How to Clean Your Hair Tools Without Damaging Them

As much as we love our hair tools, cleaning them is often neglected. Yet, proper maintenance is key to keeping your tools in top condition and your hair looking great. In this post, we'll dive into how you can clean your hair tools safely without damaging them, ensuring that your hot air brush and curling brush continue to perform like new.

💡 Why It's Important to Clean Your Hair Tools

Your hair tools accumulate buildup from hair products, oils, and even dust over time. If not cleaned regularly, this buildup can affect performance, leading to uneven styling and even damage to your hair. Not only that, but dirty tools can harbor bacteria, which is a risk for your scalp and skin.

🔧 The Best Way to Clean Your Hair Tools

Cleaning your hair tools is a simple process, but it's important to do it correctly to avoid causing any damage. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to clean your brush sets, hot air brushes, and other tools:

1. Unplug Your Tools

Before you start cleaning, make sure your hair tools are unplugged and completely cool to the touch. Safety should always come first!

2. Clean the Brushes

For brush heads, gently remove any hair strands using a comb or your fingers. Once you’ve removed the hair, clean the bristles with a soft cloth or a brush cleaning tool. For stubborn buildup, you can use a mild soap and warm water. Just make sure the brush heads don't get too wet. It’s best to wipe them down rather than submerging them.

3. Wipe Down the Hot Air Brush or Curler

For tools like the KentDO™ LISAPRO 3-in-1 Hot Air Brush, wipe down the body with a damp cloth. Never submerge the device in water. Pay special attention to the vents where buildup can accumulate. A cotton swab or soft brush is ideal for reaching small areas.

4. Deep Clean the Heating Elements

If your hair tool has heating elements, use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe them down. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could cause the heating element to degrade. A gentle spray of cleaning solution on a cloth is often enough.

5. Let Your Tools Dry

After cleaning, make sure your tools are completely dry before you plug them back in. It’s important to let them air dry rather than using a towel to wipe them down.
