You can also use scissors to cut up the clumps. It helps a lot. Remove what you can then put your brush in hot water. It really helps getting the oils off the bristles 😊

The problem with the wet brush and other, they have little knobs at the end trapping the dust bunnies until even trying to hand pick them off is practically impossible

Honestly thank God for videos like these. I've learned how to shave properly, how to shampoo my hair, brush my hair, clean my makeup brushes and now how to clean my hair brush. KZfaq and Wikipedia are the moms I never had lol

Also take the hairs out after every use. It helps against buildup and is cleaner in general.

Omg I thought I was the only one who had this problem I’ve asked so many people and no one seems to know what the heck I’m talking about!!! I feel so validated lol

Love the name dust bunnies 😂 Crazy that I saw this today as I was looking at my brush yesterday and thinking that those bunnies need to go on my brush 😂

I actually do this with just a normal comb, and it seems to get rid of the dust pretty well

Unfortunately the problem with the Wet brush or any with the little knobby ends is you can’t get the fluff off!! It’s virtually impossible 😮

I use a tangle teaser, the one without the handle, and it cleans up so easy with dish soap and a toothbrush. And since it has no ball tip points, dust, oil and those fuzzies dont happen on it either.

EASIER- Use one brush to clean the other! Scrub them together on bristle side.

I have the tool she’s using and it doesn’t work all that well on the Wet Brush. The little balls at the tips prevent the collect lint from being pulled off the bristles. No matter how hard I go at my wet brush with that tool plus a tooth brush, I always have the finish the job by hand, extracting the lint with my nails.

I use a fine tooth comb to remove the hair, then wash with one pump dawn diluted in a full sink of water. Works like a charm!

I use the tangle teezer brush because it never has this problem. There aren’t little plastic caps on the bristles so it’s super easy to clean.

Wow I haven't seen those things in my brush for ages, ever since I was a minor and lived at the family home and we shared a brush lol, nowadays I wash my hair way too often and clean or wash my brush almost daily.

One tip - Change from plastic brushes to bamboo ones. I used to clean the hair build up off of my plastic brushes bi weekly (I have very long thick hair). I've had a bamboo brush for a year now and only cleaned it once since. I 100% notice the difference.

Would love to see a short of how to shampoo brushes :)

Omg okay people no please just use soap and water after that spray with alcohol and you can use a rat tail comb to remove hair. It’s best to do it every time after you brush your hair and clean every 5-6 weeks

tysmm for reminding me to clean my brushes!!!

Denture brush cleans it best!! Soak for 10-24hours and scrub like mad when it's still wet then let dry for 24 to! I have 2 brushes for this reason one is clean when the other is getting cleaned 😊

How do you recommend to clean boar bristle brushes without losing their sparkle?

I have had one of those tools for YEARS and I love it. I use Dawn to wash my hair brushes and some of my makeup brushes because it breaks down the oils. And before people say it is too harsh, they use Dawn to wash baby ducks caught in an oil spill. That is where I got the idea.

U can use a tail comb as well , then steep it in hot soapy water they jist slide off after that

A cheap nail brush with a handle works great along with warm water and Dawn soap soak.

I'm such a fanatic when it comes to washing my brushes!! I remove all the hair after every use and clean them at least once a week when soaking it in shampoo so that never happens to me!!!

I just use a a multitude of combs. I don’t use brushes for this exact reason,too damn difficult to clean. Same reason why I stopped using beauty blenders lol.

This is precisely why I pull my hair off the brush after every wash so as to prevent it from getting to the point of dust and dirt matted in. The point of no return, essentially

I clean my brushes in the shower every week while I have a deep conditioning mask in. It’s easy and quick if you do it every week.

If anyone has one of those scalp scrubbing tools those work wonders on the brush too, I use it to get all the fluffy stuff off my brush weekly and it works wonders. Then I just both tools afterwards.

I use a rat tale comb to get mine out before washing / soaking my brush in water. It gets most of it out, I even do it each time I’m brushing my hair so when I do a full on clean of my brush it doesn’t take long to get all the gunk out. Hope this helps 😊

YES, omg I've been wondering what they were and now I can sleep soundly at night 😅

Its also good to clean the brush with something that will actually kill any fungus or bacteria left behind. Its a good 'just in case' measure and helps clear away any tough stuff like silicones, oils, etc.

Not sure how you feel about about the in rush- but you can pretty much avoid those nasty dust bunnies and junk- you just have to pull the hair out. It is really gentle in my hair and takes knots out really gently.

Journeyman hairdresser here - I’d recommend dish soap instead of shampoo!

Clarifying suave shampoo and a denture brush is magic

I have the same brush cleaner. It came in a multipack of different styles on Amazon for like $10. It’s amazing!!

I pick through it with the pointy end of a rattail comb, then I scrub the hair out with the comb, smother the brush with soap/shampoo and then surprisingly I use my scalp massager to scrub in to the bristles and it gets it really clean!!

The olivia garden brush cleaner is amazing too!

My grandmother used a stiff rat tail comb for this purpose. Then she soaked the brushes and combs in warm dish soapy water for a couple hours. I still clean my brushes and combs this way.

Video just reminded me to go clean my brush Ty!!

I actually use dish soap because I feel shampoo is a bit too weak for my brushes

I recommend sticking it in water and just move it around really fast, especially up and down - the water takes it off and up the spikes so it’s easy to take out :)

scrub your tangle teaser brush against your wet brush (when wet and with some shampoo) it works!

I’m about to blow your mind. You don’t need any tools. 1. Take out the excess hair by hand. Just what you can grab. 2. A bowl of hot water (I use hot sink water and pour a BIT of boiling water from the kettle) and blue dawn 3. Let the brushes soak until cool enough to handle by hand. 4. scrub the two brushes together vigorously. Each brush cleans the other better than any tool I’ve ever used. No more lint bunnies.

I tend to remove all hair straight after each use. That reduces the "dust bunnies" & let's the brush breath.😊

whenever I get a dirty brush, I take some shampoo and a toothbrush that I use just for cleaning brushes and basically scrub away and it cleans the brush perfectly every time 👍🏻

I love my denture cleaner from Walgreens for that exact purpose. Works very well and is cheap😁💗💗

I thought they were spider eggs! I almost jumped 😂

I literally just saw a video of someone pouring Elmer’s glue all over the brush to be able to take out all the gunk 😳

I think it’s dust bunnies from the towel you put on your hair after a shower. It gets more fuzzies than you think

Warm water and baking soda seems to work well for me. It softens all the hair and makes it easier to remove. I tend to take off some of the bigger pieces and then soak it for 10 minutes before scrubbing it a bit with my hands and rinsing it well. Gets my brush completely clean with no residue

Highly recommend the detangling brush from Kiss Colors and Hair if that type of brush works for you. The brush can be taken apart to pull out the rows of bristles and clean all the hair, lint and hair products. Put it back together and it's as if it's brand new. Takes like 5 mins if even that!

I bought that exact brush cleaner years ago from Sally Beauty. I loved it bc it made all my brushes look new again and wouldn't damage them.

I use a brush cleaner like that as well as once in a while when it's bad I soak it in a diluted white vinegar solution. It really helps strip all the oils off and helps remove the build up, for smell purposes. Sometimes if there is a vinegar smell left, I take a little soap and wash it.

Have been waiting for some one else besides my best friend to talk about this shared experience 😌

Pulling out the hair from the brush after each use will help a lot. Very few dust bunnies, they can pulled out with something pointy & sharp.

I use a reuseable straw brush that you get with reuseable straws.

OMG thank you! Finally an easy way to do this.

My mom used to use another hairbrush and a comb to clean her brushes.

I've been rubbing 2 brushes together at the same time 😂

I use the Equate brand anti dandruff shampoo and a nail cleaning brush. I wash them every week during my "everything shower" while I let my hair mask cook lol

If there’s any left after you soak and scrub your brush, get some tweezers and pull them off sort of in a sideways motion while it’s still wet! Helps me!

Is the ouai leave in conditioner good?

I have that same exact brush cleaner. Game changer ❤

My shower head has a setting that you can use to essentially power wash your shower walls. It works like a charm on my brushes 😂

Use a comb to remove access hair on it before you start scrubbing. We use cheap nail brushes with shampoos or antibacterial soap to scrub everything off in the salon 😊

I also picked up a cheap dencher brush and use that to scrub my brush with shampoo after removing all the hair and dust bunnies.

When I had those brushes when I was younger I loved to pluck the dust bunnies out. It was very therapeutic

I also use hot water and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to clean my brush after all the hair and dust is removed! It's really good for clarifying the scalp when used afterward so it's not harmful to hair and gives it a good clean

‼️I clean my brush with dish soap and scrub it EVERYTIME i wash my hair (once a week). Its just so gross to me to run a brush with oil and hair products through my clean hair! I also use a wide tooth plastic comb and not a brush. I have pin straight hair and let me tell you its so much healthier and better for any and all hair types to not use a brush. Its just too easy to use too much force and rip your hair by accident when using a brush. Its also easier to clean and quicker. My hair has grown so much since ive stopped using a brush four years ago. My hair is hip length now. Highly recommend everyone give up their brush and switch to a comb at least temporarily just to see for yourself the difference it makes.

What is this brush Abbs?

Putting the brush that you're using to clean with sideways, so that the prongs/teeth bring the dust bunnies up along the shaft as close to the top as you can really helps too

1/2 cup ammonia to 2 cups of warm water. Soak your combs and brushes for 10 minutes. Use a comb to go through the brush. Use the brush to clean the comb. Rinse with warm water. Clean every month. No need to purchase anything special.

What is the brush you're using to clean?

I use a rat tail comb and pick through each space. It is quick and works pretty well too. If there are any fuzzy left over I use a dense brush and “brush” through the brush lol.

I have the same thing to clean my brush but it takes forever and never gets them completely out.

I use brushes for brows and just brush in between comb teeth. I add soap, shampoo or shower gel. It is really effective and also doesn't damage and bend the teeth of my hairbrush)

super easy, after removing the hair, i use a toothbrush with some dish soap to scrub :)

Does she ever post links to her product recommendations?

Personally I use dawn dish soap and scrub with a washcloth between the lines vertically/horizontally. Rinse well. Then smack my brush bristles down and pick off whatever is left. Takes like 5 mins. Leave to dry bristles down. Rinse with witch hazel if you have dandruff or allergies (I have cats I'm allergic to) I do this maybe once a month. *I also pull all hairs out of the brush after each use.

THANK YOU, this has been driving me crazy!!! Ive only ever had this happen with my wet brush, i love the brush, i think its just the shape of the bristles. I just use tweezers to pluck the little dust bunnies.

I soak my makeup and hairbrushes in dawn dish soap. Everything comes off beautifully. ❤

Soak your brush in water with fabric softener. After anout 20 mins, use another brush or tool to scrub the bristles. The softener makes all the bits soft and they come off much more easy.

from my experience that's mostly fibers coming off of your blanket getting stuck in your hair and onto the brush. i once freaked out because they were green but than i realised it's because of my new bright green blanket

To everyone complaining about the Wetbrush bristle knobs: pull the clumps to the sides of the bristle, not straight up over the top. If they aren’t too compacted, I find pulling them apart from the side breaks up the clumps around each bristle a lot better. Good luck hope this helps ❤

I use a stiff bristle brush with a little water and shampoo to scrub my other brushes.

I have a toothbrush I keep specifically for cleaning my hair brushes. I remove the hair with a rat tail comb, squeeze a little shampoo onto the toothbrush, run my tap on the hottest it will go and give it a scrub and rinse. I set them to dry on a microfibre cloth. I also scrub my rat tail comb and wide tooth comb. I do this roughly every 4 days because that's how often I wash my hair and I don't want to use dirty tools on clean hair, but in between whenever I use my brush I quickly and roughly remove trapped hair. Maybe that would be overkill for you or maybe that will work well for you as it does for me. But yeah that's how I do it.

Where can you buy this??

This is super helpful! I haven’t seen yet in your shorts though I may have missed it. Do we wash our hair brushes like our hair or another way?

I have a 2nd brush, and i brush them against each other. Job done.

I remove hair with my hand and then scrub with a toothbrush that is only for the hairbrush. It works great for my brushes cuz they have segments that get dandruff attached to them.

The dust bunnies are towel lint from the towel you use to help dry your hair after it's washed. If you use a mostly dust free microfiber towel to dry your hair, you can avoid most of this lint problem.

OMG THANK YOU❤

what hair color do u ask for at salon?

Shampoo it thoroughly and tap it against the side of the wash basin (bristle side hitting the basin). Do it repeatedly, and all these suckers should pop right off. Plus, it helps to squeeze the water out of the cushion, which is important as the inside can get mouldy if not dried properly. Set it upside down on a windowsill by an open window for a day to get 100% dry.

i use toothbrush to clean my brushs and every time I wash my hair I clean my brushs with it

For this reason tangle teezer will always be number 1

Nice to know. I have long hair and use a medium comb, works fine on my hair and I don't have to worry about lint and hair on the brush.

Lint feom your terry cloth towels. It is reduced if you use other things to dry your hair that don't shed lint so much. Also, of you remove the hair after ever brush by sliding your finger up the back of the brush from handle to tip, then grabbing the hair in one handful and pulling it off, you pull off most of the build up just by removing it every time.

remove hair with whatever tool works for you, I use a rattail comb. Then I use a nailbrush to dry brush it to get rid of anything that the first treatment didn't. You can also use a papertowel and rubb that against your brush to removed the bunnies. It's usefull inbetween cleanings. Then soak in shampoo + warm water, brush with nailbrush to get it really clean. Rinse and let dry. Like brand new.

I had the same problem with my other brushes such as the wet brush but the tangle teezer brush I have had for almost a year and I have never had problems with it collecting dust like the wet brush did.
