I have been looking for a hairbrush over the years that doesn't rip or tug at my hair while brushing. This brush has been the best hairbrush for my long, but fine/thin hair (the hair is thin but there are a lot of them on my head), so it gets tangled very easily due to the length and fineness. Many hairbrushes have not worked to detangle but have just ripped hair out, but this particular brush doesn't rip hair much, but detangles really effectively.
