The Easy Way to Clean Your Hairbrushes

Season greetings to all.
How often do you clean your hair brush?
I have collected some of my hairbrushes that were looking rather tatty!.
Did you know NOT cleaning your brush will lead to bacteria and germs that is being passed from your brush on to your scalp and hair, this will leave hair greasy, limp and lifeless so a clean brush is healthy for the hair in many ways.
I will share a fast SIMPLE EASY hack to clean all your hairbrushes using only one ingredient
Collect all your dirty hair brushes like below
Upstyle Recommends!
full of hair and residue build up from hair products I use ect.
They definitely need a clean!!
FIRSTLY
With a fine tooth comb, comb out the brushes removing all loose hair
Like below
Carry on untill you have removed all the hair like so..
Place the unwanted hair in the the bin!
Now my magic ingredient
STERADENT denture tablets
They cost £1 they are a great cleaning solution, consisting of sodium bicarbonate amongst many other cleaning benefits.
Brushes why..
Stick with me.
Fill up the sink with warm water. (Warm means tepid)
Once you have detangled all the unwanted hairs from your brushes
Place them in the water
Put your tablet into warm water
It will start bubbling, this is cleaning your brushes
like below
Come back in 30 mins!
Let it work its magic removeing all the rancid buildup that we collect in our hairbrushes
30 mins later
Horrible!!
So dirty!!
let the water out it
I fill the sink with fresh warm water
I leave to sit in freash warm Water for a extra 10 mins to rince any residue from the denture tablet.
I give each one a shake while in the water.
Next
I use a clean dry towel and lie it on the floor
Placeing each brush on the dry towel
Fold it over
Dab them gently,
Dry the handles
You will notice a difference straight away!
They look brand new.
NO MORE.
Build up of hair products or even dead skin cells 🤪
Sounds scruffy but dust mites can live in our hairbrushes.
They are looking very fresh!!
A pleasure to use!
The red one I was going to put into the bin.
But I tried the trick my auntie told me, and I'm impressed!
Denture tablets wow.
They have removed all the gritty bit's that builds up, plus removed all the oils and hair products I have collected over time.
This will certainly prevent split ends and greasy hair💯
If you use a lot of products you should do this every week to your hairbrush.
If you use no products you should clean your hairbrush every 3/4 weeks
keeping scalps clean from skin irritation.
A very fast way to clean every inch of your hairbrush.
You will see the dirt slip of. 😉
Hope you enjoyed this fast easy hack
Merry Christmas

After combing out the loose hair, Pour about a tablespoon of ammonia over the hairbrush, let it sit and rinse it in about 2 minutes and you're done. Save your money on denture tabs.
I will let you know if it works. Thank you for the tip!
