I recently discovered an incredibly useful tip that I never thought could be so effective: applying toothpaste to a comb can solve a nagging problem I’ve had for a long time.
Combs are essential tools for our daily hair care and styling routines. However, over time, dirt and grime can build up in the teeth of the comb, not only making it look unsightly but also potentially affecting hair health. While many people try to clean their combs with dish soap, the results are often unsatisfactory, leaving the comb with residual oil and dirt.
Interestingly, the toothpaste we use every day can be an excellent solution to this problem. Besides keeping our teeth clean, toothpaste can also effectively clean combs. Let’s explore how to clean combs with toothpaste!
First, you’ll need a dirty comb and some toothpaste. Take a sufficient amount of toothpaste and apply it evenly to the comb; you don’t need too much, just enough to coat the teeth lightly. Then, gently massage the toothpaste into the comb with your fingers, allowing it to get into the small spaces between the teeth to effectively remove the built-up dirt.
Next, hold the comb and simply run it through your hair back and forth for about 2-3 minutes. During this process, the abrasive properties of the toothpaste will directly target the dirt on the comb’s surface, breaking it down and cleaning it away. Once done, rinse the comb under clean water, and you’ll notice that most of the dirt has been effectively removed.
For a deeper clean, you can use a small brush to gently scrub the spaces between the teeth of the comb. The bristles will help dislodge any remaining dirt in the narrow gaps. Rinse the comb with clean water again, and you’ll be left with a shiny, oil-free comb. With just toothpaste, you’ve successfully “revived” your comb to look as good as new!
This method is simple, easy to perform, and delivers remarkable cleaning results. From now on, you can use a clean comb every day to take care of your hair in the best possible way. This handy tip will hopefully help everyone address the issue of keeping their combs clean at home.
