Guide to Professional Comb Cleaning: Tips to Keep Your Comb Always Looking New

As a distributor and retailer of hair care tools, do you frequently encounter questions from customers about "how to clean a hairbrush"? A clean hairbrush not only enhances the user experience but also extends product life and increases repurchase rates. This article will provide a detailed introduction to professional cleaning solutions for various types of hairbrushes, helping your customers better maintain their products and improve satisfaction.

1. Why Should You Regularly Clean Your Hairbrush?

During use, hairbrushes accumulate scalp oils, wax residues, dust, and even dandruff, all of which are breeding grounds for bacteria and fungi:

• An uncleaned hairbrush can have up to 500,000 bacteria

• Dirty brushes can lead to scalp issues (dandruff, itching)

• Residues can affect brush performance (tangling, reduced conductivity)

• Regular cleaning can extend brush life by 30-50%

2. Specialized Cleaning Solutions for Different Brush Materials

Boar bristle brushes are darlings of the high-end market, but improper cleaning can easily damage the bristles:

1. Pre-treatment: Use a fine-tooth comb to remove tangled hair

2. Soak: Soak in warm water with a small amount of shampoo for 10 minutes (water temperature not exceeding 40℃)

3. Brush: Use a soft-bristle toothbrush to gently brush along the bristle growth direction

4. Air Dry: Invert to air dry in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight

Professional Tip: Sanitize once a month with tea tree oil water (5 drops oil + 200ml water)
