Regularly cleaning your beard comb will help prolong its life and improve its performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When cleaning your beard comb, you’ll be removing oil buildup, gunk, debris, dirt, dead skin cells, and more that may be stuck between the teeth of the comb. Additionally, removing knotted or tangled hairs trapped at the bottom of the teeth will allow the comb to reach further into your facial hair and provide a much smoother pass with each stroke of the comb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So today, we’ll provide you with a step-by-step guide on cleaning a beard comb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on the type of comb you own, how you wash the comb will be different. Beard combs can be made of many different materials which include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We discuss all the popular beard comb materials more in-depth<\/a> if you’d like to learn more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When cleaning a beard comb, it is important to cut away any matted or tangled hairs that are trapped within the teeth of the comb. A pair of barber shears are one of the best tools for this, as the sharp point easily cuts through even the most knotted or coarse beard hair. If you don’t have these handy, then a toothpick or any small and pointed object can work. Of course, if the comb teeth width is large, you can simply use your fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most popular comb types for taking care of your beard is the wood comb. These are great for beard grooming, but the materials used to make them are porous and so must be cleaned differently. In addition, they shouldn’t be submerged or soaked in water for an extended time, as this may damage them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow these steps to clean your wooden beard comb:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensure that your sink is clean, and then fill it with warm water. You’ll need this for quickly wetting and rinsing the beard comb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once your sink is full, quickly submerge the comb for only a second or two and then apply a gentle beard shampoo or wash to the teeth of your wooden comb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wet a washcloth in the sink, and then wring any excess water from the cloth. Next, scrub the teeth of the comb until the soap forms a nice, thick lather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t have a washcloth available, an old toothbrush will also do the job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Quickly submerge the comb into the filled sink and shake it underwater to remove any soap residue quickly. You can also just rinse it under running warm water – however, you may find that this exposes the comb to water longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pat dry with a hand towel and then let air dry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You may then want to add some natural oils to the comb to help preserve the wood and keep it from splintering. For example, you can add beard oil, beard balm, or coconut oil to the comb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Generally, cleaning metal, horn, or plastic combs is much simpler. There is less to worry about damaging the comb, and so it is a more straightforward process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow these steps to clean your beard comb:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensure that your sink is clean and fill it with warm water. Then, submerge your comb for approximately 30 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add a gentle beard shampoo or wash to the teeth of your comb. A liquid shampoo often works better here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using a washcloth or any old piece of cloth, scrub the comb until you generate a sudsy lather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Rinse it until all of the suds from the soap are completely gone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pat dry with a hand towel or soft cloth, and then let air dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should clean your beard comb every couple of months. However, it doesn\u2019t need to be done too often, especially if there aren\u2019t any signs of oil build-up, grease, sebum residue, or any collection of dust, skin, or debris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, it’s safe to wash wooden combs. However, repeated washing can cause the comb to splinter or crack. If your comb shows signs of wear, discontinue use. Splintered wood can rip the hair follicle and cause split ends<\/a> or breakage.
