What is an important maintenance practice for brushes and combs?

Regular cleaning with soap and water and disinfection is crucial for maintaining brushes and combs. This practice helps to remove hair, product buildup, and bacteria that can accumulate over time. By keeping these tools clean, you ensure that they perform effectively and safely, promoting hygiene and reducing the risk of scalp infections or product contamination. Disinfecting tools also extends their lifespan and ensures they remain in optimal condition for use in hair services.

Using them only with one type of product, combing them dry before every use, or replacing them every month do not address the fundamental need for cleanliness, which is essential for both the practitioner and the client's health and satisfaction.
