Review (5/5): I use it on slightly damp hair 4b/4c coarse thick strands to detangle and gently dry after shampooing.
I love it. Natural 4b/c hair, thick, coarse, tends to be very dry and tangled. I don't use much conditioner - hairdressing - due to scalp irritation. I only use shea butter. THIS BRUSH MAKES IT SO EASY TO DETANGLE MY HAIR. I have chronic fatigue and shampooing is usually such a hassle especially having to comb out and braid hair after a wash. (exhausting process)
I use the brush when my hair is damp but not wet, or I spritz with water and use this and my hair is instantly detangled and sorta like a blowout. Repeated strokes will make it straighter but I don't need it really straight, just healthy manageable and detangled. My hair feels happy and softer, not dried hard crunchy or stiff.(like it usually is)hehe
So in other words the gentle steam effect is wonderful. I know I'm using it wrong but its working for me. :D I will never live without this brush or another like it. The torment of hairbrushing is over.
