Here is a suggest way to clean your brushes after a busy day of clients or at the end of a week (from CHIC STUDIOS curriculum):
Lay a paper towel down.
Apply a small amount of soft soap (or shampoo) to each brush. NOTE: One pump of soap will be enough for 6-10 brushes
Under warm water, circle brush hairs in a figure 8 motion to remove all product. NOTE: Be careful not to get the handle wet, as this will damage the handles over time
Once brushes are clean, take an area of the paper towel and do similar figure 8 motions to remove excess water. Then, place on the side of a counter or table to allow brushes to dry naturally. If possible, leave brushes overnight to completely dry
After the brushes are dry, spray with 70% or higher alcohol and brushes are ready for use.
I just put baby shampoo on a little plate, get my brushes wet, and swirl them around in the shampoo. I rinse them really well and set them to dry overnight :)
