here’s my small tip of the day
If you want your hair to look its best, without any unwanted oils, dirt, or product residue, consider giving your hairbrush a thorough clean
my flatmates and i were talking about the little adult tips and tricks you learn living with other people, and one thing we were discussing is all the little things you sometimes don’t think about cleaning (but can be really helpful + beneficial to do)!
here’s another one lots of people forget
