How to clean Babyliss Big Hair

[choppychopster]

I've been using a voluming mousse with my BBH since I got it in January and have noticed that it's getting a bit, erm, skanky. Any tips for cleaning it? I'd normally wash hair brushes with shampoo, but obviously not going to do that what with the electricity and all.

Anyone? am I doomed to a grubby BBH or even worse, flat hair?

Oh I dont use any product when I use mine. Are you sure you need it? its SOO volumising by itself I have to deflate my hair afterwards

I use product on mine, and also a load of hair had got wrapped around it, so I tugged at the hair and pulled a load of the tufty brushes out, so if you do clean it, be careful. I need to buy a new one now.

I have to use product cyb, volumising spray and mousse, as I only have about 67 hairs on my whole head and they need all the help they get.

GetOrfMo1Land - Asda are doing them at £25

I don't use product but I need to take the hair out of the bristles every day, or I don't feel it's working properly.

In your situation choppychopster can't you try a dry scrub with a nailbrush or something - it might get some of the gunk out?

I have approx 3,456,879 hairs on my head and they're all HUGE and COARSE

cyb am intrigued that you get lots of volume with yours,

mine just makes my hair smooth and swishy
no volume achieved at all

volume is my nemesis

aah you've answered my q
mine is fine but lots of it

I get masses of volume but also use to smooth when hair freshly washed as its rough then

Mainly use to smooth then, but will inflate my hair with it a couple of days later when its flattened by sleep

am
I have to wash my hair daily...pita

i wish I had course hair, or at the very least just more of this shitty fine stuff.

Thanks sixstring, will have a look. Good ol' asda.

I also am another daily hair washer. PITA.

Sixstringwidow, is that in store please as it is still at a higher price online? Thanks.

CleopatraAsp. Yes it was in store when I saw it. Only last week too.

Thanks! Think I'll try giving it a dry scrub with a nailbrush. Good to know they're only £25 now in case it all goes horribly wrong.

I find the BBH gives a nice finish, but not tons of volume. I have fine very straight hair. Think that the brush is too big to get close enough to the roots to create real volume.

I use a bit of mouse and I am finding the bristle are getting a hard white coating on them. I too have lost a few clumps of brushes by pulling the hair off too hard. I am thinking that a more gentle dehairing then a hot flannel rubbed up and down on the bristles a couple of times (with the brush not plugged in!) is the way to go.

have you got layers? Tell you hairdresser you have one and get her to give you some if you don't have any. You need layers to get the volume I think!

Slightly off topic - would you recommend the BBH for fine hair for smoothing out bob which gets all wonky when I sleep on it?

Also I think you need shoulder length hair to get the best effect - the diameter is the brush is too big if its shorter..

Some else had said they were £25 in asda and I can only find online for £43.85 from asda. Is it just in store then do you know?

Thanks for that SixStringWidow.
