there was a thread before on cleaning your durag with ammonia thats works really great. but how do you clean your brush out so its not greasy. one one side of my brush at the bottom of the bristles i have a clump of black grease stuck to each group of bristles. and in the lines in the brush theres littles hair from brushing.

how do you go about getting them out, and whats an effective way to do so?

I doubt this is the easiest/ most effective way but i just run it under hot water (or let it sit in it for a while so it'll loosen the grease) then i scrape it out with a comb

I try to keep my brush clean every 3 or 4 days by just running hot water on it. If you do it this way your the grease won't have time to build up in your brush.

try using hot water and dishwashing soup. That helps to remove all the grease.

good question fam.. something real original and that can provoke some constructive responses... what i do is use hot water .. but the thing is if you have the wrong kinda brush.. (holly wood beauty.. i kno cuz i had one).. i you run it through hot water too much.. the wood starts wear with it.. (no homo)
