How often do you brush your hair in a day?

[BarryWhiteIsMyBrother]

I have long hair (down to my lower back) and yesterday I realised that until going to bed last night, I had only brushed it once, while getting dressed (I WFH) in the morning. Hair of course gets dirty, like everything else, and I usually brush it a few times a day (mostly when I go for a pee) as that also makes it more presentable if I need to pop out.

So that got me wondering what others do - how often do you brush your hair? And is it long or short?

@BarryWhiteIsMyBrother usually brush mine in the morning and then nothing through the day My hair is chest length and is the longest it's been! I only wash it once every one/two weeks and it's in the best condition it's ever been in

I only brush mine when I wash it. Other than that, I just run my fingers through it to help give it texture. I don't like the ironed straight look.

I have a long bob, an inch or two past my collar bone, and wash it every 3 or 4 days.

Once. If I remember

[PineappleUpsideDownCake]

Maybe once?

Didn't realise people would repeatedly brush in the day...

[Snackasaurus]

@mayflowerapplepie mine is usually if I can find my hair brush 😂

[Kidneybingo]

Once in the morning. Maybe once occasionally in the evening.

[Ginfilledcats]

Long thick curly hair here. Once.

Brushing it more than once doesn't clean it though op?

[Terralee]

I never brush my hair... it's very fine & curly so I use a wide tooth comb only when it gets tangled.

[CatRamsey]

Mine is still in the same ponytail it was in two weeks ago....

[AfterSchoolWorry]

Once.

[pompey38]

Only brush before and after a wash, so around 3 times a week

[MoonBaby1]

I only brush my hair after a shower. It takes a good ten minutes and I often need a break.

If I brushed it dry I’d look like I had a massive mane!

[ShortSilence]

I brush it when wet after washing, and then maybe again to tidy the windblownness if I’ve been outside (my hair is fine and gets tangled in the slightest breeze).

[ThatDamnScientist]

When I wash my hair, which isn't daily (or even every other day ).

[PoppityBoo]

I have thick curly hair, if I brush it I look like Hagrid from Harry Potter so sometimes it’s every other day to keep the curl!

[EggysMom]

Some of the answers on here really surprise me - don't you brush it in the morning to get rid of the bed-head look? I have to brush to smooth my hair down after it's all muzzled by the pillow! I brush twice a day, after bed and before bed; plus occasionally an extra time if I'm going out somewhere.

Mornings. And then if I can be arsed I brush it out and plait it for night. It's waist length and straight.

[AuntieDolly]

Thankfully I have short hair and don’t even own a brush. I wash it every other day and blow it back into shape with the hairdryer on the other day. Takes about 15 seconds

[WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants]

It's long. It's now lockdown long (and needs a good cut!!), it's incredibly fine.

I brush it in the morning (with a new tangle teaser brush fir fine hair, it's brilliant) and before I wash it (whatever time/day that is). Also quite often niw I put it up in a pony tail when I'm driving as with the windows open it's getting in a right mess if not, so if I think about it before leaving the house I'll do that with the brush.

But it's so fine & much thinner these days that it looks better if I don't brush it! It goes a bit fluffy if I do.

Oh the joys of age & health issues.

[Ginfordinner]

When I had long hair I only brudhed it once a day.

Why do you feel the need to keep brushing it?

[Drbrowns]

I only comb my hair when I wash it so every 3-4 days.

[Oliversmumsarmy]

I will only brush mine occasionally during the week.
It would probably look better if I did brush it more but it just seems to fall in place. Dds hair is the same. I think it is a genetic thing

[LizzieMacQueen]

My hair is chin, bob length. I'll brush in the morning and give it a longer brush before bed. In between, well maybe if I'm going out (same as teeth).

[spoonrace]

Superfine, shoulder length, comb it in the morning and that's it. Can't imagine repeatedly brushing/combing it.

[TotalBitch]

Mine is chin length and wavy-curly. I brush it first thing and then don't do it again all day.
