Why Your Brush Head Keeps Falling Off

An incorrect connector, incomplete seating or damaged shaft can cause a loose head.

What matters for this question

Stop using a head that detaches during brushing. Check whether it fully clicked or seated according to the manual.
If the replacement is correct but still loose, inspect for a damaged connector on the head or handle and contact the maker.

How to apply it

An incorrect head, damaged sleeve or residue on the shaft can all prevent a secure seat. Do not continue brushing with a loose head. Compare the printed model and head package first, then follow the maker’s troubleshooting sequence or request support.
