1 Use a comb to remove any lint and hair from the bottom of the hairbrush, by running it in between the bristles and ending in an upward motion. Remove as much as possible using this method before moving on.

2 Put a stopper in your bathroom sink and fill it about halfway with hot water. Add 2 to 3 tsp. of your shampoo and 1/4 cup of white vinegar. Swish with your hands to combine.

3 Put the hairbrush in the solution, and allow it to soak for 15 to 20 minutes. This will soften any lint that's left behind and make it easier to remove.

4 Remove the hairbrush from the water and dry it on a towel. Use a wide-tooth comb to remove any leftover lint or debris by pulling it down each row of bristles.

5 Scrub the hairbrush with a clean nail brush, while holding it over this sink and rinse with warm, running water.

6 Lay the brush on a clean, dry towel, and allow it to dry thoroughly before using again. Repeat this treatment any time hairspray residue, hair or lint need to be removed from your hair brush.
