"Pressing a thin, protective sheet over the base of hairbrush bristles catches loose hair for a quick cleanup."

The science

  1. Sheet intercepts shed hair

    A removable sheet at the bristle base can catch some loose hair before it winds around the brush.

  2. Coverage changes brushing

    The sheet may shorten the exposed bristles or interfere with brushing, depending on thickness and fit.

  3. This is maintenance, not washing

    Removing trapped hair does not clean oil or product residue from the brush. Wash only as the brush maker permits.

Do this instead

Skip it on a turnover.
