When hair, dust, and residue from hair products start to build up, the effectiveness of the comb is reduced. In addition, dirt and germs can also be transferred from the comb to the hair that has been cleaned. By cleaning the comb regularly, your hair will still look beautiful and clean.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Cleaning the Comb Using Shampoo
Step 1. Remove any hair caught in the comb
Make sure you remove any hair that has accumulated on the comb during use. This stuck hair becomes a hotbed of germs and dirt that can transfer to the hair when you are styling your hair. Residual hair products can also build up on the comb, so the comb needs to be washed regularly to keep the hair looking clean and beautiful. There are several methods that can be followed to remove or remove hair from the comb:
- Use a pen or pencil to pull the hair from the teeth of the comb.
- Use another comb to lift hair from between the teeth of the comb you want to clean.
- Trim hair with scissors if it gets tangled or difficult to lift from the teeth of the comb.
Step 2. Fill a sink or sink with warm water and a small amount of shampoo or conditioner
Use a clarifying shampoo to remove any styling product that's stuck to the comb. In addition, baby shampoo is also quite effective for cleaning dirty combs. Use a small amount of shampoo or conditioner (about the size of a coin) and mix it with warm water.
Step 3. Soak the comb for about 15-30 minutes
Let the comb soak to smooth the teeth. Soaking the comb can also release dirt, hair, and product residue that sticks to the comb.
Step 4. Brush the comb using a toothbrush to remove dirt
If the comb requires additional cleaning, use a toothbrush to brush the teeth and the surface of the comb. This way, dirt and residue from styling products can be removed more easily. In addition, the cleanliness of the comb is better maintained after washing.
Step 5. Rinse the comb with warm water to remove any remaining shampoo
Thoroughly rinse the comb to remove any remaining shampoo and conditioner from the teeth. Thus, dirt and hair stuck in the comb can be lifted. Make sure you rinse thoroughly so that no residual shampoo and conditioner sticks to the teeth of the comb. Residual cleanser that sticks can make hair greasy when the comb is used again.
Step 6. Dry the comb with a towel
After rinsing, dry the comb with a towel. The remaining water on the comb can be absorbed and the comb teeth will be clean again. If you're using a natural-toothed comb, place the comb over a towel with your teeth facing down to let it air out overnight.
Step 7. Drain the water that collects in the sink and sink and then remove the raised hair
You can drain the water in the sink or sink. You may also need to rinse and clean the sink with a rag to remove any excess dirt that has been lifted from the comb. Hair that accumulates in the sink also needs to be removed. Make sure that large clumps of hair don't get into the sink hole to prevent the drain from clogging.
Method 2 of 3: Getting Rid of Germs on Combs with Vinegar
Step 1. Add vinegar to warm water
As an alternative to cleaning your comb, you can add vinegar instead of shampoo. Pour 120 ml of vinegar into 120 ml of warm water and mix the two ingredients together.
Step 2. Soak the comb for 15-20 minutes
Vinegar acts as a natural disinfectant that helps remove dust, dirt and germs from the comb. Soak the comb in the vinegar-water mixture and allow any dirt and excess styling products to lift off the comb.
Step 3. Rinse the comb thoroughly
After soaking, rinse the comb with warm water. Make sure the vinegar is lifted off the surface and the teeth of the comb.
Step 4. Dry the comb with a towel
Pat the comb with a towel until dry. After washing, the comb will immediately look clean and new. Dry the comb overnight for best results.
Method 3 of 3: Neutralizing Comb Odors with Baking Soda
Step 1. Add baking soda to warm water
A mixture of baking soda and warm water is a great way to clean the comb from dirt and residue from styling products. Pour 1 teaspoon of baking soda into a little warm water, then stir the two ingredients until evenly distributed.
Step 2. Soak the comb for 15-20 minutes
Thus, the baking soda can work and clean the comb from hair loss and residual styling products that have accumulated. Make sure the comb is free of dirt and hair before removing it from the water and baking soda mixture.
Step 3. Dry the comb with a towel
Use a towel to pat the comb dry. The remaining moisture on the handle and the teeth of the comb will be lifted. You can also place the comb on a towel overnight to make sure it is completely dry before using it again.
