Why clean your hairbrushes?

Did you know that your hairbrush could be a breeding ground for microbes? Hair, sebum, dirt like dust, dead skin cells, and leftover hair product residues accumulate over time. These can lead to scalp irritation, unpleasant odours, and, in severe cases, even skin conditions.

We get it—it’s not the most glamorous topic, but it’s an important reality to face. And, of course, we don’t want that for you or your hair.

Keeping your hairbrush clean not only protects your scalp and hair health but also ensures your hairbrush lasts longer. It’s a win-win for you and your locks!
