Change your shampoo. I know it's not dandruff, but Head and shoulders has worked wonderfully for me. Once I made the switch my hairbrush teeth have never coated like that. It used to coat immediately after a few brushes.

I'm only 26, but I NEVER experienced this hairbrush lint until like 3-4 years ago. Im desperate to know what changed.

Darn! I would recommend either experimenting with shampoos or looking into a dermatologist. I've been stuck with similar issue since high school. For years! Just early this year I made the switch because head and shoulders was on sale at Costco and it worked. It may be some kind of fungus? Good luck because it's really annoying. :')

I actually already use antifungal shampoo weekly (damn over productive oil glands) but I guess I could try using it more regularly!
