How to Clean Your Brushes

1. Mix olive oil and dishwashing detergent
2. Dip your brush in the mixture. Wet your brush first if it’s really dirty. Use the palm of your hand and mix the brush around. Use cool running water as you do this. Continue this step until no more product is coming off your brush. Be gentle.
3. Use any hair conditioner and cover the bristles. Let it sit for a few minutes. Rinse off the brush and squeeze out any water
4. Lay your brushes to dry. Shape them the way they are supposed to be so that they don’t dry funny.

*Do not use warm water or you could unglue the top of the brush from the base
