Bed linen, towels or toothbrushes are changed regularly. But what about the hairbrush? The brush is an important tool for daily hair care and should therefore be maintained and replaced just as regularly as other beauty helpers. We reveal how often you should change your hairbrush.
Changing your hairbrush: how often is it really necessary
Even the search for the right hairbrush can be tedious. Some bristles charge the hair electrically, others are too hard for the scalp. Once you have found the right model, it is difficult to part with it again.
But you should avoid using one and the same hairbrush for several years. Over time, bacteria and germs collect between the bristles that you spread in your hair every day. Also, the effectiveness of your brush decreases over the months as the bristles can dull and bend sideways.
Experts recommend replacing the brush after a year. Some hairdressers recommend using it for as little as six months, but with the right care, you can keep your brush longer.

Maintain your hairbrush regularly: this way it lasts longer
In order to be able to use the brush for as long as possible, you should clean it as often as possible. This keeps the brush fresh and so does your hair.
Plastic brushes can be washed monthly with baking soda, shampoo, or soap. Brushes with a wooden handle and natural materials are maintained with a mild shampoo.
The cleaning product is distributed in the bristles with a dash of water. You can use a toothbrush to clean the gaps even better. The brush is then rinsed thoroughly with water and laid on a towel to dry.
Before use, make sure the hairbrush is completely dry. Combing can become uncomfortable and quickly make the hair greasy.
