smells bad and makes hair frizzy [SEP] the brush smells bad i do not know any other way to explain it other than it smells like a bonfirethat smokey charred smell i have not noticed it making my hair smell but the brush definitely stinksalso i have long thick hair this brush is so thick and coarse that it does not brush through my hair at all it only makes it through the very top layer of hair and will not detangle anything it makes my hair very frizzy i wanted to love this brush since it is better for hair than plastic pin type brushes but this one just does not do the trick
