I am really into do it yourself projects related to beauty like making my own brush cleansers, saving containers to put stuff in, making face masks, the foil method for removing glitter, etc. Well I decided my hairbrush was disgusting with all the lint , dead skin, and hair on it and something needed to be done. I googled how to remove lint from hairbrush and read about using elmer's glue to remove the lint and such. I thought this would be easy peasy and went for it.

So putting the glue on was a mess( I didnt take into consideration the brush was domed and the glue would run all over). The glue dried (took a long time) and left a really thin layer. I started peeling the corners and it looked like it would come off easily. I was wrong. I could only get little pieces at a time and I am still not done taking it off. While it did remove some of the lint that wouldn't come off by hand, it still left a huge mess on my brush because I can't get all the glue.

DIY projects are fun but this one was not worthwhile to me. My brush is not ruined per say but I liked it much better before this project. I think I should have tried another method before trying this one out. This was my favorite hair brush too but I guess I've learned not to rush into trying to fix items that aren't really broken.
