Review (5/5): Using a boar bristle brush requires a little research and practice to get it right.
I've never used a boar bristle brush before. At first I was slightly dismayed at how short the bristles are. I didn't think they would get through my thickish wavy hair...and I was right. But I did a little research and found that they aren't supposed to. This type of brush is not intended for detangling. For that I use a very wide-toothed comb. What this brush is for is to distribute oils from the scalp down the length of the hair. This it does extremely well. The best way do accomplish this with my hair is to separate it into sections, and just brush one section at a time. I can't get over how fantastic my hair feels after brushing in the evening and all the next day. I am attempting to get away from shampooing my hair daily which has left my hair in worse and worse shape the longer it gets. So the brush gets five stars. And so does the service. The brush arrived well packaged and in good shape in a much shorter time than I expected.
