How To Clean Tangle Teezer

A Tangle Teezer is a special kind of hairbrush that makes it much simpler to manage thick, curly hair. Your brush may, after some time has passed, develop stray hairs and debris buildup in the spaces in between the bristles. Remove the hair from the bristles of the brush with your fingers once every week or so, and then scrub them with a toothbrush. Your brush will continue to be in pristine condition if you do it this manner.

If you own a Tangle Teezer hairbrush, you’ve probably pondered at some point how to properly clean it. It is a very good question; if you want to make sure that our favorite brush lasts for a longer period of time and that your hair continues to appear fresh, it is imperative that you clean it on a regular basis. Cleaning your make-up brushes will keep your skin glowing, and cleaning your hair brushes will keep your hair healthy, happy, and looking good. In the same way, cleaning your make-up brushes will keep your skin gleaming. If you use your brush on a daily basis, ultimately there will be product buildup on it, and there will be a chance of bacteria. Neither of these things should be introduced into your hair care routine.

Therefore, in this section, we will walk you through the process of cleaning your Tangle Teezer goods step by step, complete with images along the way.

The Dirty Tangle Teezer

The Tangle Teezer (you can get one here!)* has been one of my go-to hair tools for quite some time, as I said in the post that I wrote about how I take care of my long hair. To this day, I cannot imagine my life without it because it makes rapid work of untangling my hair. However, even after only a few uses, it immediately begins to take on the appearance of this:

It should come as no surprise that using THAT to brush your hair is not in the least bit enticing. However, cleaning it is not a simple task in any way. Unless, that is, you find nothing more than a few stray hairs in it. If you have thick hair like I do, you will also find those teeny small dust bundles in there. And such individuals simply do not wish to give up their newly discovered home!

Cleaning The Tangle Teezer

How exactly does one clean a tangle teezer, then? (Or how to clean a detangling brush, as this procedure is effective for cleaning any of them!)

To tell you the truth, it took me some time to think of a reliable method for cleaning it. At one point, I seriously considered leaving it behind altogether and not using it again. The Tangle Teezer gave the impression that it would just make my hair more tangled. But then I came upon the best approach for me to take in order to

a) not devote an excessive amount of time to cleaning it, and

b) yet arrive at an extremely gratifying outcome

The method is so simple that it’s almost embarrassing to try it out! The only things that are required to clean the Tangle Teezer are some laundry detergent, water, a dish brush, a few minutes of my time, and some patience.

How I Wash The Tangle Teezer

Therefore, the following is the most effective method for cleaning a tangle teezer:

After combining the detergent with the water, I then let the Tangle Teezer soak in the solution for a few minutes before removing it. (It is a good idea to get rid of the hair that is easily possible to be removed first, of course!)

During the time that the mixture is working, I am free to attend to any other business. (Just be sure not to use the Tangle Teezer to brush my hair, of course.) Additionally, all you have to do at this point is wait for a few minutes. After that, you can pull it out of the dish, and using your dish brush, you can easily remove the remaining gunk. Alternately, an outdated toothbrush. Basically, you may use any other brush you can get your hands on. That brings us to the end! You currently possess:

A Clean Tangle Teezer

Naturally, I felt it was necessary to include some before and after shots of the Tangle Teezer in this article. After I’ve cleaned it using my technique, it came out looking like this. Almost seems like you just bought it, doesn’t it? Absolutely spotless, and there is no more dust… on objects.

To tell you the truth, there was a moment when I seriously considered buying a new one rather than going through the bother of cleaning the old one. Additionally, they now provide those incredibly hip brushes… But I digress.

Water Inside Your Tangle Teezer

Before you use your Tangle Teezer again, it is in your best interest to let it air dry for a short while beforehand.

While I’m cleaning it, water seems to find its way inside occasionally. Perhaps it’s just my particular model. How exactly does one remove water from a tangle teezer?

Just give it a few good shakes while you’re standing over the tub. Problem fixed. In addition, putting a very small amount of water in your Tangle Teezer will not cause any damage to your hair in any way.

Is A Tangle Teezer Good For Your Hair Though?

In spite of the fact that your Tangle Teezer brush ought to be spotless at this point, the thought of employing it once more might be giving you second thoughts. As a result of the fact that utilizing a Tangle Teezer appears to have a strong correlation with the development of split ends for a lot of people.

The Tangle Teezer Material

In response to this, I would like to offer my two cents. To begin, I am of the opinion that any brush or comb made of wood is the one that is both good for your hair and the best option overall. Plastic is used in the construction of a Tangle Teezer on the other hand. Therefore, the answer is that there is a larger risk of it causing damage to your hair and split ends.

How Do You Handle Your Tangle Teezer?

However, and this is a very key point, everything hinges on how you choose to deal with it as well. When dealing with thick hair that is prone to becoming tangled, the Tangle Teezer is an excellent brush to use. If it makes your procedure of detangling your hair and your hair care routine go more quickly, you shouldn’t get rid of it just yet. It is possible to apply it in a way that will not cause damage to your hair while still achieving the desired effect.

How To Use Your Tangle Teezer Carefully

There are just a few things that you need to be aware of before using your Tangle Teezer so that you do not wind up with split ends.

• If your hair is damp, you shouldn’t use the Tangle Teezer on it. Hair that is wet is highly vulnerable to being damaged. Make untangling your hair before washing it a routine part of your routine.
• Beginning at the ends, slowly work your way to the top to untangle the hair.
• Before beginning the detangling process, it is best to distribute some oil through the lengths and ends of your hair. It will make the procedure go more smoothly and also protect your hair at the same time because well-hydrated hair is less likely to break than dry hair.

Please let me know if you find that this information is useful. Or if you have discovered a method that is even simpler to use for cleaning your Tangle Teezer. (Is there any way that could work?) In any case, have pleasure in using your freshly cleaned Tangle Teezer!
