boars bristles too short [SEP] this is a very nicely made set but not one that i think will accomplish what i want a good boars bristle brush will make your hair shiny and smooth however these boars bristles are so short and the nylon bristles so long that it is difficult to get your hair deep enough into the brush for it to make contact with the boars bristles my hair is medium length and thick but fine brushing with the brush just does not penetrate to the shorter bristles the comb might be good for combing out wet hair but the teeth are just too fat for making a part of doing a nice smooth combing job
