Taking Care of your Brush

This is the brush I am currently using. The Conair item number is #95116N. It is called a Wood Flair Brush and is designed for traditional brushing of all hair lengths and textures. The bristles are a blend of natural boar bristles and nylon tufts, which evenly distribute the scalp's natural oils to enhance hair's own shine, controls and lifts hair for added volume. It is a very stiff brush and will get through any type or thickness of hair to the scalp.

Of course, this isn't the only brush you should use. There are lots of good brushes out there. If you don't have much hair, you may want a softer brush. Avoid brushes with widely spaced, single bristles.

Taking Care of your Brush

A brush may last you one to three years. Be sure to replace it when it gets worn and bristles get broken. If you are no longer able to easily get the brush to lift or penetrate your hair, you probably need a new one.

Remove hair from brush by raking a medium or wide tooth comb through it.

Wash your brush every two weeks with warm water and shampoo. Swish the brush in the suds for a minute. Use another brush to loosen dirt and buildup from the base. Use a toothbrush to scrub and lift dirt from between bristles. Rinse. Do not soak your brush, as it can destroy the wood or cushion. Air dry on a towel with the bristles facing down. It may help to keep the brush with the bristles facing down all the time, to keep dust out.
