down before cleaning since this will involve you touching the brush and using a
damp cloth on it.

by removing all the strands of hair stuck to it. Make sure you get every strand
– this might take a while so you may need some patience.
Wipe off
Once the bristles are
cleared, the next step is to use a damp cloth to wipe the entire brush. Include
the bristles and make sure that you get the areas between the bristles. If you
rotating hot air brush comes with a removable filter, you should detach it and
wipe that clean as well.
Use a cleaning solution

who uses a lot of products on your hair, you will need a specialized cleaning
solution for your rotating hot air brush. The products you use can leave traces
on the brush and buildup over time. The buildup can affect your rotating hot
air brush’s performance. You will be able to find these cleaners online or from
your local salons. It has to be specialized since these products are made to
remove the buildup of hair products – something a damp cloth cannot do. When
your rotating hot air brush is free from that, it will perform better too.
Make it a habit

the key to making your rotating hot air brush last longer. You can easily make
a habit out of it if you make it part of your hair care routine. When cleaning
your brush becomes a habit, it is a lot easier to remember and maintain. How
often should you do this? Ideally, the clearing of the bristles and wiping
should be done every time you use it. If you need a specialized cleaning
solution, you should use the solution on your rotating hot air brush once a
week or every two weeks, depending on how much hair products you use.
If you fail to
maintain your rotating hot air brush or you barely clean it, you are not only
degrading its value and performance but you are also putting your hair in
danger. Heat damage increases with product buildup and if the brush is dirty
because the tool has to work more to release the heat. This could burn your
hair. There is also the chance that the product will emit less heat so you do
not get your desired hairstyle.

good condition. As long as you are consistent and you clean it regularly, your
