Confession

Confession: I have stopped brushing my hair after showering. My decision, far from arbitrary, is based on the following:

1. Every grandmother will tell you that brushing wet hair yanks out more hair, and I am obsessed with my head hair count. Currently it is at 129,343. I count daily, before going to bed.
2. Brushing my hair after showering at the gym either takes away precious 2 minutes out of my work day, or decreases the length of my shower by 2 minutes.
3. I look the same regardless of whether or not I have brushed my hair after a shower. In fact my mother often notes that I look as if I just got out of bed when it is evening, and I haven’t even napped for at least 12 hours.

You may worry that my head will soon provide a home for small furry or feathered animals. Don’t. My hair is not that long yet. I do still brush my hair every weekday morning on my way to the gym, in order to speed up tying my hair into a pony tail.
