The Hairbrush

I know it's a little late to be posting and that who in the world would want to read my trials and tribulations regarding my hairbrush but here it is. I have naturally curly hair. Long Naturally Curly Hair. The BAIN of my existence. Why you ask? Well, think of it like this. I can only brush my hair when it's wet. If I brush it while it is try then either 1.) I break the brush in two. I have seen many the demise of hair brushes in my life or 2.) I look like a french poodle with big hair.

So tonight I take my shower like normal, make sure I use my lovely Body Dew I bought from Pure Romance, made extra special attention to washing my hair..I even repeated. But low and behold when I exit the shower my hair brush has gone missing. I can't find it. I checked everywhere in the bathroom, in my bedroom. I even looked in the kitchen just in case it decided it got thirsty and went to join the water bottles on the counter. No such luck.

So I sat on the edge of my finger brushing my hair. You lose 100 strands a day from your head, it's a fact. If you have a head of hair like mine, triple that. As I work my fingers through the knots (no matter how much conditioner I use there will ALWAYS be knots) and I'm thinking, who was the first woman who demanded a hairbrush. What woman was sitting there trying to pull the knots out of her hair and demanded her husband come up with something, ANYTHING to make this more easy for her. Or maybe she did it herself. She was so upset over having a huge knot right in the back of her scalp that she couldn't reach that she went in search of anything to get rid of it.

I did a little internet searching (Internet is amazing) and I came up with zilch. Nada. There is nothing telling of us of who the miraculous woman was. It all seems a little sketchy but it seems to date pre-Jesus. Meaning that way before Jesus was born someone had a hairbrush. According to what I found, probably made of bore bristles.

So I pay homage to that far away lady. Thank you lady for having the guts and the enterprise to create the hairbrush. I mean, if you were alive today and you saw all the different kinds of brushes you would be astounded. (Could you see her face if she saw the one that spins?)

Goodnight everyone.
