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?

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

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.

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.

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.
