Sam Villa Bamboo Styling Brush

This is one serious brush.

Don't press too hard-- these boar bristles are tough stuff.

Once I got used to being able to brush my hair without a death-grip on the handle, it was great.

Made my hair all smooth and nice.

Non-static, just finishes your look.

Sam Villa does it again!

Umberto Oval Brush

The best of both worlds: great brush, great price!

Target brings us a new haircare line from Umberto Savone of the Beverly Hills salon Umberto.

The Oval Brush is awesome!

The boar & nylon bristle combination is great for finishing up your look without removing a layer of scalp.

Trish McEvoy: The Point

So, I admit it-- I've never owned a "good" brush before.

If it didn't come as part of a bonus, I didn't have it 

(sidenote: I now know that most of the bonus gift brushes are horrible). 

I was good with spending the money on powder, lipstick, whatever--but could just as 

easily apply it wiith a cotton ball, my fingers, or from the tube, right? WRONG! 

One application later, I was searching through my stash to find out what else I could put

on with this little wonder brush! No odd hairs on my face, pigment where I wanted it to go...

The design allows precision placement, but also superior blending.

Sadness- limited edition. GET ONE NOW!

Combs: My search

I have hair that breaks things.
Hair bands, brushes, and, especially COMBS.
[There is a LOT of hair on my head. Each strand is about the same thickness as sewing thread. And there are tons of that. I donated hair last year, the woman had to package it in 3 bundles.]
I comb my hair after washing. It doesn't matter how much conditioner I use, it's a tough job. I've come to terms with that.
What I can't stand is when combs snap in my hair!
I've tried the cheap, bendy-plastic drugstore combs (imagine hair laughing), and the fancy salon combs (took a year, but my hair won).
The only comb I have yet to break is this immense, thick-toothed, white plastic handled comb. It came free in a Clinique bonus.
I am down to the Clinique comb for wet hair & a Phillips Light Touch brush for dry hair. The brush does not consistently reach my scalp through my hair. I could press harder, but I don't want to break the brush & have to go buy another. The Phillips brush works to smooth the mess.
I would like to think that there are others in the same boat. Any recommendations???
