cute decoration not a great hair brush [SEP] my yr old loves mermaids so i got her this and she loves it but she cannot brush her hair with it this might be a good brush for a mermaid barbie but for any kid older than about a year old it is not going to be a great hairbrush the bristles are very thin my year old cannot use it either and her hair is thin it is just a decoration and or a doll brush cute though
