Woman shares disgusting discovery lurking in her hairbrush

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A woman on TikTok has shared her disgusting discovery she made when she decided to wash her hair brushes for the first time, and has warned others not to make the same mistake. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The woman shared the video of her deciding to wash her brushes after seeing a salon owner cleanse her hair tools in order to prevent your hair from getting greasy. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She placed her hair brush in her bathroom sink with hot water and shampoo for a deep clean. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After leaving the brushes for an hour, the woman returned to the bathroom to find the water had gone brown. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Oh my god, that’s disgusting,” she exclaimed. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"Ladies, don't forget to wash your hairbrushes. I didn't even know that was a thing. Look at the state of that."</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The video has been viewed over 3.8 million times, with her followers also sharing their shock at the results. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"I'm buying a new hair brush and starting from scratch," one person commented.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"Goes and washes hair brushes now," another said.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While most people were shocked at the idea, some were surprised that this didn’t seem to be a well known fact. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"This confuses me that people didn't know this. It's the same as washing your makeup brushes," one person pointed out.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The salon owner who posted the original video said that a dirty hairbrush could be the reason people suffer from greasy hair. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you use your brush, the grease and oil from your hair builds up and sits in your brush until it’s next use, and ends up getting transferred back to your hair. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, go and wash your hair brushes and see if you can see the difference in your hair. </span></p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Image credits: TikTok @everythingtidy</span></em></p>
