If you break a hairbrush in half it is still good

If you break the handle off a hairbrush or any product with a handle, the best thing to do is put the head or top piece back where you found it because breaking something in half does not necessarily render the product useless. It is always nice to have a handle, but in many cultures a handle is considered a luxury. You can still pick the item up and use it, and that is what is important. Often, this makes the product more fun to use. Unless it is a frying pan.
