Oh lawd! Mo has once again taught me to take caring for my hair more seriously. I do wash my combs and brushes with shampoo but never thought about doing the disinfectant part.

[@CMarie-rf7ds]

Never thought i'd see a video like this. I've cleaned my hair tools like this forever. Thanks for sharing.

[@josecaro237]

,,,,,,

[@MrsFooshay]

And please folks...wash your sink out BEFORE using it to clean your tools.

[@bleeka325]

I like to wash mine after. It saves me cleaning it twice. Edit: but I don’t clean my brushes and combs this way

[@Queenalso]

Finally! Someone who talks about the importance of cleaning your hair tools before and after use. While waiting for my hair to continue to deep condition, I ALWAYS clean my tools. I never used anything but shampoo to do so. And yes I clean the sink before and after I do my hair. Thank you for this vid!

[@EL0c1n]

That scalp clarifier is A1 tho ! 👌🏾💯

[@peacefulgardens6521]

Yes, I love it.

[@Amber88d]

My mom taught us to always soak hair tools weekly with shampoo ( or dawn if we ran out) for 20-30mins then clean thoroughly with a brush. I love the smell of hair tools once they’re clean 😍.

[@DeSoAnna]

I always use Dr.Bronners soap to clean my edge control/gel brushes, clips and combs but never thought about my bristle brushes 🤦🏽‍♀️. Thanks for the reminder.

[@SherrellWrites]

The peppermint dr broners would do the trick.

[@JoyDejaKing]

I absolutely love this woman!! She is a wealth of knowledge and always sharing it😍😍

[@marilynmartin3901]

I’m so happy for this video. Since I am the only person using my tools, I was just washing them the with my shampoo. When you know better, you do better. Thank you for the knowledge. Now I know!

[@prissNcurlss]

*looks at my hair tools that haven’t been cleaned more than little shampoo water soak every once in a while* Whew, I need to do better 😅

[@ogLynnloc]

Wooooooowwww! I'm sooo ashamed! Lol i rinse my brushes here and there, but never thought abt disinfecting them. Thanks MO, always so clutch!

[@victorynjesus421]

Absolutely FLOORED. Never ever would have thought to do this.

[@nettieshuler8149]

I've always cleaned my styling tools but never thought to use barbicide at home. Thank you for the informative video.

[@QueenDaLesa]

I immediately cleaned my tools after watching this. Thank you Mo

[@CurlsSoDope]

This is a great informative video. A lot of people don’t even think to clean their hair tools. Thanks Mo

[@reginaj1428]

I've been telling my husband and stepsons about this for a while. Clean your brush and comb!

[@Avalm]

I always wondered what that blue bottle in hair salon was.

[@tikagyrl984]

Thanks for posting this video. I've been cleaning my hair tools wrong for years. I clean a large tub then pour boiling water in it, add several household cleaners & let the tools soak for hours. Then rinse & dry. I'll do better after watching this video.

[@intrinsicallyblessed]

[@R0yalBeauty77]

Wow!!! I usually rinse them with Dr. Bronners, never thought to continue them and using a nail brush. 😉 Now I gotta look over my tools my next hairspa day. Thanks so much!

[@evanbarnett8846]

Girl….you are da bomb 👍😇👋🏿 Very well presented. I would say the BEST presentation I’ve seen. Thank you.

[@paulinedavis8734]

So important to clean properly & disinfect our brushes & combs ❤👍

[@RicaYC71]

Excellent video! You’re a great teacher.

[@aaliyaheman]

See this is why you’re the best! Thank you for your informative videos ❤️

[@PumpernickelCoconut]

THANK YOU for this.. I have been looking this up on and off knowing I need to research and shop for the items to properly do this. Thank you.

[@deemillar8676]

Do the wash and soak. Never used barbicide though as I figured only I use my hair tools. Def given me something to think about

[@kbeam5341]

Thanks for this video. The hair cleaning brush you recommended works amazing.

[@ranezas7092]

Thank you for this video. I need to keep my tools cleaned.

[@GarnetsWeb]

So helpful! Thank you. I was just searching up how to do this a few weeks ago, and the results of those videos didn't look clean enough for me. I'll definitely look into this method.

[@pearllondon6419]

Love your channel! Always great information--- thanks for sharing! Been doing this for a while but i know a lot of people don't! 😒

[@plansdown]

Great information on cleaning and disinfecting your hair tools !

[@kamikoils9336]

This convicted me. I must do better! I have an oooooooooold bristle brush that’s my absolute fav. I can’t bring myself to throw it away, because it was my great aunt Ida’s then became my granny’s. They’ve both since departed this life and it’s a memento of them that I not only cherish, but still use practically everyday.

[@hrhsophiathefirst4060]

Wow that was just so informative. I wash or try to wash with an inexpensive clarifying shampoo every wash day but never thought to disinfect. Great tip!

[@angelaestrada8460]

Why do all of the dope hair influencers all have that one hater that dislikes their videos? What is that?! Thanks for the always helpful tips, Mo!

[@briannacollie2742]

I was thinking about this today. But, I was too lazy to research it lol. Thank you, beautiful!!

[@kam1776]

[@lb4397]

Thanks for always sharing accurate education 🥰

[@CremedelaCreme777]

I have always had issues with my scalp being inflamed but never thought until recently that not properly disinfecting my tools could be the reason why. Wow. Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been watching you for years and appreciate all that you’ve taught us. This literally may be the last breakthrough that I needed to get my scalp issues + shedding under control.

[@Kimberlynicholej]

[@RainingOnU32]

@Sharmaine925. I’ve always cleaned my hair & tools regularly since I was younger. I use a toothbrush to get in the cracks & crevices real good

[@jessicaadams9615]

@Jessbeinreal ....this is awesome...ordering the nail brush and some barbicide now!!

[@mercedes5425]

What if you don’t have barbecide ? Any substitutes?

[@delightfulone87]

Should I be concerened about water getting trapped inside of the brushes?

[@tasharider5213]

Thank you for this video! 🙏

[@animeeditmaster8581]

Love your products by the way!

[@mirandakillgallen93]

Good information 👌🏾

[@nestea1278]

This question isn't really related to the video but can you share the correct process (i.e. what come first, next, last) for deep conditioning or hot oil treatments. Should I hot oil treatment my hair first then wash and condition? Same question for deep conditioning. What are the proper steps for maximum effectiveness? And can I use black castor oil as an hot oil treatment?

[@danitrivedi]

Come with it to close out 2020 ma'am!!🙌🏽

[@SoothingSounds-ph5mm]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@LittleMissCurls82]

Wow 😳 great info!!! 💯

[@daliahsmith721]

Great tips. Thanks so much!!❤

[@toniahobbs5074]

Thank you as always

[@sensimania]

Can I substitute isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol for barbicide?

[@MoKnowsHair]

No. They do not have the same function.

[@nehann2white776]

ig@Nehann2 I have to admit I do not clean my hair tools regularly.🤦🏿‍♀️ Thanks for the reminder. I will do better.

[@larissaspeaight5193]

Very good video!

[@briannav2054]

I’m happy you posted this video. Never really thought about disinfecting my hair tools, I’ve always just made sure the hair and residue was gone. Will be adding these tips to my routine! IG: bree.elena

[@lindahenley3837]

You know us all too well, thrown in a drawer 😆. Thanks for explaining!

[@LVLV-im3ne]

Watching this video inspired me to clean my hair tools today.

[@CristyleBeauty]

@therougebar Love your products! They’ve been working wonders for my curls! I have hair like yours and I’ve been subscribed since the beginning watching and letting you help me manage and style my curls! Keep it up beautiful sista! **Also my entry from the Instagram product contest.

[@BeaunaturelleFeb11]

Hi Mo, can I include my spray bottles in this same regimen please?

[@isolated.quality]

Can barbicide stay in the spray bottle when not in use??

[@MoKnowsHair]

Yes

[@TheEagleslover]

Ok I’m going to go sit over here 👈 and keep quiet 🤐. Love ya Mo.

[@Parker-jl7tj]

I feel educated and attacked 😂😂💖

[@eleniekassahun6508]

@ms_elenie_ous. I've actually done this but no Barbacide.. 😅 usually clean off my clips after I use them.

[@reginacampbell9134]

ginadcampbellYes thank you because I thought I was cleaning my hair tools the right way but guess not but I cleaned them and went and got some new ones thanks for the tip👍

[@lissy2633]

@lissy2lovies....great video thanks for sharing!

[@memorizedvisions]

May I use a disinfectant spray (Lysol) instead of the bardicide?

[@MoKnowsHair]

No... As I said in the beginning, household cleaners are too harsh for your tools and will strip the material and bristles

[@aliciahutchinson6506]

@sciencewoman Thanks for the helpful tips!

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

How do you clean a curling iron with hard plastic bristles?

[@MoniquaWilliams]

Do you still have links to the tools shown in the video? I just tossed my old paddle brush and I really like Denman... Looked in the description and it was the first thing you mentioned 😂🤦🤦

[@dejatorres8002]

@dejavue31 this was highly informative and you clearly and slowly explain it so I can actually follow!

[@CTeamer01]

@CrysTeamer Really good info. Thanks for sharing!

[@RockYourGlory]

@rockyourglory_ This video is very helpful I definitely clean my tools after I wash & style my hair

[@janaeyoung5520]

@moknowshair Does using a clarifying shampoo strip the coconut oil on the Cricket detangler comb?

[@MoKnowsHair]

No.

[@cheresehicks8544]

IG: @Chereseanay

[@crystalmichelle5686]

This is so important! I've always just washed my brushes with shampoo or soap but I scrubbed them by hand and then rinsed. Never thought to soak them or go back and remove buildup. Thanks for the tips! @crystal__michelle.

[@joannadupoux3303]

Which boar brush do you recommend?

[@kiarachontae1]

I swear you do no wrong!! Longtime subscriber!!!! I went crazy about 2 years ago when I saw u in Wendy!!😍😍😍@kiarachontae
