cepillado
Explanation:
Entiendo que se refiere a cepillarse el pelo.

Lo que no me gusta nada en español es lo de "50 cepilladas", optaría por "roturas provocadas por el cepillado diario" o algo del estilo.

agree  JohnMcDove: Lo difícil parece ser incluir los 50 cepillazos... que parecen “latigazos”, 50 cepilladas que parecen muy mal dadas... o 50 cepilladuras, que parecerían virutas... Quizá: roturas causadas por usar el cepillo[en el cabello] hasta 50 veces seguidas.
