A lot of conflicting reviews for thick hair... [SEP] This probably won't help ; )<br />I don't normally write negative reviews. Its just that this brush had so many conflicting reviews regarding thick hair (which I have in spades),  that I decided to put my experience here. I also have to say that another reason to look for a new brush is because I have pain in my hands almost daily. Right now in use a wet brush.  It's not too bad.<br />On to this...I like the shape of the handle, I just think that it could be bigger. Others in my family didn't like it at all.<br />Now for my hair. It was awful.  The texture of the bristles seems ever so slightly rubbery-ish maybe? Still plastic, but it couldn't even get through my hair AT ALL. I mean, I could take a very small strand of hair,  put the brush toward the end of the strand and the brush would kind of pick at it. What resulted was a nest of tiny knots where the brush left the hair.<br />I still kept trying to see how it would go. It took a ridiculous amount of time and patience to finish that strand. I have a feeling that I could have (and probably did) break much of my hair if I tried to go faster, got distracted, was impatient (which happens often), or if my hands started having pain.<br />I hope this helps people with thick hair.
