For many, keeping their hair clean is essential. However, beyond washing it regularly, whether your hair looks beautiful depends on other factors. Properly choose the products you are going to use during this routine or do not abuse serums or oil that make your hair look greasy. However, there are others that some people may overlook, such as the importance of the condition of the combs used.
It must be taken into account that these objects are used daily and some of the residue that is in the hair such as dandruff or oils may remain. In addition, it is common that having them on top of bathroom furniture fills them with dust and particles in the air. That is why to have clean hair it is also necessary that the tools you use are clean.
A study from the University of Arizona states that hairbrushes are one of the most common homes for bacteria. It is estimated that more than three thousand colonies of bacteria can accumulate per square inch. These come from strands of broken hair and the residue that is formed due to the products we use for our hair as it contains a large amount of dead skin cells, dust and product residue.
How to clean combs
The TikTok account @infarmarte shared with its followers a video in which it explains a very simple trick to make your combs completely clean.
The first thing you should do is remove the hairs contained in the comb. Next, fill a container large enough for the brushes with very hot water and sprinkle baking soda on top. You should also add a splash of shampoo, no special shampoo is necessary, the one you use daily is fine.
The next step is to immerse them in water and let them soak for approximately an hour. As the minutes go by, you will see how “the dandruff, grease and dirt” they contain will come off the combs and end up at the bottom of the container.
Finally, with an object that fits between the tines, remove the remains that have remained on the comb. As this pharmacist points out, “if the brushes are not cleaned well, the hair will look greasy a few days after washing it.” This method is not valid for wooden combs, since water can damage this material.
