Review title is Works well and without pain, but protective ends come off after a while [SEP] I bought this brush at a discount in exchange for an honest review.  I'd seen all the wet brushes being sold at our local salons, but I never bought one because it seemed a bit gimmick-y.  Having given this one a try, I'm kind of wishing I'd bought one sooner!  The bristles are soft and flexible, and it never hurts to pull it through my hair.  It detangles hair quickly and is easy to clean.  My 4-year-old complains occasionally that it pulls at her tangles, but it is relatively rare, and a HUGE improvement over her old brush.<br /><br />EDIT 2/12/18: Unfortunately, the little balls on the ends of the bristles started popping off late last year, and the bristles really hurt without them.  We're tossing this one and have bought actual brand-name wet brushes as replacements.  I think I like the brand-name brushes a bit more, though it's hard to compare when it's been over a year since this brush was new.  Hopefully the brand-name ones last a bit longer.
