Professional Oval Bass Boar Nylon Brush for Guitar & Bass - Perfect for Cleaning, Polishing & Maintaining Musical Instruments

Nice for long (22"), straight, thick hair, after de-tangling with wide-tooth comb. Nylon spiky bristles help boar bristles get to deeper strands, distributing natural oils throughout and evenly, and are nicely scratchy on the scalp. Not like when a plastic end protector comes off a cheap hairbrush; this is more gentle, intentional, and evenly distributed.The bamboo construction and rubber pad are nice; it's comfortable to use and seems like it will last a long time. Only wish it didn't have visible screws on the back. Not sure how I feel about the lacquered finish. Probably better for durability and hygiene, but it doesn't have the feel of nice raw polished bamboo.This brush was very well made and great quality for the price, but the long bristles are pretty sharp and hurt to use on my scalp. Having said that, I'm a man with about 6 inch curly thick hair, and I don't know if I'm using it wrong or something, but to be honest, I'm probably not going to use it again. I'll take the loss and do more research on my next brush.We received a Bass brand brush but it was not the one pictured or advertised. The one received had bamboo and boar bristles. Poor inventory control and product representation.It does not feel the same. It is light. It has these weird screws on the back of it. I like my old one. It is easy to clean and after cleaning you can put it all back together ( no screw driver needed)! Also, it does not say where is made? Why?I was looking to replace a worn out brush I have had for years with soft boar bristles as well as stiffer nylon bristles to extend to my scalp through thick fine hair. This Bass brush is a good replacement. The nylon bristles do not have little balls at the tips the way my old brush did so the Bass brush feels very sharp at first, but I am adjusting to that.This brush is just what I had been looking for! I have long, fine and thin hair. Other boar bristle brushes I've owned has bristles that were too soft to go through my hair and get out the tangles. This brush is perfect. It massages my scalp to get the blood flowing for healthy hair. This brush has encouraged me to brush more too. I never used to brush my hair that much before.i have super long hair and this brush does it for me. i dont like any other type and ive been using this company for over 25 years.Love how it grips the hair; really helps with blow drying if you want a straight look - I don't need to use my straightening iron anymore (in combo with my Babybliss dryer). The size of the brush is great too - not only grips hair well, but grabs a good amount of hair. Just bought another one for my mom!This seller sent a different brush . One that is not of the same material and worth half the price that I paid . Don't waste your time !!!!!
