I had been using a $20 detangling brush from Sephora, and it worked good, but the bristles had began falling out and hurting my scalp. I found this beauty of a brush at Marshalls for $7.99, and it looks A LOT like the brush I already had. I wasn't expecting much from it because I've tried soooo many detangling brushes before and none have performed well. But this brush is SUPER awesome at detangling! It actually has 2 types of bristles: 1 for detangling and 1 to extract your hairs natural oils to smooth and add shine. It detangled well and leaves my hair soft and smooth. I honestly l.o.v.e. this brush so much! Less than half the price of other brush and it works much better. Very pleased with it!!
