Pro Tips: Brush Care

(Japonesque Professional Brush Cleanser)

What to do:

Use brush cleanser in between applications it is a good idea to invest in a brush cleanser that keeps the brush clean and sanitized daily after each use.

Wash your brushes with baby shampoo once a week, organic shampoo would be best, so no harsh chemicals will touch your brush. This goes for both synthetic and natural hair.

How to do it:

Brush cleanser is a temporary fix. Just spray or pour a small amount onto a smooth cloth or paper towel, massage bristles into the solution in a sweeping circular motion. This keeps your brushes clean and ready for the next time you use it.

Washing your brushes will maintain the quality of your brushes a lot longer, I own several brushes that have lasted me many years because of the care I put into them. So when washing don’t just throw the brushes into water on its side, use a container, add warm water, and a drop of shampoo in and soak the brushes face down for a few min’s first. DO NOT let the water drip directly down into the barrel of the brush, over time this will loosen the bristles. When rinsing the shampoo out, sweep the brush in a circular motion under the water flow. When the water from brush turns clear, turn the brush upside down and squeeze the excess water from base to the end of the brush.(When doing this maintain the original brush shape.) Lay the brushes on a towel with the bristles facing down to dry out over night.
