#47 Grooming...Fifties Style

​Taking the Time

I recently watched Roman Holiday and was intrigued to see how Audrey Hepburn brushed her hair at bedtime.

 

I remember watching my grandmother, "Daw" as she brushed her hair at the dressing table before bed.

Daw's Furniture

​Since Daw's bedroom furniture and brush set now sit in my guest room, I decided I would take some time to do a little old fashioned grooming.  I filed and buffed my nails and then settled down to brush my hair 100 strokes.  It felt odd and silly at first.  Daw's brush is soft and it smells old. But it felt nice after a while and it made me slow down and think about how much I miss my grandmother. 

I'm not really sure about hair health, but I have a feeling the old hair-brushing routine could lead to more restful sleep!  It's at least a lot more calming than checking emails at bedtime!
