All items involved in hair care must be clean. Otherwise, it is simply impossible to maintain the ideal condition of the hair and hairstyle in general.

Combs and brushes

Learning how to properly clean your brushes and combs is very important. First, remove any hair that is stuck in it. Now take your old toothbrush and gently rinse your combs with a little shampoo. You need to wash your combs at least once every one to two weeks. After all, they collect dust and grease from the scalp, as well as styling products, which harms not only the comb, but also your hair.

Wooden brushes and combs from wet cleaning can quickly deteriorate, they are only indicated for dry care - remove dirt with a dry toothbrush, and then wipe the teeth with a cotton pad moistened with alcohol or a damp cloth.

After cleaning with a brush, soak all others (rubber and plastic) in a container with water and shampoo for 5-7 minutes to remove the dirt a little. You can use dish soap instead of shampoo.

Make sure you remove all dirt before you start drying. Dry the combs on a cotton or linen towel with the cloves down.

To prevent brushing from becoming a problem, try to remove hair from its teeth every day - well, or at least every other day. However, this does not mean that you do not need to rinse the comb.

If the iron and flat iron plates are heavily contaminated, they will not heat up evenly, which can damage your hair.

Irons and curling irons

Having finished with the combs, we turn to the hair styling devices. Curling irons, hair irons, and also heat rollers fall into this category. If the iron and flat iron plates are heavily contaminated, they will not heat up evenly, which can damage your hair.

Make sure the appliance is warm before cleaning. But not hot or cold. If it's cold, turn it on for a few minutes, then turn it off and let it cool so it doesn't feel hot to the touch. Remember to unplug the power cord.

All dirt can be removed with a soft towel dipped in warm water. The main thing is that the towel does not scratch the surface of the plates. At the same time, their warmth will itself speed up cleaning. If you are cleaning a curling iron or using an iron to curl your hair, you must wipe the entire appliance, not just the inner surfaces.

Remove especially stubborn dirt with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. After cleaning, wipe off the unit with a clean, dry cloth, and be sure to air dry before use.

Never use a wet device. It can damage your hair.

Ideally, irons and curling irons should be cleaned after each use.

Hot rollers are easy to clean - you can hold them in warm water with soapy water, then rinse and be sure to let them dry completely.

Accessories

Various elastic bands and hairpins help us to make different hairstyles and simply collect our hair. However, over time, they become dirty. You may have slept with them or did the cleaning, so they need to be cleaned from time to time. It's easy enough to do.

Fill a small bowl with warm water and add some shampoo. Place your accessories in there and leave them on for a few minutes. Rinse each item gently to remove grease and dirt. Then just rinse all accessories with clean water.

The best remedy

White vinegar is an excellent cleaner for hair care devices. It is enough to spray a little white vinegar on the item to be cleaned and then wipe it down with a clean cloth. With the antibacterial properties of white vinegar, you can quickly and easily remove pathogenic bacteria from your tools. To make spraying easier, pour vinegar into a spray bottle.
