Why not use a brush to clean a brush?
TikTok
Hairbrush TikTok is an entire corner of the app itself. Who could forget the viral TikTok shared by Jessica Haizman in early 2021 that was all about showing you what can happen when you don’t wash your hairbrush (via TikTok). The gross-looking brown water her hairbrush left behind sent everyone into a panic and straight to their sinks to wash their own. Well, Jonathan Monroe has shared his own super helpful step-by-step technique on how to wash your hairbrush and give it a second life.
In the video, Monroe explains how he begins by using a rat-tail comb to weave through his hairbrush and remove all of the hair and product buildup (via TikTok). But that’s not where you should leave things, he goes on to fill a bowl with warm water, apple cider vinegar, and baking soda to soak the hairbrush in before proceeding to use a toothbrush to really scrub deeply. Leave it to dry overnight and just like that you’ll have a brand new hairbrush and avoid having your hair get greasier with every brush!
