If it weren’t for the tire smell, I’d give it 5 stars [SEP] Love the brush overall as it is lovely how it glides through my hair. I appears to be almost identical to my old standby favorite brush (Widu) that I can’t find anymore. Not sure if this new company took them over, because they’re very similar - except for the rubber material used for the wood bristles.<br /><br />If your hair is at all wet when using this brush, it activates the rubber smell, which to me is like walking into a tire store.<br /><br />Granted, I’m very sensitive to smells, but it’s still weird to me that such a nasty choice in rubber was made for a hairbrush.<br /><br />Hope they correct this, because otherwise, it’s a great brush.
