How should I clean my hairbrush?

Kelley, via e-mail.

Answer:

If you have a plastic or metal brush, you should remove the hair with your fingers or another brush, then soak your brush in a mixture of shampoo and tea-tree oil to dissolve any product build-up. The oil acts as a disinfectant.

If your brush is wooden with pure bristles, you need to use a comb to remove the hair. Dip it in the same mixture, but wash the brush straight away. Soaking a wooden brush in water for too long can cause damage. Allow your brush to dry naturally in fresh air or use a hairdryer. It’s time to toss away your brush when the bristles become curvy at the ends and start to fall out.
