"I have a weird process for washing my brushes. It’s strange but effective," they said. Before you judged, they wanted you to keep an open mind.
"Washing them in the shower, especially when waiting for conditioners and masks to sink into my hair for five minutes," they said. "Essentially, the hot water, being in a place of cleansing, and having nothing else to do during that time while letting my hair products work, is what has been working for me for months now," they added. NO PAIN PRO TIP They explained how it also prevented unnecessary pain.
"I also hate leaning over the sink to wash brushes for ages," they said. "Feels more mundane and my back ends up hurting."

"It’s odd, but the towel pouch completely covering the brushes really helps to expedite drying time," they added. Those who could relate to the pain of painstakingly cleaning their brushes were no doubt thankful for the tip.
