Best brush ever!
This is the brush I've used for 50 years (and my mother used before me, but she preferred the acrylic). I love the shape and materials. I'll admit that it often loses bristles within the first year or two, which is disappointing, they didn't used to do that. But it works beautifully. As the bristles are natural, if kept cleaned, it naturally cleans the hair, which they don't tend to mention. The half round is perfect for long hair, although I'm not sure it's an advantage with shorter hair, never having had that since I was a child.<br />The Victorian &#34;brush your hair 100 strokes every day&#34; is an old technique for cleaning hair without shampoo. If you wash the natural bristle brush with soap before each session, it distributes and removes oils and dust. I have personally experimented and went 6 months with no shampoo, and gorgeous hair. If you DON'T wash the brush every day, the bristles will still distribute the oil evenly, but not clean it. This is somewhat pointless in a world where we shower every day, but one can imagine in a world with no central heating and heating wash water on the stove, it would have been invaluable. I still find it great for camping!
