Phillips Brush Light Touch 2 Oval Cushioned Brush (Purse Sized), with Ball Tipped Nylon Bristles, Contoured Handle

I've been buying this hair brush for years and I think it is the best on the market! Soft yet gets out tangles and leaves hair smooth and shiny.

I have been using this hairbrush model for more than 8 years now, and it is now the only hairbrush I will ever buy. Unlike many plastic bristle brushes that I have seen, this model's bristles are narrow and well-spaced, allowing for greater flexibility of the bristle during the stroke. The cushioned pad that holds the bristles in place facilitates extra flexing from the base of the bristle. The result is a hairbrush that is gentle yet effective on tangles, pulls out less hair, breaks fewer strands, and feels massage-like on the scalp. My hair is very fine and particularly susceptible to being pulled out from the scalp, and this hairbrush has mitigated much angst.I find that these hairbrushes last 4 to 5 years if used at home. Toting around in the purse puts pressure on the bristles so that they pop into the cushion earlier, shortening the effective lifespan of the brush to 1 to 3 years. There is a related model, Light Touch #2, which is smaller for greater portability, but I have never purchased that model.Having not located this model in stores for the last 5 years or so, I have found it most economical to purchase 3 or 4 at a time from online retailers. This way I can replace the one in my purse, the one at home, and still have extras on hand.To care for the hairbrush, use your hand to remove extraneous hair on a daily or weekly basis. You may find that dust and lint collect at the base of the bristle where there is an extra little piece of bristle plastic to secure the bristle in place. Fingernails can pluck out this lint on a monthly or semi-annual schedule. I find it generally unnecessary to wash this model of brush (since I do not use hair products such as wax, foam, mousse, or gel), but it certainly doesn't hurt.

I have had this brush for 15 years, it's been my all time favorite. Over time I looked and looked for another just in case I lost it, but never have found another until I saw it here on Amazon. ThIs brush has held up for YEARS! The bristles still have all the little round tips, not a single one missing. A few bristles are bent but considering the thousands of times I've used it and thrown it into this bag or that purse, that's pretty amazing. It's gone through lots of abuse and the handle has not broken even though it's made of a type of solid hard plastic material. The rubber part the bristles are embedded in is still pliable and not cracked or broken which has happened to other brushes similar to this I've had in the past. The tips of the bristles are such that they do not scratch your head and they feel good! It's probably not recommended, but I wash it in the dishwasher every so often... This has not degraded the rubber or made the tips come off, obviously. I saw it here on Amazon and bought three more because I'm afraid they will stop making it someday plus was so thrilled to have found it again. The new ones are just the same as my original and don't appear to be made cheaper like so many others things end up being made these days. The only comparable brush I'd found in the mean time was the Wet Brush which is cheaper and comes in fun colors, but I don't know how that one will hold up over time.

Seems cheap. Bristles are wire with plastic on tips.Handle small for a small woman's hand. Would rate more for a travel brush due to size, will not use for everyday. Somewhat disappointed in my purchase. Just received so durability remains to be determined.

The bag it came it clearly says made in China, and you can tell a difference in the quality. False advertising!

Had my sights on a much pricier brush but bought this one in a moment of financial clarity...good brush and feels great in my all one length super thick almost waist length hair. My hair is so thick I can only get a normal pony tail holder around it twice comfortably, three times if I'm willing to possibly break it trying. This brush rarely catches or snags and feels great on my scalp. Works much better if you keep excess build up of loose hair and lint cleaned out of it.I carried it with me in my purse for awhile and some of the bristles bent and I can't get them straightened out so I wouldn't recommend doing that.The handle has a great grip that feels comfortable to hold. Didn't give it 5 stars because I felt like the bristles shouldn't have bent so easily but that may be too high of an expectation for being in a purse with just sunglasses case and wallet? Wouldn't be an issue for someone who just leaves it at home on the vanity because the bristles don't show any wear or tear from just normal use and brushing. Good product and I'm very happy overall.

A simple little hairbrush, but just read all of the glowing reviews. I have had this brush for over 15 years, and it finally started to show it's age. My girlfriend laughed at me and my devotion to this old brush, until one day she couldn't find hers and used my Phillips. She understood immediately why I refused to replace it, and I ended up having to share my brush from that point on.I have curly hair, and she has long straight hair, but this brush, unlike every other brush I've ever tried, somehow can detangle both my curly hair and her straight hair with ease. It's not too stiff, not to soft, somehow just right. It brushes my hair and detangles it without pain and pulling.It really sounds like such a simple thing, but for me this brush is on the short list of little things in life that bring me pleasure and make my life easier. :)I finally broke down and hunted online for a new Phillips to replace my old one, and found them here on Amazon at a very reasonable price. Enough that I bought TWO of them. One for me, and one for my girlfriend. I still haven't had the heart to throw out my old Phillips (it works fine, even though rather worn at this point). And the new ones are just as good as the old one :) If you need a good brush that can detangle, give this a shot :)
