Life Hack: How to clean your hairbrush

Within the hairbrush is a build-up of dead skin cells, lint and oil as well as any product you may be using in your hair, from hairspray and gel to dry shampoo. Using it without regularly cleaning the brush can actually make your freshly washed hair get dirty quicker.
