finally a portable hairbrush for my hair [SEP] i have thick wavy hair and need a thick brush over a decade ago i discovered that boar bristles work best but finding one i can take with me was a process i did not like those with exposed bristles so there were not many options this is the first folding boar bristle brush i foundthe plastic is light and gives the impression that it is not of the best quality but it is survived my backpack just fine this is a portable brush so using it requires more strokes through my hair but that is a price i am not hesitant to pay it is come in handy for my kids too who also have the same hair and brush combination
