I am so so happy I found this brush! As an older person with thinning hair that is also very long, I was loosing a lot when I brushed with my other brush. Since I started using this Tangle Teeser Wet Detangling brush my hair loss has deceased hugely. I will be buying another one, and highly recommend these brushes for anyone with fragile hair. I also use it to massage my scalp as the bristles are rounded and don't dig. It also cuts down on breakage.
