It can be months and even longer than anyone might be willing to admit before these hair care must-haves get some soap and water. But cleaning a hair brush correctly is a fundamental task and should be done with some frequency. It is much less cumbersome than that feeling of laziness that postpones the moment may lead us to believe. And it will be essential if you want to have good-looking and, above all, healthy hair.
In the event that the correct hygiene of these accessories is not sufficient motivation, knowing the negative consequences of using a dirty comb or brush probably will. The main risk is that they will become nests for bacteria, fungus and dirt, which will not only make the scalp dirty. But it can also cause other more serious problems, such as infections, dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis.
Every time you brush your hair, all the dirt from it goes directly into this utensil. That is, the oils and products for hair care and styling, its grease and the dust or other particles that settle on it. All that accumulates in the hair brush and it is what we make it happen over and over again on it. In fact, the number of products used will mark the frequency with which it should be sanitized.
People with hair that regularly resorts to oils or gels, for example, should clean their brushes and hair combs weekly. While those who do not use these cosmetics on a normal basis, a cleaning every two or three weeks will suffice.
