a lot of conflicting reviews for thick hair [SEP] this probably will not help i do not normally write negative reviews its just that this brush had so many conflicting reviews regarding thick hair which i have in spades that i decided to put my experience here i also have to say that another reason to look for a new brush is because i have pain in my hands almost daily right now in use a wet brush it is not too badon to thisi like the shape of the handle i just think that it could be bigger others in my family did not like it at allnow for my hair it was awful the texture of the bristles seems ever so slightly rubbery ish maybe still plastic but it could not even get through my hair at all i mean i could take a very small strand of hair put the brush toward the end of the strand and the brush would kind of pick at it what resulted was a nest of tiny knots where the brush left the hairi still kept trying to see how it would go it took a ridiculous amount of time and patience to finish that strand i have a feeling that i could have and probably did break much of my hair if i tried to go faster got distracted was impatient which happens often or if my hands started having paini hope this helps people with thick hair
