Finally, a portable hairbrush for my hair. [SEP] I have thick, wavy hair and need a thick brush. Over a decade ago I discovered that boar bristles work best, but finding one I can take with me was a process. I didn't like those with exposed bristles, so there weren't many options. This is the first folding boar-bristle brush I found.<br /><br />The plastic is light and gives the impression that it isn't of the best quality, but it's survived my backpack just fine. This is a portable brush, so using it requires more strokes through my hair, but that's a price I'm not hesitant to pay. It's come in handy for my kids too, who also have the same hair-and-brush combination.
