How Do You Clean Your Hairbrush?
Ask a Question
I pull out any hair then put it in the dishwasher on the top shelf. I use hairspray and other products on my hair so my hairbrush does go cloudy. I’ve been putting my brush in the dishwasher for years but my daughter thinks it’s disgusting.
I soak the brushes and combs in dettol and hot water and then give them a scrub with a nail brush once a month.
I don’t think many people clean their hairbrushes these days. My friend just buys a new one.
Pjran what a waste of money! I agree though, it is something I’ve always done because my Mum did it!
Gosh I’m obviously going back decades, I remember in Domestic Science lesson we were taught to wash our brushes and combs. Also to starch tray doilies.
Clean all loose hair with comb then soak in hot water and detol as only certain brushes go through my hair
I use this hair removal tool 
the and then I wash them with shampoo and leave them to dry naturally
I agree with your daughter, if you really need to put a hairbrush in the dishwasher, maybe put it in the bottom shelf.
Looking like an unkempt version of Grisly Adams I have to keep pulling the hair off my hair brush at regular intervals, but dont really clean the brush that often. I do take it into the shower occasionally which kind of cleans it! never thought about the dishwasher - might give it ago but not while the wife is around as she will go mad!
Personally I use a pin or something similar to pull all hair off, I sometimes soak in warm water but most of the time I just bin the brush because my hair is so naturally greedy and malts loads so more effort than worth for a £1 brush.
Pjran Wilkinsons sell hairbrushes for a pound as well as the £1 shops. I clean my hairbrush with scissors then wash.
I get their hair out of it with a knitting needle and then soak it with water and disinfectant periodically.
Fairy easy for me i use my fingers and wash them after sorting my hair out as i have sort hair 
You are extremely fortunate to be blessed with good hair. I have to style mine everyday.
I don’t own knitting needles, I tried to learn to knit when I was pregnant but mum and my sister did all the hard work and I only did a couple of lines.
I use a comb to get the hair out of my brush. It depends on how bad the brush and combs are after use. I soak them in hot soapy water or clean them while i'm in the shower. 
ew not sure about the dishwasher, i just use a comb to get the hair out then use hot water on it if needed but honestly i just replace them after a month or two
Take the hair off - if you have long hair you might want to cut it with scissors rather than just using your fingers to pull it off - then YES in the dishwasher. I also put with my nail file in the dishwasher from time to time!
Ooh I’ve not thought of that. I know its been suggested to put washing up sponges in the dishwasher but I’ve not tried that yet.
Pjran I don't have a problem with sponges as they get put into the 'hot wash' pile on (at least) a daily basis.
Pull hairs out wash with washing up liquid,as my hair is greasy, rinse....combs too

you comb through the brush with this mini rake.. can make a good backscratcher for a rabbit
