Wash occasionally in lukewarm water with a little shampoo, rinse, and leave it to dry bristles down. Do not soak the handle, and do not leave the brush on a hot surface or clamped inside a styling iron. Replace it when bristles start to bend or break: a deformed bristle drags the section instead of guiding it.
