MinaloStyling Essentials 100% Natural Boar Bristles Hair Brush With Wood Handle, Round Comb Ruled 2.2-Inch

UPDATE:So I absolutely love this brush. It has gotten to the point where I don't use anything else. These spread the natural oils of your hair throughout the length of it so your hair looks and feels healthier. It goes through knots so well that I pretty much cut my brushing time in half. I will use this brush for a long time and purchase the same one for the replacement whenever anything breaks on this one, which I expect won't be for a long time.Original:I got this brush after losing my flat headed one. I really like the different types of bristles on it, and it does help spread the natural oils on your scalp to the rest of the hair. I have really long, thick hair and this brush does wonders.

This is a great brush. I have pin-straight hair. Colored. Chin length. Thing hair, but lots of it - so with a little mousse I get a lot of lift. This brush is great after I've applied a dab of volumizer and am blow drying to get fullness with a little curl under at the bottom. I don't have a sensitive scalp so I can't say if it would bother some people, but for me the pulling out to dry and lift my hair works great. It gives me just the kind of results I want. I love the wood handle, but it's a little slippery if I don't squeeze tight.

The good news is that I'm a man over 70 and still need a hair brush. When my old one started losing bristles faster than I was losing hair, it was time for a new brush, this was the one I picked..and I'm glad I did. The reason for the four (instead of five) stars is because it's a bit bigger in diameter than I thought it would be and that falls on me not the brush. I was looking for a brush with longer and shorter bristles and this one has it all, I was afraid that the longer bristles might be too stiff or sharp but they just give a nice massaging feel without scraping. Overall an excellent product.

I was looking for a round brush because I just cut my hair above the shoulder, and I wanted something to style my hair. I'm an amature when it comes to style hair. I bought this brush as a starter and experiment. So far I really like it. This brush has bristles as well as nylon bristles, which brushes the hair out better. The handle is made out of wood. It's pretty sturdy. This brush has made my hair softer and spreads out the oil of my hairs. I recommend this brush.

My hair is above the shoulders and very curly so I blow dry and flat iron daily. This size is perfect for the job and the ergonomic handle fits nicely in my small hand. I used to have a bigger boar brush and my hand would loose feeling often during the blow drying process. I like the combination of the boar bristles with regular bristles because I can use it to brush my hair without causing it to frizz or get staticky.

I was a bit nervous when ordering this brush, it is made from boar hair, not for a faint of heart! But being fed up with plastic hair brush, the tangling, the disgusting buildup of ewwwww lint that is impossible to clean out, I decided to give this a try. After all our hair is made up with the same keratin material as animal hair! So far I am very happy with the result. Mainly because of the fact that I can wash the brush with shampoo in the shower every now and then to prevent the build up and keeping it clean. Also it is so soft and doesn't fizz up my hair like the plastic brush. Very happy!

Half the boar bristles already fell out when I opened the package, and more continued to fall out when I removed it from its packaging. There are also weird little brown specks of paint from the handle, or just straight up dirt, that keep falling out every time I touch it or try to use it. It also has a horrible chemical smell to it that stays on my hair for a bit after I tried using it. Will be returning ASAP.

Not impressed with this brush. My sister has a boar bristle brush from Spornette and that was my first time using a brush like that. I liked that after using it my hair wasn't fizzy, especially considering we live in the south, and that it made styling my hair easier. I decided to go with Minalo's brush over Spornette since it had better reviews on Amazon but I'm disappointed with my choice.With every use boar bristles fall out of this brush. We're talking about 5 bristles every morning when I do my hair. They land on the sink, my shirt, or the floor. Mind you, I have straight, short hair which is very manageable. Not sure if that's normal but after reading the stellar reviews I wasn't expecting my brush to fall apart (okay, that's a bit dramatic). Also, it's my error for not reading the description but I was looking for a brush with just boar bristles but this one has nylon strands. I know they have a "no-hassle" return policy but it's annoying doing returns so I'm keeping the brush. I do love the handle; they got that part right. I still use the brush since it's there but I'm not in love with it nor would I recommend it to others. When I feel like spending money on a hair brush again I'll choose a different brand.

brush is okay, expected better quality as per price.
