1. Clean Your Hair Brushes

Cleaning your hair brushes doesn’t just mean regularly removing the hair out of the bristles. If you feel like your hair is getting greasy quickly, it may be because your hair brushes aren’t quite clean enough.

You should also wash your hair brushes every week with a cleansing shampoo. This will make sure that you’re not brushing dirt and grease back into your hair whenever you use your hair brush! However, if you use a wooden or paddle brush, check the manufacturer’s guidelines on washing as you don’t want to ruin the wood effect.

2. Wipe Clean Your Hair Straighteners

A build up of dirt, serums and sprays can occur on curlers, hair straighteners and curling wands due to any styling products you may use. Therefore, you should clean them regularly to get rid of this build up.

Three important rules when cleaning any electrical styling tools:

Wait until the electrical tool is cool before cleaning.

Unplug the electrical tool before cleaning.

NEVER submerge any electrical tool in water.

You should clean your styling tools by using a damp cloth to wipe clean the styling plates, and make sure they are completely dry before using them again.

3.  Check Your Hairdryer Filter

If your hairdryer isn’t working as well as it used to, this may be because the hairdryer filter is blocked. Whether it’s working well or not, it is worth checking the hairdryer filter every so often as if this is blocked it can really affect how your hairdryer performs.

First of all, you should check the manufacturer’s instructions and make sure that your dyer is unplugged. Then, you should twist or unclip the filter depending on what filter your hairdryer has. Do NOT force the filter open, as you do not want to break it.

To clean the filter, wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove any dirt and dust. Make sure your hairdryer is completely dry before trying to use it again.

4. Recycle Out Of Date Hair Products

Take care of your hair and the planet while you’re at it! If your shampoos and conditioners are out of date, then make sure to recycle them. Hair sprays are less likely to expire as quickly, but make sure to check any cream or liquid-based products you have that are in bottles or tubs.

The best thing about Spring cleaning is that you can restock with shiny, new products once you’ve got rid of the expired old stuff.

5.  Try A Silk Pillowcase 

It’s so important to wash and change your pillowcase regularly, as grease and bacteria can build up on this surface and transfer onto your hair and skin. If you want to go above and beyond for your skin and hair, then you could invest in a silk pillowcase. This is great for both your hair and skin, and dermatologists even say that sleeping on this silky surface will make your skin less prone to wrinkles!
