How to clean a dirty hairbrush for healthier hair and scalp - Lubbock Avalanche-Journal
That hairbrush you grab every morning, whether you're rushing to class at Texas Tech or heading to work downtown, might be a lot grimier than you think.
Accumulated gunk in your brush can also irritate your scalp. Think about all the styling products and dead skin cells getting stuck in those bristles. Over time, that mess can contribute to scalp itchiness or even make your hair feel greasy, regardless of how often you wash it.
A quick clean can make a surprising difference for your hair and scalp health. Regularly removing hair and washing your brush helps keep your strands genuinely clean and your scalp happier. This simple step can upgrade your daily routine, whether you live in Tech Terrace or out near Raintree. Studies show most people go months without cleaning their hairbrush, but a weekly wash is what truly keeps it effective.
