reviews are right it does not brush [SEP] i saw the reviews that said it does not do anything but i was hoping it was more subjective and maybe it might work for me nope it really does not brush anything bristles are weak arrived bent maaaaybe could work if you have super thin hair thin and flimsy feeling if that is a concerni use wet hairbrushes that are designed like this and i have to say that the quality really varies i have a couple that i love and work wonderfully brushes tangled wet hair painlessly evenly brushes hair to tie it up i have only tried brands but this is the worst i have seen the bristles are weak they are really thin even for wet brushes and they arrived bent not because it was used it was in the plastic wrap and everything i do have thick hair but this is the first brush i have used of any kind tiny travel ones included that feels like it is literally going on top of my hair and not through it at all even when i try to press down it maaay work if you have thin hair but i mean really thin hair and even them i am doubtfuli bought this hoping i could use it as a travel brush so i was not too picky as long as it brushed relatively okay obviously not but the plastic is also lighter and thinner than i expected it to be again even for a small travel brush so i am doubtful it or the hinge would not break easily with pressure while trying to brush thick or tangly hair
