    I have horrific memories of when I was growing up and my mother use to be pulling lumps outa me trying to brush my hair. But nowadays the only ones I see with a brush are women or hair dressers. I havent brushed my hair in about 15 years. I dont even own a hairbrush or comb.

    Does anyone still brush their hair now or is it all army style hair cuts and styling putty ?

    I run a comb through it sometimes but most of the times I get caught up in my good looks while at the mirror that I forget to comb my hair

    I do.

    But I have long hair. I didn't brush it as often when it was shorter.

    I'm not scruffy really, I give it a bit of a prod and a poke when I get up to tidy it but I dont brush it and havent for a very long time. I dont see the point when your hands are like built in combs.

    I have really annoying wavy/curly hair so a couple of years ago I bought a comb and I received such a piss-taking I never used it. Same goes for the time a girl I lived with straightened my hair for the craic :pac:. Never again, just keep it shortish and use a nice tough styling putty. As I get older it seems more manageable too, much better! :D

    I brush my hair all the time. Nothing womanly about having decent looking hair.

    I once knew a fella who scorned the use of a hairbrush, declaring it effeminate and whimsical. The same man swore that the character of a person could be judged by how shiny their boots were, and was less than appreciative of my suggestion that whoever taught him as much was only interested in getting him to bend over. Ah the military.

    Yeah I brush my hair, what a question.

    Nobody said it was womanly :confused:

    Think you might have some underlying emotional issues relating to that, ammm sparklepants.

    Nobody in the thread, but you can be sure there are people reading this thread now *ominous music* who are thinking that.

    No, but in all seriousness, most people will know people who'd have such an attitude. The appropriate nomenclature for such people is moron.

    I doubt anyone who would honesty think brushing your hair was womanly would they ? Plucking eyebrows or shaving your chest maybe but brushing your hair ?

    My motto has always been "if it needs to be brushed, it needs to be cut". Served me well-> never used any gel or anything in my whole life, been getting "the usual" haircut with my brother and father for the last 12/3 years. Although if there is a lump of hair sticking up I'll pat it down with my hand. :pac:

    Depends on the circumstances. 9/10, I don't tend to brush it. I will make it neat and tidy depending on the occasion.
    I'd imagine it will all depend on whether you are trying to pull off a particular style.

    This.

    As long as all the hair on the top of my head is going in remotely the same direction, I'm happy.

    Short and tidy doesnay need maintenance and thatz how I keep the fur on my head.

    I couldnay be bothered with hair that needs styling - putting on pants everyday is bother enough.
