How do you wash your combs and brushes ?
Do you wash your combs and brushes every time you wash your hair?

I should really start washing them, I do do it often enough.

I usually wash them in the kitchen sink, with dishwashing liquid or shampoo... and scrub them with an old toothbrish.

I wash mine twice a month with dish detergent and hot, hot water.

I use an old plastic bowl with extremely hot water and Clorox. Sometimes I use Isopropyl Alcohol (rubbing alcohol) because they both kill germs and dissolve oil/dirt.

 

[Stormy]

I usually just wash mine every so often after washing my hair. I use my same shampoo that I wash my hair with and very hot water. I think I'll start using alcohol or clorox too to make sure I kill the germs. Thanks for the reminder Jewell.

Do you think popping them in the microwave will hurt them?

No prob. Regular detergent kills SOME germs too, but ya'll know Clorox kills 'er thang.

I wash my combs and brushes once a week with shampoo and hot water. Sometimes I rinse them with hot water and clorox.

2 mins can't hurt!!!

 

[Chinagem]

I wash mine in a baking soda/shampoo solution and then i spritz them with a bleach/water solution before doing a final rinse.

what kind of bacteria can grow on a hair brush/comb?

 

[Whisper]

I take two brushes and squirt a clarifiying shampoo on the bristles and rub them together under hot water.

I wash mine with shampoo once/week. I don't feel that I need to sanitize them because my combs have antimicrobial protection which inhibits bacteria growth. Also I throw out my combs every other month and buy a fresh new set. I do the same with my #440 brushes.

 

[mochamadness]

I only use combs and I wash them with a clarifying shampoo once a week.

BUMP............

 

[MizAvalon]

I don't use a brush and only comb my hair while in the shower with conditioner in it. Perhaps I should start washing my Jilbere shower comb?

I just leave it hanging up in the shower all the time. Honestly, I never even think about washing it, lol.

Hope that's not too gross.

I scrub my combs and brushes against each other to remove dirt and oil after wetting and applying either shampoo or bar soap. Whatever comb i use for detangling in the shower gets clean at that time. Since going natural, I hardly use brushes and my combs don't get very dirty, probably because I co-wash a few times a week.

 

[BAILEYSCREAM]

I wash or at least rinse my combs everyday under hot running water and shampoo if needed. For about 6 months or more I have been washing my hair either daily or every 2-3 days (this helps to keep your combs clean). I never actually use antibacterial cleansers for my combs and this has worked well for years....

Brushes, which I don't use very often, are usually washed with shampoo and hot water and a fine toothed comb to get out all the hairs every month.

 

[TwistNMx]

I soak my combs once a week in soapy 'hot' water before cleaning them. I have a brush that I only use for the purpose of cleaning the combs. I use dishwashing liquid and sometimes old shampoo,

 

[Sweet_Ambrosia]
