Cleaning a Hairbrush

I use a either a cocktail stick or a metal skewer to loosen the bits that encircle the prongs and then a pair of tweezers.

I use a fine comb to pull out all the hair, and then wash it in the sink with shampoo.

That's what I do on a regular basis but there was still this gunk left. I don't use hair products like hairspray etc so I am wondering if its anything to do with DD.

Anyway just to let you all know the dishwasher did the trick - one like new gunk free hairbrush :T

hello, this is my 1st post on the OS forum, so a big hello.

Just wondering could anyone advise on how to remove that weird fluff/gunk stuff from a hairbrush. It takes ages to get it off. Also does anyone know what it is?

cheers !

Hello. Welcome.

Dunno what it is.. but I usually soak my brush in hot water with shampoo added. Gets most of it, then I just pick at the rest.

Actually now I use a wide tooth comb so don't get that problem

I don't have any hair....well hardly any.... but when I did I found that dishwasher detergent in a jug of hot water is good!

I always thought it was built up styling products.

Hi merchantofvenice,

Welcome to MSE :hello:

There's an older thread that might give you some more ideas:

Cleaning a Hairbrush

I'll merge your thread with that one later to keep all the suggestions together.
