not bad but will not dilate your pupils either [SEP] i had high hopes for this little baby but after using for a few days i must say it is just okay perhaps it may be because when i bought it i had thick or used to before my brush starting feasting on it hair down to my butt and was tired of finding enough to knit my cat a sweater in my hair brush every morning so i wanted something that was more user friendly but then on an impulse i cut my naturally curly hair very shortthe pros by far the biggest for me is that the teeth are spaced much more widely apart and are much thicker than i expected from the photo this means you cannot really get the curl definition that the picks with a more narrow spacing will give you i also wish the handle were a bit longer
