I moved this strange-looking object three of four times, from random place to random place, before I stopped to examine it.
I officially have absolutely no idea where it came from, but thankfully I didn’t have to wonder what it was.
According to the information printed on the item itself, it’s a Shampoo Massage Brush.
Oooohhhh. OK.
Yeah. That actually doesn’t help at all.
But somehow, even though I’d hesitated to declutter it before because I didn’t know what it was (so who knows if we desperately need it?!?!), knowing what it was also made me briefly wonder if we should keep it.
Briefly.
Because then I realized I’ve made it through the last 42 years using only two, not-even-labeled hands for this purpose. And I’ve survived.
With hair that’s almost always clean.
And then, as I wrote this post, with the thingamajig long gone, I realized that perhaps it’s for massaging shampoo into carpet?
And I felt that pang of Decluttering Regret.
Until I realized that I’ve also made it 42 years without needing a carpet shampoo massaging brush either.
I guess I’ll survive.
Nope, that’s a shampoo brush for hair. I tried one one and ended up with horribly knotted, tangled hair. I think you made the right decision!
So, with my ridiculously curly hair, it’s good I never used it!
Funny thing… my hubby has one that he used all the time, in fact it broke (the ring that goes around the finger) we’ve looked everywhere for one.. Lol.. He just has to use the broken one! I love your posts… Thank you for being REAL!!!! <3
Love it! And I love that he “has to use the broken one” instead of using his fingers! Obviously, it’s good if you need it!
They sell them at beauty supply shops.
I think it’s for shampooing your pets, I have one similar to it. 🙂
Yes! That makes sense!
This cracked me up! Been there, done that–agonizing over whether to keep or toss some thingamabob, then having the lightbulb moment later….and “toss” has always been the right choice!
Haha I also thought for your head and then *i* had decttering regret when you said maybe it was for the carpet.
It’s not even my object!
Hi! New reader here.
DH has one of those – he loves it.
It is definitely for scalp massage.
Also definitely one for the guys, or short haired persons only.
But your guesses made me laugh 🙂
This post made me laugh. Really puts in perspective the things we keep. I keep the hair dryer attachment for curly hair, but I don’t have curly hair. Why do I keep it??
Use it once and you’ll love how it energizes your scalp !!!
What I am wondering is how it got in your path so many times. How did it get into your house?
That’s what I wonder, too!
I love this so much! I tend to keep things like that too, but I’m trying to be better. The problem I run into now is that I want to make sure it’s not some treasure of my husband’s before I toss it. His response is usually “I’m sure we can find some way to use it”. Gah! Any advice on wording the question so he’s not trying to think of some obscure use for it?
Bet it was from your nurst wightmare.
