Hey there! First time posting on this sub, and I hope it's okay that I'm posting about something not strictly makeup related. I've looked here for a lot of inspiration over the course of setting up my vanity, and wasn't sure where else to ask this question. Show I recently got one of those Revlon volumizer heated hair brush things, and I've been trying to figure out some way to store it, either on my vanity desk or something wall mounted. Does anyone have any heated brushes like this and have any ideas or product recommendations for storage? I was looking at hair tool storage on Amazon, and they have a seemingly infinite amount of options, all of which seem to be for flat irons and regular dryers. Edit: Thanks so much everyone who commented! I have a lot of good ideas to check out now. Revlon’s hair dryer brush has become something of a game changer. This versatile styling tool dries, smooths, volumizes, and straightens your hair, and it’s incredibly easy to use! But how exactly are you supposed to clean it?

Cleaning your Revlon hair dryer brush (i.e., Revlon hot brush) is a necessary part of regular maintenance. In addition to making your dryer brush look better, cleaning your tool often helps lengthen its lifespan. It also keeps you and your hair safe from excess damage. Want to learn how to do it? We’ll break things down step by step below. How to Clean the Revlon One-Step Volumizer Hair Dryer Gather Your SuppliesThe first step to cleaning your Revlon hair dryer brush is grabbing everything you’re going to need. Make sure you gather the following materials before you start to clean your brush.
Remove the HairRevlon hair brushes have tough, rigid bristles that can trap shed hair. Before you clean your brush, try to remove as much of the trapped hair as you can. While you’ll be able to pull some of them out with your fingers, you may need to cut the more stubborn strands with a pair of scissors. Using scissors is often easiest when you have long tangled hair stuck between the bristles. Be careful not to bend the bristles out of shape by pulling too hard, and don’t worry if you can’t get all of the hair out. This step is just about removing what you can. Some ladies have success by starting with a vacuum cleaner to remove hair clumps. Prepare Your Cleaning SolutionPour warm or hot water into your bowl until it’s about halfway full. Then, add a few drops of dish soap or your favorite deep cleaning shampoo. Mix your solution until it starts to bubble up. Scrub Your Blow Dryer BrushTo prevent the likelihood of an electrical shock, double-check to make sure your hair dryer brush isn’t plugged in. Once you’re certain it’s safe, dip the barrel of your brush into the soapy water and swish it around. During this step, be careful not to wet the cord or electrical components hidden in the base. After your brush is saturated, use a toothbrush to scrub the barrel and bristles. Using firm but gentle pressure, rub your brush with small circular movements. Pay extra attention to the areas surrounding the base of the bristles, as that’s where dust and grime can get stuck. Take your time and ensure each part of your dryer brush is pristine. Once satisfied, rinse the barrel of your Revlon hair dryer brush with fresh water. Wipe Down Your BrushIf you can, use a microfiber towel to wipe your brush dry. Microfiber towels don’t generate as much lint as regular towels and can help dry your brush in a fraction of the time. Keep wiping until you’ve removed all visible soap residue and leftover grime. You also want to remove as much of the water as possible. That way, none of it drips into the motor. Wait for Your Brush to DryOnce your brush is squeaky clean, the only thing left is to wait for it to dry. Place your brush in an upright position and prop it up so it can stand on its own. Try not to use it until it has a chance to dry completely, just in case some of the water accidentally leaks into the electrical components.
