Wood Pin Large Paddle Brush
I really missed having a woodpinned brush. I have been using a brush with the typical plastic pins and they downright hurt and scratch your head.The wood pins have a ball shape on the end of the pins, and they just glide over your head. It's enjoyable to brush my hair now. No scratches....more like a massage.The brush is very large: 10 inches long, with 5 inches being the brush head and 5 inches the handle. 3 and 5/8 across. Very smooth bamboo. The colors are contrasting, on the stripes, and very pleasing. The rubber base is white, instead of the green or black ones some companies make. The darker ones seem to show more dirt, so I am happier with the white.There is a scroll-work design, cut or burnt into the back of the paddle for interest. Has a big HH in cursive at the top of the scroll for Healthy Hair.I was worried this large paddle was for ladies with hip-length hair as this is the kind of brush you see them using on...

Mason Pearson Convert
I have been a loyal Mason Pearson nylon and boar bristle brush user for decades, using them exclusively, because I've never found a brush I like as well, but I'm switching my allegiance to this bamboo brush. When I was young my hair was very thick and very long. Now, at 51, it's shoulder length and not so thick anymore, but I still justify the expense of a Mason Pearson brush because they work so well, feel so good and last forever--I have owned only three Mason Pearson brushes in the past thirty five years - two full size, one travel.But when my current one started to wear out, after seeing the price for a new one ($113), I thought I'd shop around for something else. This Olivia Garden brush seemed like a good contender with the combination of boar bristle and wooden pin bristles, and besides, it's $100 cheaper! I didn't have high expectations as I have been disappointed by cheap Mason Pearson copy cats that scratched my scalp, pulled my hair, or fell apart, and I'd...

Lot's of shine!
I was looking for a good boar-bristle brush that was also eco-friendly, and this was the perfect answer! Not that expensive, and works very well. I really like that it also has harder pins, which help the boar-bristle to get into the rest of the hair. I didn't find this brush painful, but very comfortable, and was very satisfied with the quality and performance. It also has a cute little design on the back, which makes it look even nicer. I would definitely recommend this brush; there really isn't any reason not to!I recently purchased the regular wooden oval brush in large, and like it just as much! The bristles (is that the right word?) have really wide rounded ends that make it really comfortable, and keep it from pulling or tangling. It really is a great brush, and works just as well if not better than my old uber expensive swissco brush.
