How often do you brush your hair in a day?

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?

I'm AMAZED by the answers on this thread ! Shock

I mean, I only brush mine when I get up / dressed; when I wash it; and commonly if I were getting changed to go out somewhere in the evening, but I am not one of the perfectly groomed in life.

I just assumed that quite a high % of people would regularly 'touch up' their hair (be that with comb or brush) throughout the day.

Once, usually before my shower. I don't think my hair looks better when it's just been brushed so I don't bother during the day.

Other than after washing in the evening, I brush it in the morning. Very very occasionally if it’s super windy, I might need to run a brush over it if I’m going out straight from the office. My hair is long and fine.

Never. I don't own a brush. I use wide tooth comb when it's wet. And wash it every day.

I don't brush my hair ever.

I can't remember the last time I brushed or combed. I don't own a brush or comb.

10 years ago maybe?

My hair is halfway down my back, fine hair but lots of it do it looks thick, very slight wave at the ends. I brush it in the morning when I get up. I might give it a quick tidy once or twice a day. Then 100 strokes with an old fashioned bristle every night before bed.,

Properly: once every two days, after washing it.

I do a slight brush of the root area most mornings. I have thick wavy hair and if I pulled a brush through it when dry it would just look bushy.

wash and comb every day

Mine is long, bra strap length. It only ever gets brushed through when I wash it, so once every 2 - 3 days.
