I never knew human hair could nearly break a vacuum cleaner.

My vacuum wasn't working anymore. It would turn on and go around but not pick anything up. No clogs but the culprit was my own hair. My own hair had wrapped around the little roller many times holding it in place refusing to turn. I'm surprised I didn't burn it out. I had to cut it free and it works again.

Have to check the beater bar brush pretty often, all sorts of things can wrap around it. I take it off and use a razor blade to cut hair, yarn, dental floss or whatever I’ve accidentally picked up with the vacuum.
my hair falls out like mad, as does my sons ( which was much longer than mine)
It most certainly can break them. I've burnt through many a belt because I didn't cut all the hair out first.

@nonsensiclesnail Mine has been doing it. I think getting sick in August might have triggered it. I also have horizontal ridges on my fingernails which has happened after getting a bad case of the flu
@cherokeepatti I think mine is due to a milk protein sensitivity. Which is weird, I know, but if I have any dairy I get weird sores on my head and my hair falls out. for a long time I didn't make the correlation until I got good about staying away from milk protein, not just milk products.

@nonsensiclesnail I have had hair falling from stress, getting really sick and from being anemic. Hypothyroidism can also do it but I don’t think that’s a problem
I was doing that today too (removing hair off my vacuum roller)

Yep, hair can do that. Also rubber bands, shoe laces, etc ☺️
Never underestimate the strength of human hair...

My girlfriend's hair does the same thing!
