Brushes need to comb clean

Dear Heloise:What is the proper way to clean hair combs and brushes? Katherine in Houston Katherine, it’s pretty easy! Comb the brushes thoroughly to remove loose hairs, then soak the brushes and combs in a solution of 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of shampoo per cup of water. Let them soak for 30 to 60 minutes, then rinse well in hot water. Baking soda is a workhorse around the house.
