broke on first use admittedly i have a lot of hair and was using it pretty aggressively [SEP] i have very thick curly hair that goes about down to my shoulders so my friend who has similar hair but not quite as thick recommended this comb to me in the shower with conditioner i was putting it through the knots and after a couple passes it got caught on a particularly sturdy tangle and the handle snapped i probably could have been a little more careful with it but i was using it in the same way i use my fingers when going through my hair again though my friend with curly hair and medium thickness uses it all the time and loves it
