Can You Use Regular Shampoo on Makeup Brushes? Here's What to Know

Yes, regular shampoo works well for cleaning makeup brushes. Reasons:

1. Cleansing power: Surfactants remove dirt, oil, makeup residue.
2. Gentle formula: pH-balanced for hair/scalp, safe for brush fibers.
3. Easy rinse: No residue left behind.
4. Cost-effective: Cheaper than specialized cleaners.

How to Clean

1. Dampen bristles (avoid soaking ferrule).
2. Apply shampoo to palm/pad.
3. Gently massage bristles base to tip.
4. Rinse until water runs clear.
5. Reshape and lay flat to dry.

Clean weekly or biweekly to prevent bacterial buildup.
