Review title is Nice set, but the plastic is matte and gel sticks to it very easily [SEP] The plastic is not as smooth as I would like. It is important to be able to clean brushes and combs especially if you use any hair product. This set was created using a plastic that has more of a matte feel to it. It makes cleaning it easy and also has a bit of a weird feel as it combs through hair. In about 6 months, it has not broken though. Just some of the paint has worn off which is somewhat expected.
