Hair Accessories need to be cleaned 3-4 times a year depending on how often you wear them. They get “gunked” up with oils from your hair and from hair treatment products like hairspray. That’s not to mention the day-to-day germs that they come in contact with. Keeping them clean keeps your hair and scalp clean…and extends the life of the accessory.
When we’re talking about hair accessories think about all of those hair clips, barrettes, headbands, decorative bobby pins, combs, snaps and other items. You can include hair brushes and combs too! Now that the summer season is over…it’s a great time to clean them.

You can clean your hair accessories one of two different ways:
1. You can wipe them down with a wet cotton cloth and a little bit of liquid soap or wipe them down with pre-moistened cleaning wipes. This is a great method for items that are delicate or contain fabric. You never want to soak those in water, so spot-cleaning is best.
2. You can fill up your bathroom sink with liquid soap and water. Place them into the water and let them soak for 30-60 minutes. Rinse with clean water. If you have any stubborn oil or dirt on the item…try to lightly scrub it away with an old toothbrush. Don’t scrub too hard as you don’t want to cause scratches or damage to the item.
After cleaning…lay them all out in a single layer on a cotton towel to air dry. You want them to dry within 1 hour (for metal accessories) or within 3 hours for plastic. Never let water sit on metal for more than an hour…as it can cause damage.
Cleaning Hair Brushes and Combs
I like to clean all of our hair brushes and combs on a monthly basis. They get gunked up quickly and should be cleaned often. Fill up your bathroom sink with warm soapy water (I use a liquid antibacterial soap) and let them soak for 1-2 hours. Rinse with clean water. Lay them out on a cotton towel to air dry. If any of your combs or brushes are missing bristles or teeth…it’s time to replace them with new ones.

I’ve been purchasing the Hicober Microfiber Hair Towels from Amazon. They come in various colors and are sold in 3 per pack. They’re easy to use and will securely hold your wet hair in place on top of your head. They’re soft, fluffy, thick and ultra-absorbent, plus moisture wicking.
They’re the perfect size and weight to use at home, at the gym, at the beach, in a dorm or while traveling. Machine wash and dry using low heat. You don’t want to use liquid fabric softener or dryer sheets with microfiber products. I like to just machine wash mine and hang them up to air dry. They don’t take a long time to dry…much less time than a traditional bath towel.
These towels don’t fade in color and none of mine have gotten fuzz balls (pills) after laundering. They still look nice after 3 months of use! Besides using them to help dry your hair…use them to secure your hair (wet or dry) while washing your face, applying skincare products or putting on your make-up. They’re great at keeping the hair off your face!
You’ll find hundreds of hair towels and hair turbans out in the retail marketplace. Some of them are very expensive and don’t do a great job at all. While others are dirt-cheap and fall apart within weeks. I’m really pleased with the quality of the Hicober Microfiber Hair Towels that I purchased from Amazon.
