Smells bad and makes hair frizzy [SEP] The brush smells bad. I don't know any other way to explain it other than it smells like a bonfire...that smokey, charred smell. I haven't noticed it making my hair smell, but the brush definitely stinks.<br />Also, 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's better for hair than plastic pin type brushes but this one just doesn't do the trick.
