Rectangular Brush with Short Tooth

This is the best brush I've ever used! My last brush had a ball point at the end of the wooden pins, and that one pulled on hair so I don't ever trust using a brush to detangle my hair after a night's sleep and my hair is like a bird's nest. However, this brush detangles my hair so gently, it doesn't pull on my hair unless I am aggressive and in a rush. The rubber that holds the pins felt like leather or something of high quality, smooth, and looks like might last a long time. The brush I had before this already had cracks in the rubber after a few times I cleaned it. With this brush, it's so easy to clean, I just use an old tooth brush to scrub between the pins with a little soap. My hair is greasy and easily leaves grey stuff on the pins and the rubber, what would usually be a nightmare cleaning a brush now becomes so easy, this brush easily sheds it off with my usual way of using a tooth brush and soap. Works great with my short, straight, thick diameter, medium volume hair. The brush is so light yet better quality than my last brush, which is heavier. I like the rectanglular brush, for the main reason that it's easier to clean with a tooth brush---just up and down, left and right, unlike an oval brush, I'd have to clean in a up and down then radial way---from outside to the center. The box, is so neat, it did came with a little cream white cotton bag, no ad cards or anything to entice people to win a free product by doing so and so. Nice and pure from ads. The box opens from the long side of the box, not the width, which is what I'm used to since my last brush is opened by sliding the cover lengthwise, this one is like that of a shoe box. Love the presentation, except the price is too high. It is supposed to be $35, when I finally got around to purchase it, it became $38. Learned about the brush from watching Holistic Habits, finally got around to having one! Love the quality and the care put in to making this brush. Update: Nine months after use, March-December, a pin broke in half during cleaning with a toothbrush. I was very disappointed but can’t really blame it because I do clean my brush very often and I had been a little aggressive that time. I usually wash/scrub my brush 1-2 times a week after each time I had washed my hair to ensure I am using a clean brush with clean hair(also my hair leaves dirty residues, maybe it’s just me or the quality of my shampoo). I still continue to use it, I just pull out what I could of the broken pin, the part of the pin that is under the black rubber couldn’t come out, so it fell in and stayed inside the black rubber part, which I’m fine with as long as no pokey part is on the outside to scratch my scalp. I feel disappointed and expected the brush to last years without damage. But with how I am using it it may be different. The brush feels a little different without that little pin, could also be the placebo effect. But now that I cut my hair short, it feels no different than with or without that pin. Plus it is only a pin on the lower left edge row, not too bad of a spot lose a pin. Hope this helps.

I bought this brush in March 2021 and I have absolutely loved it ever since. It's been incredible for my hair, it distributes oils from the scalp throughout the hair to keep it looking smooth and shiny. My hairdresser has noted how healthy my hair looks after some changes I've made, the main ones being exclusively using this brush and waiting for my hair to be 80% dry before blow drying. It never made my hair full of static (that I can recall) and has glided through my hair effortlessly de-tangling. I have no clue what is wrong with some people out here and their odd criticisms. As far as "the brush comes missing a pin," the description literally says the brush looks as though it's missing one and the hole is intentional for air circulation purposes. I guess some people do absolutely zero reading about the products they're spending their money on, especially wild considering this isn't some random drugstore brush it's a $50 Italian wood brush. And in the 3 years I've had this brush, I have never had it look like some of the photos posted on here, the ones where the brush looks trashed and all bizarre with the pins sticking all directions. My brush literally looked new still, even after brushing through wet and damp hair, brushing through hair products, or getting slightly wet from cleaning it. It's always dried properly and looked fine still. Make no mistake, I am not super gentle and delicate with the things I own. I actually dropped the brush and it fell kind of hard on some tile. Only had a small chip on the back of it, but that never affected the use of the brush and never got worse. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how solidly made the brush is. The only reason I am even buying a new one is because the brush got lost and likely trashed following a house fire. I had to abruptly leave and even after recovering some of my things, I never was able to grab my brush. So while I've had to go a short while without my brush, best believe I miss it dearly and fully intend to replace it asap with another.

Dry as in end of a windy workday, not for wet detangling. If you have long, fine, damaged or dry hair prone to breakage that looks like a tangled frazzle at the end of the day, consider splurging on this brush! I'm glad I finally did. I wore my hair down and straight today with a slight bend, and the wind was 15-25 mph today. Tried out the brush when I got home and it was soo gentle, not a single hair came out! And no static! It was pricey, but, if your hair matches my description, and you want a better tool for a mid or next day detangle, do it for yourself and your poor baby hair. I did also order the Chosin X-Large paddle brush at the same time. That brush has a standard paddle brush stiffness and much larger standard paddle brush size compared to the smaller Tek size. I thought about returning the Chosin but it didn't cost much and can serve some different purposes like scalp massage, tougher tangles, maybe a low heat blow-dry. I did get some hair fall with the Chosin brush, but each strand had the root ball, not broken, so ready to shed anyway. The Tek brush feels like a whisper against your scalp but it does detangle straight dry hair without any damage or static. Which is what I'll use it for whenever I wear my hair straight and need to detangle every 4-8-24 hours.

Good hairbrush is really do make a difference

I was previously using Wet brushes, I had the standard one and the pro model. But for my fine hair, which is wavey verging on curly hair, the smaller bristles would snag easily. These bristles are nice and thick, sort of like a comb, but mounted on a bit of rubber so they can flex. The large smooth bristles also make it easier to remove shedded hairs from.

Very nice

I have long, thick, wavy hair that frizzes easily. I saw a video on a "minimalist" hair care routine that recommended wooden brushes to fight frizz, with this particular brand highlighted. I decided to give it a shot and got a comb and brush. I've seen an improvement in my hair, though I did change two other things about how I care for it so I can't say for certain how much of the improvement is due to the comb & brush. One thing that stands out about this brush is how good it feels on the scalp. You wouldn't think that wood could feel so soft, but it's a much gentler feel than brushes with the little plastic balls on the bristles. So, overall, I think this is a great brush well worth its price.

I have a mini version of a Tek brush for my gym bag/travel and love it, so I decided to try the full size version to replace a plastic hairbrush that had become extremely scratchy after the "ball" tips fell off the bristles. I love that this brush is made of natural materials and that the bristles don't scratch your head up (and there's no chance of the tips falling off since they are all one piece). It works well to brush my waist length hair wet or dry and reaches through all the layers of my hair (sometimes boar bristle brushes just seem to skim the top level of hair). I was debating between the long and regular bristle versions and regular seems to work just fine, but my hair's not super thick. Every once in a while, I use some mild soap and an old toothbrush to clean around the bristles to remove dust and hair product buildup. It may seem crazy to perform maintenance on a hairbrush, but this thing is well made and I want it to last many years.
