just the perfect size weight for my purse [SEP] evolve boar bristle purse size brush i needed a new brush for my purse now i have one just the perfect size weight for my purse lightweight yet sturdy no plastic this brush would also be perfect for a toddlers hair or an elderly persons thin hair no sharp edges to poke you i have never had a boars hair brush so i suppose there is a bald boar running around somewhere not in my neighborhood i hope i just hope i do not lose this brush i have a hard time keeping brushes usually i lose them sometimes my cat decides he likes my brush so i give in he needs to stay out of my purse i am hoping this brush works out then i will graduate up to the larger sizes i think the plastic brushes are rough on my hair pull some hair out so far i am loving this brush it really smooths tames my hair down if you want a natural soft brush this is the one for you i do not use this brush on wet hair i switched over to a wide tooth comb my plastic brushes are in the trash i did receive this brush at a reduced cost for an honest opinion i love it thank you
