My dog would get pizzed if I dried her face-down! She gets blow-dried then shaved...

Otherwise, thanks for the tips. I did notice it gets linted-up quite a bit, probably because of the oils on the bristles.

Wash your BBB as you would wash a dog. With a gentle shampoo. Then dry it face-down on a rack so that the water doesn't seep into the holes of the bristle base. This shouldn't be done too often.

The other thing I like to do is de-lint using a fine-toothed comb.

Well using a brush on curls would make a big poofy mess which won't go away till the next wash. But as long as the brush is a bbb and seamless i shouldn't do that much harm. When Miri tryed it on her hair she couldn't get it through due to the hickness of her hair. But if you want to use a BBB then by all means use it.

Hi Misty,
 
I was mine with warm water a tiny bit of washing up liquid, then i leave to air dry, usally about every two weeks.
 
Hope this helps

How do you care for your brush?

Do you ever wash it?

If so, how often?

What washing technique do you use?

And how do you dry it?
