A Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your Hair Tools

A Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your Hair Tools

At Aséptiqo, we know the importance of clean hair tools for maintaining healthy hair and scalp. Hairbrushes and combs collect hair, oil, dead skin, and product residue over time, creating a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. Regular cleaning is essential, not just for hygiene, but to protect your hair and scalp. Let Aséptiqo guide you through the simple steps to keep your tools clean and effective.

Why Cleaning Your Hair Tools Matters

Dirty tools can lead to:

  • Scalp Irritation: Bacteria and residue can cause redness, itchiness, and dandruff.
  • Hair Breakage: Built-up residue increases friction, weakening your strands.
  • Reduced Effectiveness: Hair products and oils on your tools can prevent them from working properly.

That’s why Aséptiqo prioritizes hygiene in everything we do, helping you maintain healthier hair and scalp with ease.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide

1. Hairbrushes

What You’ll Need:

  • Warm water
  • Mild shampoo or soap
  • An old toothbrush

Steps:

  1. Remove Loose Hair: Use your fingers or a comb to pull out any hair stuck between the bristles. If you’re using an Aséptiqo BRUSH, our easy-to-clean materials make this step quick and hassle-free.
  2. Soak: Fill a basin with warm water and add a small amount of shampoo or soap. Submerge the brush (avoid soaking wooden handles).
  3. Scrub: Use the toothbrush to gently scrub between the bristles, focusing on areas with residue. The design of Aséptiqo brushes ensures that dirt and buildup rinse away easily.
  4. Rinse: Run the brush under clean water to remove soap and loosened dirt.
  5. Dry: Lay the brush bristles-down on a clean towel to air dry completely before use.

2. Combs

  1. Remove Hair: Pull out any strands trapped between the teeth. With Aséptiqo COMBS, smooth edges and sleek designs make this step a breeze.
  2. Wash: Dip the comb in soapy water and use your fingers or a toothbrush to clean between the teeth.
  3. Rinse: Rinse thoroughly under running water to remove all soap.
  4. Dry: Pat dry with a towel or let air dry.

3. Other Hair Accessories

What You’ll Need:

  3. Rinse and Dry: Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely before use.

How Often Should You Clean Your Tools?

At Aséptiqo, we recommend the following cleaning schedule:

  • Combs: Weekly, especially if used with styling products.

To prolong the life of your Aséptiqo hair tools:

  • Store them in a clean, dry place to avoid dust and contamination.
