As much as we brush our hair for that perfect smooth and shiny result, using the right styling tools is crucial (hey B.R.U.S.H 30/40), but even caring about the tool to get that good of a wow results counts. Your hot thermal brush will accumulate product residue, hair, and even dust over time, so if you don’t clean it properly it may not be as effective or worse – damage your hair. And that is why cleaning your bathroom will be vital.
In this post, I’ll be taking you through a step-by-step guide on how to clean your hot thermal brush as well as everything you need to know about why it is so important and what you can do ensure that it continues working perfectly for the next few years! Finally, discover the secret to how looking after your B.R.U.S.H 30/40 helps keep hair salon smooth and frizz free every single time.
Importance of Cleaning Your Hot Thermal Brush
But come on, who doesn’t love having a B.R.U.S.H 30/40 in hand to style hair in 5 minutes? Whether I want to style my hair long and straight, or if I need a little more volume and waves, this is my secret weapon for bang-in-minutes simplicity. However, just like any other styling tool that gets regularly used, the brush becomes covered with hair, product build up and natural oils. These factors can lead to two problems:
Inconsistent Heating: If your thermal brush is dirty, it will not heat uniformly, which in turn won’t help you style your hair. Essentially, you will pass the brush through your hair several times to reach an identical result which results in heat damage.
Product Buildup: Although some will refer to brushes as these "magical revolutionary tools", using styling creams, heat protectants, and everything in between can form a layer on the bristles + heated surface of brush. In time, these can make the brush pull through your hair instead of gliding through it.
Bacteria: Consider this for a minute — your brush is constantly in contact with your hair and scalp. If they are not cleaned, those oils, dead skin cells and hair products can provide an environment for bacteria to grow leading to scalp problems or even breakouts around your hairline.
Extends the Longevity of your Brush: By keeping your thermal brush clean, you can deter any wear-and-tear that would require a new purchase and make sure the B.R.U.S.H 30/40 will last you as long as possible so you can avoid having to buy a B.R.U.S.H 30/40 for years due to your quality results each time.
Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide
Cleaning your B.R.U.S.H 30/40 is easily done and should be performed regularly to ensure you are able to get the best performance out of it. Here’s my go-to method:
1. Turn off the Brush and Cool Down
Safety first! Before cleaning your B.R.U.S.H 30/40 always unplug it. Allow it to cool off entirely when finished using. It can also dirty a hot brush and harm burns.
2. Remove Hair Strands
After the brush itself has cooled down, begin with removing any trapped hairs between the bristles. Lift up with your fingers or a comb. In case of excessive hair accumulation, use a toothbrush or small brush cleaner to reach between the bristles.
3. Prepare a Cleaning Solution
Combine a small amount of gentle shampoo or dish soap with warm water. This would assist within the breakdown of any product buildup in your brush without harmng the bristles or even the heating ingredient.
4. Clean the Bristles
Soak a soft cloth in the solution or dip a soft-bristled toothbrush and gently scrub the brush bristles and base. Do not get the electrical parts wet for B.R.U.S.H 30/40 (ion technology with anti-static function). Concentrate on bristles and the barrel.
5. Wipe Down the Barrel
The B.R.U.S.H 30/40 barrel is infused with Keratin & Argan Oil & Macadamia Oil to help condition and protect your hair while you style. Wipe it down with a soft cloth like an old towel — slightly damp, not wet. This will clear away the product build-up without stripping the oils inside the barrel.
6. Dry the Brush
After cleaning the bristles and barrel, polish the brush with a clean dry cloth. Make sure there are no traces of moisture before reconnecting it. Let it air dry, if necessary.
How to Keep Your B.R.U.S.H 30/40 for a Long Time
The B.R.U.S.H 30/40 is meant to brush the styling tight into functional form but as effortless and efficient as possible. In order to maintain and allow it to give you salon-styled outcomes every single time, be sure you follow these upkeep suggestions:
1. Regular Cleaning
If you use your B.R.U.S.H 30/40 regularly, I suggest cleaning it every month. If you use other styling products, then you may have to wash it more often to avoid product buildup – this includes heat protectants, serums or creams. So, ensure that your brush is clean for easier and quicker styling results.
2. Store It Properly
After using your B.R.U.S.H 30/40, please store it in a protected area so you don’t damage the bristles. But ideally, wrap the brush in its heat protection glove for added safety. And use the 360-degree, 9-foot cable and don’t tie it in knots.
3. Avoid Overheating
The B.R.U.S.H 30/40 has a one heat setting design, that heats up to 356°F (180°C), which makes it fool proof for daily styling without risk of heat damage. That said, do not keep it plugged in if you are not using your device for long periods. This avoids the heating element from becoming too hot and wearing out prematurely.
4. Protect the Bristles
B.R.U.S.H 30/40 bristles are hard-wearing, but a little regular maintenance goes a long way. During styling, avoid pushing down hard on the bristles and avoid using the brush on overly tangled or wet hair that will cause stress to them.
5. Treat Your Hair
The B.R.U.S.H 30/40 is infused with conditioning ingredients such as Keratin, Argan Oil and Macadamia Oil. When the brush heats up, these ingredients are activated to help bring back moisture, shine and strength to your hair. For you to get the most out of these advantages, ensure your hair is tidy as well as completely dry (or towel-dried) prior to utilizing the brush.
Conclusion
