn't submerge it because of the natural rubber pad. You can also purchase their hairbrush cleaner that has been developed to clean all bacteria on the brush and the pad, if you prefer, but it's not necessary. I dry and wet clean mine regularly.
how do you clean it?
I second the question. How do you clean boars hair brushes and men's hair brushes
czcams.com/video/2bcJxmz_nLM/video.htmlsi=014PfWqkHxYNqKUk for Mason Pearson cleaning instructions. It takes more effort but it works. Simple dishwashing liquid and warm water with the square nylon cleaning brush that comes with their boar brushes. They also have a new spray, but it's just a faster way to do it. Ultimately it's a decision about time management. My brush is still going strong, it's clean, and there's been no decay to the orange rubber pad.
But... how do we clean the cleaning brushes? 😢
I was literally looking for instructions on how to best clean my brushes today and you posted this yesterday, that's some amazing timing 😄 I struggle with oily hair and have neglected cleaning my brushes for too long. I'll do it this weekend and will try to keep a regular schedule for it. THANK YOU!
LITERALLY! I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT 2 DAYS AGO AND THIS POPS UP ON MY YT PAGE AND I'M LIKE - IT'S A SIGN!!!!
This morning I literally noticed the little balls of gunk at the base of the bristles on my "other brush" (the one I hardly ever use and hardly ever clean) and I tried to clean it.... The Eye of Google is at it again.
I was too LMAO how is it that we were all trying to clean our brushes this week
Ye I'm here looking for wooden brush care. Had to watch 10 mins of this for him to toss my brushes, great tips, rly
literally same. I was like, did the yt algorithm just read my mind??
thank you for the permission to get rid of my wooden brush, I can finally let go now
Lol same! Now to just unsubscribe from the channels that recommended them 😅
@@emiliepryor51 why what's wrong with wooden brushes? I was gonna buy one
@@bouchra8767 they're good (but probably not as good as boar bristle) brushes for adding oil to dry hair, IIRC. Though boar bristle brushes are also good for redistributing oil from your scalp to your ends. You still have to clean the wooden ones, 100% isopropyl alcohol is a good degreaser.
@@bouchra8767It's probably nothing wrong with them, it's more that they're aren't that much better than plastic brushes, so there's no point in buying one bc you think it will be better for your hair. But if you want it bc you think plastic is bad or if you think it looks nice then you can always get one. But I think wooden brushes can be harder to clean, the wood will absorb moisture and oil which you can't really get rid of maybe.
Haha. Yes! I threw mine out a couple weeks ago.
I am 51 year old and always cleaned the hair out of my brushes but nobody told me to wash them. My brushes would get so gross even after hair removed. I asked my hair dresser why my brush looked so gross recently. She told me I need to wash my brush that it was dead skin in it. I am so grossed out why was I not told/taught to do this. Its a game changer. thank you for all your videos I have learned so many new (to me) ways of taking care of my hair. I am so into it now I am starting to have hair dreams lol. Probable need to take a break from watch the videos but thanks again. Your awesome.
I never thought a video about how to clean brushes could be so nice and entertaining! Thanks for it, your attitude towards your job makes my day!
All this time I've been concerned about the weird gunk that stays on my brush after getting hair off it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge about how to get it off and have a clean brush! Now the only thing stopping me from having a clean brush is the fact that I need to get myself one of those awesome toothbrushes. 😂
I've been wondering what all that stuff is?! Dust? Product? 😅 not sure I wanna know lol
@naughtep97 combination of both I think! 😅
@@naughtep97 I find that the weird gunk changes colours to match whatever brightly coloured towel I use to dry my hair. So I guess it's a mixture of oil, scalp flakes, dust, product and towel fibres.
An old regular toothbrush works fine. Also whatever you use to get hair off the brush (this mainly depends from brush to brush, not toll to tool) is fine as well. I wash my hairbrush every time I wash my hair, while I am waiting for the hair conditioner (or mask) to work; it's in the tub getting wet and shampoo-y while I wash my hair, then I go in with an old toothbrush with hand soap (because it's hard to get a small amount of shampoo on a toothbrush, lets be honest here), scrub it thoroughly, then rince very well. The biggest issue isn't the cleaning, it's the drying. Face down half a day so that excess water can drain, then at least overnight to dry turned right side up. I dunno what brushes this dude has that actually drain right side up, mine never do. I can literally slush water around if I leave them right side up right away even 24h later.
@@gravyz2cute4u Eww! But that makes sense.
Anyone else hear “warsh” 😂 Love this channel! Following Chris’ advice & trinity routine has changed my hair drastically in 9 months. And if you’ve ever doubted his shampoo videos, DO IT!! I have very thick waist length hair and I purchased the Moroccanoil shampoo January 14th and I still have 2-4 washes left! $26 dollars seems like a lot, but not if you don’t buy shampoo again for 10 months ❤❤❤
I heard it and immediately thought, "Chris, your midwest is showing" 🤣🤣
I did! I was looking for the 'R'! Maybe Chris is a pirate? LOL
Yup! Eastern Kentucky gal here and immediately noticed and grinned!
Yup, kinda drives me crazy.
I dont hear warsh, but I do hear he sort of stops like a full stop after each word. His sentences are not fluid, and dont flow into each other. But I still like this channel.
Best routine I've found yet. Got my brushes spotlessly clean in less than 20 minutes.
I'm genuinely impressed. 🤩
You rock, Blowout Professor!!
I am 72 years old and I learned to clean my combs and hairbrushes from my father when I was young by soaking them in hot water with a tablespoon or two of ammonia. Works like magic and takes only a few minutes. I also remove the hair after every time I blow dry.
Yes! I remember my grandma doing this when I was a kid.
Instead of a bowl, I would recommend a wash basin like you get during a hospital stay. They’re usually a short rectangular shape & a decent depth, perfect for brushes! Check with older family & friends that are frequent flyers for hospital stays, they’re likely to have a stack of them! I’ve donated tons of them to local thrift stores.
Dishpan
@@pbear7814 thank you. I totally forgot what it’s called. 🤦♀️
That's what my mom always used. She also used peroxide and dish soap to clean them, I believe. 😳
Yup. Dish pan from the dollar store. I have 2 in the kitchen, 1 for cleaning hair brush/hair dying tools, 1 for makeup brushes and 1 for cleaning my nail implements. I buy them about 10 at a time and always keep extras in my pantry. So useful!
You can also use a nail cleaning brush to get the hair out your hair brush; it actually works pretty well.
That's what I do 😊
Me too 😂
This!
Thanks so much
I started watching your videos recently. Washed all my brushes since, changed my hair wash routine and ... today I received my Olaplex. So excited!!!!! My journey to beautiful hair has finally shifted into 5 gear. Holding my fingers crossed 🤞🏼
Dear Chris, I am almost fifty and since ever I had thin fine dry hair and none of my hair dresser ever told me how to treat my hair right. since I am watching your youtube channel I became the most beautiful curly hair. I can wear my hair now open thanks to you !!! thank you so much for your work here !!!
Upper dish rack in your dishwasher works great, just clean out all the hair first - place them bristles side down and run them through. Dishwasher detergent will eat through the gunk collection at the bristle base. Don’t forget to wash your dishwashing brush too. Everything comes out shiny and clean.
Thanks. I was wondering if the dishwasher would work.
Thanks for the tip!
THANK YOU! Great info!
Another added big step is to change your pillowcase at least every time you wash your hair! (assuming you wash your hair more often than changing your sheets..;).
Good for your skin too!
Chris I'm just so appreciative of this channel. I started using the recommended products you provided (leave in conditioner is a GAME CHANGER) and my hair has never looked this healthy in my life. I look forward to more videos!!
AMEN!! No wonder my hair was looking greasy only 24 hours after washing. YOU, Sir, have taught me EVERYTHING I know about caring for my dry coarse silver hair. It looks beautiful because of you, so THANK YOU! :)
Can you do a video on how to clean electric straightener brushes, all hot tools actually. Thank you. You are fantastic! My course hair has NEVER been better and I’m 68!!
Yes please
My lazy technique is I brush my hair lengths while the shampoo is sitting in them. I barely use any hair products so I consider it to be a decent method.
Ofc I do this gently and I start detangling from the ends. And, of course, I don't use my brushes on anyone else than myself (I am no hairdresser).
Crazy entertaining and useful anyway 👍 Thank you ❤
Ive been cleaning my hair tools now since I came across another video of yours. It makes so much difference, it also stops the burning smell when blow drying. But i basically include cleaning brushes as part of my hair care routine. Thanks for the top tip.
I was literally trying to figure this out on my own and I pretty much had every step except the denture cleaner!! Also it’s hilarious to see your business partner in the back 😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you for changing my hair life!!!
Hey Prof! I did an experiment, and you're totally right about finding your hair soul mate!
I tried the medium hair routine and pretty quickly realized it wasn't me... itchy scalp, lots of flyaways. So then I switched to the coarse hair routine, and WHOA. Frizz went down, flyaways went down, color looks better, and my hair soaked up all that moisture and doesn't feel greasy. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thank you for this video! I was only removing the hair from the brush! Such a difference after following your instructions. I also used it on my blow dryer brush (it has removable brush heads for easy cleaning). Your instructions worked for that, too! I will no longer live with dirty brushes!
The trinity system and the products recommended by you in your list basically saved my hair. Thank you so much!!
I’ve always washed my brushes every time I wash my hair. I just take them in the shower with me. I will definitely start to soak in hot water first and buy a denture brush instead of a toothbrush. Love your Chanel, you have helped my hair so much over the last few months
My hair has improved so much thanks to this channel. Thank you! I used to have beautiful hair and after chemo and treatments it's just gone dead and lifeless and breaks. I changed my shampoo and process and wow what a difference. Xoxo
Immediately bought a teasing brush and it is just so easy! It used to drive me insane how long and ineficient it was as a process. Thank you for the wisdom!🎉
I switched to a tangle teezer brand brush because it’s all solid plastic and doesn’t have the little beads on the ends of the bristles, so it’s SUPER easy to clean. Denman brushes are also great because you can take them apart. Never going back!
I'm a bit surprised people don't clean their brushes often, thank you for encouraging it! Good video!
I saw a brush full of hair and dust at the thrift store a few weekd ago, you won't believe it 🤢🤢
@@sea.imagineering 😆
@@sea.imagineering ewww, some things just shouldn’t be reused. 😂
@@batacumba ikr! 🤢
What happens when water gets between the pad and brush? This has happened to me and impossible to get out
I thought about that too until I realized that the water gets in thru the bristles so it evaporates thru them too. I live in AZ so I sit the brush outside. It's bone dry in 30 minutes tops.
Most of my brushes had a small hole in the plastic so I kind of squeezed it out - the rest has to dry on its own
This is why I avoid those types of brushes and stick to vent ones instead - less faff as they're easier to clean
I just found your CZcams channel! I downloaded your product list, took the quiz, and now I know how to care for brush’s. I can’t wait to have healthy hair again. I have natural blonde hair (it’s turning platinum my gray hair). I have tried so many products that have not worked. I am ready to start your process. Thank you!
I always hated cleaning my brushes 🤭 a while back, I bought a cheap denman-style brush and it's a dream to clean! The brush part slides out of the handle and you can take out the 'teeth' from the back! So I clean it all at night, lay it down to dry and put it together in the morning 😊 I lose a ton of hair due to an autoimmune disease and medicine, so removing the hair is a daily thing. Since my hair is super thin/fine, I can't have too many excess oils put on it, so I'm cleaning my brush every week.
I just love how many pictures you've taken with the wig !! the facial expressions are everything !
I love the commitment you have for making your videos super fun :)
Genuinely I felt like my brushes were the problem for my hair getting super oily faster than normal and I am so glad this video exists! I am definitely going to try this out!
I ADORE my Kent wooden, boar’s hair brush for scalp massage. You can’t soak it for a long time, but I DO wash it with conditioning shampoo
I was searching for an effective way to clean my brushes for years. Thank you so much! 🙏
THANK YOU for this video! I was looking for videos on how to clean my brush, but. this is by far the best one. You've done it again and saved my hair, Chris!
This was one of the most entertaining videos I've watched in a long time. I can't wait to do a deep cleanse of my brushes this weekend!
This was so helpful to finally know how to get all of that icky stuff off of the little plastic bristles!!! I have been spending way too much time every few days meticulously picking it out with my hands while wearing rubber gloves! (horrible, I know).
Now, I will happily have much cleaner brushes and more time!! So a big thank you for all of the fabulous advice!!
Why am I watching this? I don't even have a hairbrush
The Mason-Pearson brushes come with their own butler-brush-cleaning brush. I keep that little black plastic brush in my shower and use it on all my brushes. I squirt some dish soap on my hairbrush and wash it every time I wash my hair. Works great!
I lost my Mason-Pearson brush when I moved, and I’m sure as soon as I buy a new one, the old one will reappear. I mean, they last forever, so it’s not like you need two. Mine didn’t come with a brush-cleaning-brush, though, and that sounds really useful.
@@janetmckenzie146 i think you can totally justify the purchase. It’s always great to have a spare hairbrush, or have a clean one on hand if you can’t be bothered to wash them two times a week. I also think the brush-cleaning-brush is very very useful. 😁
I have one too. I completely forgot about that cleaning tool. Thanks for reminding me😊 and letting me know that I’m not a snob for buying a MP brush
I'm so curious how you got into hair. Did you love it as a child? Love watching you, your approach is so unique, direct, but entertaining without being cheesy.
I’ve always cleaned the hair from my brushes but needed this info. to do the rest. THANK YOU!! Been looking for this info for ages.
Thank you! Greatest hair brush cleaning hack ever! So easy and fast and I found both brushes at Walmart for around $6.00.
I remove hair from brush every time I brush. What's the best way to remove the dust bunnies stuck in brush?
Boar/nylon combo brush can be cleaned same way?
Right , it's a pain to get then off
So annoying! The dust bunny struggle is real. 😂❤
I use tweezers 🤷♀️
Scrubbing with another brush like a toothbrush
You’re simply my hero ! You saved me from my menopausal hair which changed texture completely from beautiful to ugly 😢however you saved me and now I’m using all the products suggested by you for my hair type ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Try nutritional yeast. Goes good on Salads.
I bought the backcombing brush and denture cleaner. I can't wait for my brushes to be like new again. I really can't thank you enough for this amazing advice!!
Been here since the first 10k and I’m so happy to have seen you grow so much this year. Keep grinding! The 1M is just around the corner!
I have a slightly different method.
After cleaning out all the hair, and as much of the white fuzzy stuff as possible, I spray the brush heavily with blue window cleaner, then scrub and rinse. No soaking.
The cleaner dissolves the oil that holds the gunk on the brushes, and gets in between the bristles well.
Do you scrub immediately after spraying?
@@crashalw7sh425 I let it sit for a minute or so to soften the gunk.
Hi Chris, thank you so much for all your amazing advice. I went from washing my hair 3 times a week to once a week 😌 I have really fine hair and always struggles with hair growth and that flat oily hair look 😢… but I found my hair soulmate now thanks to your help and advise.
Going to trying to incorporate blow drying my hair … I’ll make sure to watch your video on that again before I do.
I've had issues with cat fuzz for decades and you have solved all my problems. Kudos.
I’ve been grimacing at the state of my hair brush recently (I clear the hair after every use but it’s the other residue…), avoiding it because I thought I would have to scrub forever. This is a great lazy person method! Thank you!!!
Seriously looove your informative, fun and funny videos!! My hair relationship has totally changed for the best and I have healthier hair than ever thanks to you, Chris!
The denture cleaners seem like a game changer! Thanks, Chris! May I throw out there an idea for another video: because I have bleached hair, I always use both conditioner and a hair mask afterwards. But I've heard things like if you put conditioner first then you're preventing the hair mask to really get into your hair and do its thing. Or that it doesn't really matter and conditioner is an unnecessary extra step because it's not going to do anything the hair mask can't do (and better). And every time I wash my hair, and I ask myself the same question, I think: "Chris probably has the answer and will surely have the best advice so I stop dumping my money down the drain". So I'm crossing my fingers you read this comment and clear up this conundrum (eventually). Thanks again!
i cant remember which video it was but he did say that if youre using a hair mask, you dont need conditioner after
his "professional guide to hair masks" video has some good info on this, and his hair routine videos
@@sunbeam3658 thanks! I'll check them out
I have been wondering the exact same thing! I haven't found any solid resources, but I remember hearing someone say that conditioner is meant to close the hair cuticle to help it retain moisture - so I have been using masks before conditioner. Now that I have taken the time to type this out, it seems like a mask would be sufficient on its own, so I'll go that route and see if I notice any difference from what I've been doing. I was just excited someone had the same question I did!
It's one or the other. No need to use a conditioner if you've already used a mask!
Thank you! This simple video started me on better hair care. I am amazed at how much better my color is staying following your hair care guidelines and how long my hair stays clean now that I am cleaning my hairbrushes. Duh!
Yep. It’s the brushes that slather the oil back where it came from. Ick! I have a few brushes and clean them all on the same day so I have a clean one when I need it. I do makeup brushes that day as well. This channel is awesome!
I'm so glad people are finally catching on. I have been cleaning my own hair brushes for years and no one told me. I just put two and two together. i thought i was the odd one out because i just didn't think it was right to have a dirty brush in my hair!
This video was massively informative while also entertaining! Thank you for the recs!
oh woah, this is the video i needed. had so much oily buildup. i didnt do everything as shown, but i followed the general theme and now its basically spotless.
thanks so much i’ve been confounded how to clean those buildups of dust and grime around the brush bristles, can’t wait to try this out now!
Thank you, Chris, for everything, my hair was damaged and very dry from heat styling and coloring. I have tried everything on the social media, and nothing helped me other than your videos. My hair feels so soft, and I can easily style it and it doesn't get frizzy at all. YOU HAVE TRANSFORMED MY HAIR
Hey my hair is like that too, which videos of his did you use? I just found him so I'm like, lost
I agree with every word she said.
Yes thank you!
Thanks for the advice. I started cleaning my brushes monthly because if I don't, I start itching. That's quite the reminder. Although I usually just scrub them (using a boar bristle brush) under running water with some hand soap, without any pre-soak. That method works well for wooden brushes, actually. Unless you have some really gnarly gunk buildup, the difficult part is really just getting in between the bristles, imo.
Getting to the base of the bristles is the worst
@@JClover2 Yeah, totally!
I use one of those pump-pressure garden spray bottles from the dollar store and Dawn dish soap. Fill the bottle and pressurize. Spray your hair-free brush thoroughly with the warm soapy water, up and down the bristles. Let sit for a few minutes then spray again and rinse. No soaking necessary. MUCH faster than anything I have tried so far, and no soaking to ruin my (wooden) brush or having to squeeze water out of the base.
Chris, you are absolutely one of my favorite people ever! I love your videos, and you've really helped me make my hair SO much better. (Plus you're hilarious). Thanks for making my day, pretty much every day!
OMG you just read my mind, Chris! I was just wondering how to clean my brush and then just gave up and went to CZcams. This video was first on my feed. What were the odds! Love your channel. You've saved my greasy hair 😊.
This video is super helpful. Thank you for this. How do we clean the Revlon blowdry brushes?
Yes, I would like to know as well. I typically clean it after every use, I’ll rake out the hair then take my wash cloth and scrub it with that to try and get the bristles clean as possible.
Yes please! Omg my blow dry brush is honestly disgusting despite getting all the hair out every time I use it 😂. The product buildup from using blow dry balms and smoothers I swear is impossible to get out.
Clean the hair off the brush part and then use rubbing alcohol swabs to clean the grease and buildup off
@@thesilence5143 - thank you, this is super helpful and I've already tried out your suggestion. It works well!!
Hands down BEST video on how to clean your hairbrush!!!
That's hilarious, I've been cleaning my brushes with shampoo set/teasing brushes since cosmetology school in '95.. nobody ever taught me that, so I'm STOKED that I've been doing it right all along! Thanks Chris, this video is still a great helpful reminder of all the steps, bc barbicide alone doesn't always do a thorough job. YOU ROCK!
I have been waiting for someone to make a video like this for so, so, so long. Thank you for finally confirming that my crazy tactics of continuing to clean my brush after every use is legit ❤
Thanks for this Chris. I love your recommended wet brush but it collects hair and stuff on the base quickly. I got a Landot blow dry brush that came with a small brush tool to remove hair on the barrel. Works great on the wet brush too. Thanks for making my hair look great! Hi Christina 👋
It does! I switched to the wet brush recently and noticed lint collects on the base of each strand. Thankfully they're easy to wash, especially the ones for fine hair
Great video!❤️ Here’s the cleaning recipe I use for hair and makeup brushes (amazing!!):
1 cup warm water
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 tablespoon Dawn dish soap-original blue kind.
(Soak & work makeup out with fingers etc, then rinse with clean water and squeeze or shake excess water out, dry makeup brushes on towel overnight, ready to use in the morning! 💕)
This is very helpful and much easier than how I've been cleaning my brushes. Thank you!
Dollar tree has a bristle cleaner similar to the denture cleaner not quite as dense in bristles. Works well. I use a mixture of half dawn and vinegar, i use the same mixture for my makeup brushes too. Love you Chris
Dawn is amazing. I use it for so many things. Grease spots on t-shirts, homemade weed killer, now brush cleaning...
I use a wide tooth comb and a little clarifying shampoo to clean my brushes. I also have a wood brush for winter and I clean it the same way. I don't soak, just scrub with shampoo when damp and rinse. I do it whenever I start to see buildup and it keeps my stuff clean.
Thank you for all of these tips! And the acknowledgement of what's a realistic schedule & method, rather than ideal 😂 I'll be coming back to this the next time I clean my brush
Finally, I’ve been doing something right. But I find it satisfying to use the sprayer in the shower, put it down on the floor while it’s still soapy, hold it still with my foot and blast it with the highest setting. I have been doing this for probably 20 years, even with a vintage Avon brush and it works really well.
I like to take my brushes, et al, in the shower each week when I wash my hair; except for my hair equipment I use cheap clarifying shampoo (would never use on my hair) that I keep to remove grease stains out of clothing & clean combs, brushes, etc.
Great tips! I usually soak my brushes before I wash my hair, then after I’ve applied shampoo & am letting conditioner/hair mask soak in I step out of shower, grab my brushes, and clean them with a toothbrush in the shower that way it’s clean when I need to use it to blow dry my hair!
I love your videos and Ive learned so much from you. My hair has grown past my waist like My 20s !! The redken repair really works. This is week 8 for me. Next Im going to use rice water.
I wash my brushes regularly, but there are many new tips and tricks in this video to help. Many thanks.
I use a nail brush, you could scrub it whilst it’s fully submerged and it won’t flick droplets at you.
Love these tips for cleaning your brushes. Any tips for cleaning my blow dry brush? I usually just remove the hair from the barrel but I wonder if there is any way to clean the base of the brush. Obviously you can't soak it in water, but maybe there is a way to clean it. I bet product accumulates over time.
I was thinking that too!
what i do is get the hair off first then i spray it with alcohol in a spray bottle, and then i wipe it down. it works really good.
I just cleaned mine, exactly how tou said and they are like brand new!! Thank you.
Thank you, Chris!! This was a learning experience and you make it fun!! 💚
