How often do we care for our hair and scalp, ignoring the important element of care - a hairbrush and a comb?
The facts are that few people wash and sanitize them regularly. 😱

➡️Below you can read how to clean your hairbrush and comb and why you should do it.
👉 The hair brush / comb should be cleaned once a week. Regularly washing and disinfecting your combing utensils will not only protect your scalp from bacteria, but also make your hair look more beautiful.
❓Did you know that your daily hairbrush contains more bacteria than your sink drain? 😱 Sounds unbelievable, but it is true.
👉The brush collects not only hair, but also dust, remnants of styling cosmetics, sebum and cuticle. Such a large habitat of bacteria can cause various skin diseases, including allergies, mycoses, seborrheic dermatitis or dandruff.
👉 Brushing your hair with a dirty brush instead of improving its condition makes it greasy faster and starts looking stale.

❓ So how do you clean your hair brush / comb? It depends on the material from which they are made:
💦 1. Begin by removing any remaining hair. The easiest way to do this is when it's wet. How to do it? A narrow, dense comb or a toothpick will work best.
💦 2. A plastic brush / comb - wash with a used toothbrush with a previously prepared solution: a glass of warm water, a teaspoon of shampoo and a teaspoon of baking soda.
💦 3. If you have a natural bristle brush, use your fingers to wash the bristles with shampoo - be careful not to wet the wooden handle, because the wood does not like water. Dry the wood with a towel (you can protect the wood by rubbing it with olive oil or avocado oil), dry the bristles with a dryer.
💦 4. Remember to disinfect them regularly as the brush / comb is home to bacteria, dust and mites.
To do this, prepare:
🌱a) hydrogen peroxide - soak in the solution for 15 minutes, then rinse with water or
🌱b) water with salicylic alcohol (instruction as above) or
🌱c) vinegar (as above) or
🌱d) tea oil. This method does not require soaking the brush in water, so I recommend it to disinfect a brush with natural bristles. Add a few drops of tea oil to a glass with warm water. Pour the prepared mixture into an atomizer - you can use e.g. a flower sprinkler . Spray the brush and let it dry. Done. Bacteria don't stand a chance!

I had a long break from uploading anything on this page, but I'm back!

This time I want to tell you about the habits almost all of us have, that can be harmful to your hair

1. Proper washing - do not use hot water as this will open the scales of your hair and increase production the sebum. Instead use cool water. Wash your hair twice! 💆‍♀️

2. Always use conditioner - this will provide nutrition and close the hair scale. This will help to keep the moisture inside the hair. Conditioners are also helping with the untangling. 🛁

3. Never comb your hair wet, use delicate materials for drying - wet hair is much more prone to breakage and damage. Styling brushes are delicate enough to be used.🧖‍♀️

4. For the same reason it's not advised to go sleep with wet hair. Additionally you will collect all the dust and particles from your pillow on your hair. 🌪
5. Use cool air for drying - hot air is damaging hair scales and causing the moisture to escape from within the hair strand
6. Use thermal protection - even just for using dryer, use proper thermal protecting products 💨

7. Never style wet hair with hot tools - always make sure your hair is fully dry and use proper thermal protection!🔥

8. Always comb your hair from the ends up to the roots 👩‍🦰

9. Clean and disinfect your hair tools regularly- they collect skin scales, sebum, bacteria, dust. You don't want to reintroduce all that on your hair and scalp! As we are usually keeping the brushes in bathroom, where there is a lot of moisture the bacteria and mould have perfect environment to grow! ❗️

10. Observe your hair needs and adjust products you are using - your hair is changing. This can be due to your diet, health, lifestyle, hair treatments. Also if you are using proper products the condition of your hair will improve. What was great and needed for your hair 3 months ago, might not be appropriate anymore. 🌸

11. ALWAYS USE GOOD QUALITY PRODUCTS! Avoid silicones, SLS/SLES, parabens, waxes. Check the ingredients of the products you are using. 🍀
