Works!
I kept hearing about the original, but could not find it anywhere in a color I wanted (black or red).  Saw this as a well reviewed alternative, and figured I'd give it a try.  First of all, if you have are used to finger detangling or using a large tooth comb like I did, this is revolutionary.  All the shed hair is gone.  At first it is a little disheartening, but the ease with which that brush burns through tangles and curly hair...amazing.  I use mine either with a pre-poo concoction before I conditioner wash or during my first conditioner wash.  Pre-COVID I had a strict weekly hair washing routine, but that has somewhat fallen by the wayside, and I now definitely have more shed hair between stress and not weekly washing.  But...this gets it all out, no matter what.  No random hairs still dangling after the wash, after the conditioner, as you move to preparing to style.  Gone. I feel like it gets all the shed hair out, allowing me to actually clean and condition my hair even more directly.  By the time I get to moisturizing and styling, there is no hair all over my shirt or skin.  I also use the brush to make sure that my products are fully distributed, root to tip.  The only "downside" is the back bar that I think is supposed to give it structure.  It attaches easily, but sometimes by the time I get the entire head detangled, its come off.  I don't have a problem with the brush alone, and for my bra strap length, 3b/3c hair, we aren't getting caught or any snatching.  Get the brush. My sister stole my second one, and uses it for basic detangling, product distribution and re-twisting her 3c/4a/4b hair midweek. Get the brush.
