Ooh, you had one.. get you! Is yours a real bristle one? Maybe it's not too late for me? I haven't looked out for Mason Pearson for many, many years, but remember seeing an ad in the back of Vogue magazine not so long ago. I might Google it just for fun!kerrensimmonds wrote:I've still got my Mason Pearson hairbrush - 51 years on! And I do remember the toothcombs being used - we had to line up at the start of term, while the housemistress dipped the toothcomb in disinfectant and then went through our hair, one by one. Not a pleasant task! But I don't remember anyone being found to be affected by nits/head lice, tho. given the closeness with which we lived it's surprising that I don't ever remember any instance, at any time....
It's funny, I don't remember the toothcomb being used! Surely that sort of inspection is something the dreadful Millie would have loved!
You're right Kerren, nobody was affected now I come to think of it! Perhaps it's because nits (as I learned as a mamma) prefer nicely newly washed hair, and we were allowed washed hair only once a week?
