"I remember this one time I bumped into Brenda in the bathrooms at Downtown Studios, where all the superstars used to rehearse. She said to me in a hoarse voice, 'You sing so well, but you don't comb your hair.'"

In separate responses to fans, Thandiswa admitted that she never used to comb her hair and shared a throwback photo of how it used to look:

"I never used to comb my hair. As long it’s not plaited, it’s not combed! She wanted to let me know that I couldn’t come for her spot without a comb, at least."

Speaking to the founder of Pro Love Salon, Lazaros Sumbane, he told Briefly News about the benefits of not combing your hair:

"Your hair will get more nutrients from the follicles to the scalp, up to the strand. It locks in the natural moisture; everything happens naturally. It reduces breakage, dryness, growth of split ends, and, of course, the pain of combing the hair."
