Bree V Oil Distribution A+ - I have medium thick, very long hair (past my waist) & this brush works great for me! I have been using a regular style pin brush for years but it would leave my hair frizzy at the ends and plus I wanted something that would help pick up, and distribute my hairs natural oils. These boar bristles do just that! The ends of my hair are no longer frizzy after being brushed, it lays fairly straight now and is quite shiny! The brush comes with a hole for air flow/drying if water gets inside, it's not "missing bristles" like one reviewer stated. I love the natural look of this brush and the added finger grip/rest really helps too!
