So, I finally bought a boar bristle brush and i love it. How do I clean it? I have found a lot of loose hair in there and I wanted to know if water will damage it or if you had any special cleaning techniques?
Thanks in advance!  ------------- Hair is BSL+ as of 9/15/05 |

LOL, Don't let the wet dog smell scare you! You can clean out stuck hairs using a wide toothed comb. Some people shampoo their BBB with their usual shampoo. The important thing is to dry the brush bristle-side down.... so that the water doesn't absorb into the bristle base holes, or the brush pad. I don't clean my BBB because I like to keep the natural oils in it. What I plan to do soon is re-oil it LIGHTLY with jojoba and then "comb" it out.

Ooh, good idea with the jojoba oil AnaisSatin, thanks for your reply. How often should I clean my brush and I know the BBB is supposed to remove loose hair but how much? There seems to be quite a bit already! ------------- Hair is BSL+ as of 9/15/05 |

Hi Goldielocks, Clean your brush as often as you need to keep it as clean as you wish it to be. Always thoroughly detangle your hair (wide-tooth comb, regular comb, paddle brush - in that order) before using the BBB. That will help reduce the fallout while using the BBB to a minimum. Hope this helps!  ------------- |
