Review title is For your Best Friend...arf arf! [SEP] I've had a couple of versions of this style of detangling brush.<br />Do they work? YES!<br />Do they last? NO!<br /><br />Except for this one. It has outperformed the others.<br />First, a bit about these brushes. They come in a number of shapes and paddles, but are similar in that they have the same kind of plastic bristles.<br />The bristles stagger in length, and painlessly smooth knots and tangles.<br />Most of the time the bristles start to bend and then the brush is useless. After months of hard use, this one is still good as new.<br /><br />These are a favorite with parents of kids with unruly hair, because they don't hurt.<br />I like it for myself, and it's also my 'secret weapon'.<br /><br />I have 2 Maltese dogs, one is in full coat. That means long, flowing hair to the ground. Most people with a Malt in full coat need to section off the coat and roll up the hair, otherwise it gets so tangled it needs to be cut.<br />This hairbrush is a silky coated dog's best friend. Maltese, Yorkies, Afghans, Havanese...they need this brush!
