How often should I clean my hair tool filter?
If your hair tool has a filter, to keep it in the best condition, be sure to clean it regularly, especially if you notice any visible dust build-up. Failure to regularly clean your hair tool filter can potentially compromise its performance.
How often should you be replacing your hair tools?
In terms of how often you should replace your hair tools, this is very dependent on a number of factors like if it is broken or underperforming. For people who are avid users of hair tools, the lifespan of the product will likely be less.
In order to maximise the lifespan of your hair tools, ensure the cord is not knotted, twisted or wrapped around any nearby objects while you use your hair tools and be sure to store safely in a dry location away from water and heat sources.
