Review title is Boars bristles too short [SEP] This is a very nicely made set but not one that I think will accomplish what I want.  A good boar's bristle brush will make your hair shiny and smooth.  However, these boar's bristles are so short and the nylon bristles so long that it is difficult to get your hair deep enough into the brush for it to make contact with the boar's bristles.  My hair is medium length and thick but fine.  Brushing with the brush just doesn't penetrate to the shorter bristles.  The comb might be good for combing out wet hair but the teeth are just too fat for making a part of doing a nice smooth combing job.
