I keep meaning to try get some to offer from the boutique, but I just haven't had time. It's got really wide teeth and every one is bowed, each consecutive one in the opposite direction. I finally found what I consider to be the perfect comb!

What kind of brush do you use? What is your hair type? I find it interesting that different types of hair respond so differently to combs and brushes.

As for me,I´ve also got fine hair(lots of it but baby-fine),and I can´t use any kind of comb on dry hair-just rips through it and causes tons of splits. Tongue

I have been using -for the last seven years or so-only my two favourite brushes by Mason Pearson and Denman.Both are boar bristle/nylon mix and are ideal for my hair,very gentle ,no splits or static!

I comb my hair when it's wet and sometimes when the waves are very pronounced so as not to straighten them. I do use a brush most of the time though, as it works well on my thick hair.

I have heard others recommend Mason Pearson and Denman brushes, they must be very nice. I have a boar bristle brush, but it seems to cause more tangles so I quit using it. My comb, on the other hand, is a wide toothed wooden comb that has no rough edges and glides through my hair. No static, no splits.
