The process of removing accumulated debris, oils, and product buildup from a natural-fiber hair implement is a necessary part of its maintenance. For example, routinely performing this activity on a brush with densely packed bristles helps prolong its lifespan and ensures optimal performance.
Proper maintenance of these implements provides numerous advantages, including improved hygiene and reduced transfer of impurities back onto the hair. Historically, these brushes have been valued for their ability to distribute natural oils, and cleansing them regularly is essential to preserve this function. This contributes to healthier hair and scalp conditions.
