Review title is For me - pretty much useless [SEP] For me - pretty much useless.  I have fine long hair & it barely gets beyond the surface.  Think back in the day, a man's small oval natural bristle wood based brush - it's just like that SO if you're a guy I'/m guessing it would work. I would also imagine with thick hair you'd be better off with your fingers.  I gave it 2 stars because it does seem well made.
