Review title is Ouch [SEP] The individual bristles on the brush are metal and although they don’t seems to damage my scalp when I brush they are too hard and somewhat sharp for my kids. I have only used it once due to discomfort and my kids won’t use it. I was looking for a less expensive alternative to the wet brush paddle that I have to keep in the pool bag and this certainly isn’t it. It is definitely vented for hair drying and the metal bristles might be an added benefit for styling while drying, but not if it hurts to much to use it. This brush is not a win for my family.
