Over time, a brush accumulates lost hair, dust, sebum, or even hair care residues.
Without maintenance, it quickly becomes a nest of impurities. Washing your hairbrush regularly is therefore essential to preserve its quality and keep your hair healthy.
How to clean your hairbrush effectively?
Knowing how to clean your hairbrush means extending its lifespan and ensuring an optimal brushing experience.
Cleaning according to the type of brush
Proper care always depends on the material of your brush:
- Boar bristle brush: after each brushing, remove the hair stuck between the pins. Once a month, gently wipe the bristles with a slightly damp cloth, then let it air dry, bristles facing down.
- Nylon brush: nylon fibers are more robust. You can scrub the pins with a small brush or a cleaning comb, then wipe with a damp cloth.
- Mixed brush (boar + nylon): maintain it like a boar bristle brush, gently focusing on the nylon pins to remove impurities, but never soak the base.
La Bonne Brosse offers a cleaning brush specially designed for this purpose. Practical and effective, it makes daily maintenance easier and extends the life of your accessory.
The importance of maintaining your hairbrush
Proper cleaning preserves the materials, prevents residues, and maintains brushing efficiency. It protects the cushion, respects the fibers, and prolongs the brush’s lifespan.
Boar bristles, soft nylon, or vegan versions reveal their full effectiveness when kept clean. A well-maintained brush distributes natural sebum better, disciplines the hair, and respects the scalp.
By following these simple steps, you keep a healthy, high-performance brush worthy of La Bonne Brosse’s craftsmanship.
How often should you wash your hairbrush?
Washing your hairbrush requires regularity. After each use, remember to remove the strands stuck between the pins: this simple gesture prevents dust and residues from building up.
Once a week, plan a deeper cleaning. The La Bonne Brosse cleaning brush has been designed for this purpose: it effectively removes sebum, dust, and hair product residues while respecting the most delicate materials.
With such a routine, your hair benefits from healthier brushing and your brush retains its performance over time.
