Q: How do you clean a hair brush?
A: Lift the shed hair out with the end of a comb or a pen, then wash the head in warm soapy water, working a little shampoo through the bristles. Rinse, shake out the water and dry bristles-down so nothing sits in the cushion.
Q: How do you use a detangling brush?
A: Start at the ends and work upward in sections rather than pulling from the roots down. That releases knots gradually instead of dragging them tighter.
Q: Do detangling brushes actually work?
A: Yes, because the flexible bristles give way around a knot rather than forcing through it. That is what reduces the pulling and snapping you get from a rigid brush.
