I keep hearing people talk about how busy they are, and I thought I’d share one of my time-saving secrets with my blog readers:
Don’t brush your hair. I mean never, except as a gesture of respect right before you go to your hair stylist. Not only is brushing your hair time consuming (the average woman brushes her hair at least twice each day) it is completely unnecessary. The only potential problem is that your hair could start to mat up and be difficult to untangle. I recently had this problem when I returned from two weeks of ice climbing in Ouray, but I discovered that I could quickly take care of it by cutting out all of the offending dreadlocks with a pair of travel scissors.
Give it a go, you might never look back.

Works for me. I didn't brush my hair when I was in Ouray last time either. Headed there tomorrow and planning that same hair care strategy. After all, my hair is under a hat and helmet 50% of the time I'm there!,
Doing It: I'm cutting back on hair brushing 75% [from 100 strokes/day to 25]. –Liked your Verticulture article!!– : )
YAY! I gave up brushing my hair when I went to Alaska. Now I saturate my hair with conditioner when I come back from a long trip and it seems to work out most of the mats, *most* I’ll add the travel scissors too now. Less painful.
