Place your thumb on the dots, then gently pull the head off in a slight arc motion (don’t snap it directly backwards). 2. Apply fresh Brush Head: Push on your new brush head until it’s flush with the handle and you hear a dull click. Press the ""switch on"" button to test, then you’re set. Happy brushing!
