Don’t you just hate it when you see all that yucky hair and dirt in your hairbrushes? Do you ever wonder how your hair tools get so dirty?
Like skin, hair tends to gather oil and dirt. This is normal because the oil glands on your scalp produce sebum (oil) which protects your hair. But sometimes the oil glands can get a bit crazy! When there’s too much production of oil, it builds up and causes dirt to accumulate throughout the day.
The hair products that you use every day also add to the grime accumulating on your scalp and in your hair. Products like hair mousse, spray, or dry shampoos leave residue on your hair and some of that transfers to your hair tools when you use them. It’s important to clean the tools just as much you clean your hair. Below are some simple steps to properly clean your hair tools.
Hair Brushes
What you’ll need: A teaser comb, small bowl, spare toothbrush, antibacterial liquid soap or cleansing shampoo
Step 1: Get rid of the hairs that are stuck on the bristles using the tail part of the teaser comb. Step 2: Using a small bowl or just your sink, fill it up with water and soak your hairbrushes either in antibacterial liquid soap or cleansing shampoo.
Step 3: After soaking for a while, take a spare toothbrush to scrub the dirt stuck on your hairbrush. Rinse the brushes after and voilà - clean as new again!
Blow Dryers
What you’ll need: a spare toothbrush, some Q-tips
Step 1: This step entirely depends on the brand you use, but some blow dryers have back covers that you can remove. If there isn’t one, check the manual of your dryer for instructions. Step 2: Clean the filter using Q-tips soaked with soapy water so you can really remove even the very tiny dirt and dust particles. And then rinse the filer well with warm water.
Step 3: Make sure to dry your dryer using a clean cloth. Added bonus - you’ll notice a big difference in the airflow of your hair dryer after that!
Flat Irons and Curling Irons
What you’ll need: A clean cloth, rubbing alcohol or a professional hair tool spray cleaner Step 1: For safety reasons, make sure that your flatiron and curling iron are not plugged in, and wait until the hair tools are completely cool before cleaning. Pick up a cloth and dampen it with water or your professional cleaner spray if you have it. Step 2: Start rubbing the surfaces of the hair tools to effectively remove the dirt and residue of hair products. You can also dampen a cloth with some rubbing alcohol in case water isn’t doing the job.
Step 3: Dry the hair tools completely before using them.
Ideally, you should clean hairbrushes every two to three weeks, while hot hair tools should be cleaned at least once a month. Then again, it depends on how often you use them and how much product you use on your hair. The more product you use, the more dirt buildup you will have.
If you love the voluminous, bouncy look of a professional blowout but don’t have the time (or patience) to master a round brush and blow dryer combo, there’s an easier way! A 35 mm infrared curling iron is the perfect tool to recreate the look of a salon blowout with minimal effort and maximum results.
Why a 35mm Curling Iron is Perfect for Blowout Styles
Unlike smaller curling irons that create tight curls, a 35mm (1.5-inch) barrel delivers soft, voluminous waves that mimic the effect of a professional blowout. Here’s why it’s the ultimate hack for achieving that fresh-from-the-salon style:
● Creates Big, Bouncy Waves: The large barrel size forms loose, flowing curls that resemble a blowout.
● Adds Volume and Movement: Enhances body at the roots while keeping ends polished.
● Smooths and Shines: Helps seal the cuticle for a sleek, frizz-free finish.
● Effortless Styling: No need to juggle a round brush and blow dryer—just curl, tousle, and go!
How to Get the Perfect Blowout Look with a Curling Iron
Follow these simple steps to achieve that salon-quality bounce with a 38mm curling iron:
Prep Your Hair: Start with clean, dry hair and apply a heat protectant to prevent damage.
Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections to ensure even styling.
Curl Away from the Face: Wrap sections of hair around the barrel, holding for a few seconds before releasing.
Leave the Ends Out: To mimic a natural blowout, avoid curling the very ends of your hair.
Loosen the Waves: Gently brush through your curls with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers for a soft, airy finish.
Lock in the Look: Finish with a lightweight hairspray or texturizing spray to enhance volume and hold.

As the new year begins, it’s the perfect time to set fresh goals—not just for fitness and wellness, but for your hair as well! If you’re looking to achieve healthier, shinier, and stronger hair in 2024, switching to infrared styling tools could be the game-changing resolution you need.
Why Traditional Styling Tools Can Hold You Back
Many traditional styling tools rely on excessive heat that can cause damage over time. Whether it’s a conventional blow dryer, curling iron, or flat iron, these tools can lead to:
● Moisture Loss: High temperatures strip hair of essential hydration, resulting in dryness and brittleness.
● Heat Damage: Uneven heat distribution creates hot spots that weaken the hair shaft, causing split ends and breakage.
● Frizz and Dullness: Without proper technology, traditional tools can leave hair looking lifeless and difficult to manage.
The Infrared Advantage
Infrared heat technology is designed to style hair from the inside out, ensuring a gentler and more effective approach to heat styling. Key benefits include:
● Even Heat Distribution: Prevents hot spots and reduces overall damage.
● Enhanced Moisture Retention: Helps seal in hydration for softer, shinier locks.
● Reduced Styling Time: Infrared tools work efficiently, minimizing prolonged heat exposure.
● Frizz Reduction: Smoother hair cuticles mean less static and a sleek, polished look.

Choosing the right blow dryer can make all the difference in your hair’s health and appearance. While traditional blow dryers have been a staple in styling routines for years, infrared blow dryers like SUTRA's offer an advanced technology that takes hair care to the next level. So, what sets them apart, and which one is the better choice for your hair? Let’s break it down.
The Downside of Regular Blow Dryers
Regular blow dryers use direct heat to evaporate moisture from the hair, often exposing it to high temperatures that can cause damage over time. Here’s why they may not be the best option:
● Uneven Heat Distribution: Traditional dryers tend to create hot spots, leading to dryness and breakage.
● Excessive Heat Exposure: Prolonged use can weaken the hair shaft, making it brittle and more susceptible to split ends.
● Loss of Moisture: High temperatures strip away natural moisture, resulting in frizz and dull-looking hair.
Why Infrared Blow Dryers Are a Game Changer
Infrared blow dryers use infrared light to heat the hair from the inside out, offering a gentler and more efficient drying experience. This advanced technology provides several key benefits:
● Even, Gentle Heat: Infrared heat penetrates the hair shaft, reducing surface damage while drying hair more quickly.
● Moisture Retention: Unlike traditional dryers, infrared dryers help lock in natural hydration, keeping hair smooth and shiny.
● Reduced Heat Damage: By using lower temperatures to dry hair efficiently, infrared technology minimizes long-term damage.
● Faster Drying Time: Infrared heat speeds up the drying process, reducing overall heat exposure and making styling quicker and easier.
Which One Should You Choose?
If you’re looking to maintain healthy, vibrant hair, an infrared blow dryer is the way to go. It offers a safer, more effective way to dry and style your hair while reducing damage and improving moisture retention. Regular blow dryers may still get the job done, but at the cost of your hair’s long-term health.
