THIS IS GROSS!

Sorry for the caps but I feel strongly about this!

A friend has just basically told the world on facebook that her and her husband (both with waist length hair) share the SAME hairbrush by telling the world her husband asked could he have his own as he has to remove her black coloured toupee from it every time he uses it! This makes me feel sick!! Surely you don;t SHARE a hairbrush?! WTAF! AIBU?

To avoid pubes in the teeth during 69 etc, obviously?

Just a tip from Cosmopolitan C.1996.

You're welcome

If I had roommates, my hairbrush would be locked in my own room.

The idea of my husband or kids using my hairbrush, not such a big deal. We seem to share the same pillow most night (kids invading the bed). I draw the line at toothbrush, and towels (mainly cause it bothers me if my towel gets wet!)

Dawndonnaagain · 18/09/2015 18:56

We have four of us here. We share hairbrushes. I use whichever is to hand, as does everybody else.

WhoTheFIsJeff · 18/09/2015 18:59

My dh never brushes his hair either.

My dc often steal my hairbrush, hope that messes with your mind op!

Kaekae · 18/09/2015 19:00

oh f**k off!

NarcyCow · 18/09/2015 19:21

DH often brushes the cat with our shared hairbrush.

FruSirkaOla · 18/09/2015 19:24

Ah, now, Narcy, our cats have their own hairbrush - but they share it between the two of them. I think we draw the line at sharing hairbrushes with the cats!

Unreasonablebetty · 18/09/2015 19:30

Don't be so stupid.
The hairdresser- you share brushes and combs- if it was unhygienic then health and safety wouldn't allow it.

And why can't people share hairbrushes? - me and Dd have about 6 around the house. They are shared use.

Spartans · 18/09/2015 19:39

Yabu. Surely they also have sex? In which case sharing a hair brush is nothing.

cremeeggboycotter · 18/09/2015 21:02

It's a hairbrush. I've borrowed my husbands toothbrush when desperate and my friends (a couple) share a vibrator.

MissFitt68 · 18/09/2015 21:05

Blimey! Weird thread

SoleBizzzz · 18/09/2015 21:07

YANBU

I used a friends hairbrush once. The next time she brushed her hair with it her head fell off.

msgrinch · 18/09/2015 21:07

What is wrong with this place at the moment? It's full of ridiculous posts. Yes love you're very unreasonable it's not "gross", it's hair not shitty toilet roll.

Summerisle1 · 18/09/2015 21:11

Quite ludicrous! It's only hair. I think I may have heard it all now. And given the weird obsessions about hygiene that stalk MN, that's saying a lot! How on earth, I find myself wondering, do people manage to share bodily fluids while having sex if they can't bring themselves to share hairbrushes?

CatThiefKeith · 18/09/2015 21:11

Dh thought I was weird at the weekend because I wouldn't wear headphones that 1000's of other people had worn. God knows what he would make of you.

I think everyone in our house uses my the same hairbrush

FantasticRik · 18/09/2015 21:15

I had to brush my hair with the cat brush once as mine had disappeared (teenage DD). Was an emergency situation...

FruSirkaOla · 18/09/2015 21:32

Never mind, Rik, just squirt some of that advocate anti-flea stuff on your hair and you'll be fine!

littlefrenchonion · 18/09/2015 21:54

DH and I have been known to share a toothbrush if we've been away and one of us has forgotton to pack one. I don't think that's so terrible - we live together, kiss, sleep together etc. We share a lot of the same germs! I wouldn't even think to question him using my hairbrush.

Are you the kind of person that breaks out in a cold sweat if you forget your hand gel?

Dafspunk · 18/09/2015 21:56

My DP and I share a toothbrush. How d'you like them apples?

cocobean2805 · 18/09/2015 22:52

Me and my Dsis have waist length thick hair. She lives with us half the week and we share hairbrushes. My DH told me he finds a mixture of both our hair everywhere but most memorable was pulling one of my sisters head hairs out of his arse crack. He has previously also found them strangling his nut sack. So there's an over share in a multitude of ways.

*jus to clarify, we are not weird Mormon sister wives, he works nights and I like company.

GreatFuckability · 19/09/2015 02:04

I used a friends hairbrush once. The next time she brushed her hair with it her head fell off.

this has literally made me cry tears of mirth. I woke up my husband who has now stormed off the to the spare room muttering about 'fucking mumsnet' and 'i dunno whats the matter with you'

OP- you are bonkers.

MidniteScribbler · 19/09/2015 09:36

Please don't ever go to a dog show OP. Brush the dog, brush your own hair.

rainpouringrainbows · 19/09/2015 10:02

The hairdresser- you share brushes and combs- if it was unhygienic then health and safety wouldn't allow it

ahem, my hairdresser seem to wash brushes and combs between use, they have a big basket full of them, wrapped in plastic and take a new one for each client. I've never asked though, maybe they just wrap the used one without cleaning them

pictish · 19/09/2015 10:09

Oh OP you silly sausage!

We share hairbrushes too. So far we have all survived the filth.

PHANTOMnamechanger · 19/09/2015 10:10

rain and do they have new scissors every time, or grips, rollers, and straighteners/clippers?

I have never in my 45 years seen a hairdresser use a new brush everytime - I have seen a pot with brushes in antibac solution though, but certainly not cleaned or swapped in between each client.
