I had been eyeing on this brush for very long. I saw the excellent reviews and thought that, having long hair and LOVE the Aveda brand, it's something that I would enjoy.
After redeeming this brush from the rewards room, I realised that this is not something that I need personally.
The brush has a classy, wooden backing and handle. It looks luxurious, but oversized. It is also very light, which is something I didn't quite expect because of how big it is. While being lightweight has its advantage, it feels cheap. If I had paid the full $50 retail price, I would naturally have been disappointed.
This brush cannot brush out wet hair. This is something that I did not think about before my "purchase". My hair is naturally straight - frizzy, colour damaged, but straight. I wash my hair fairly often. The only time that I really need to brush my hair out is straight after a wash. I have been using the a detangling brush, a super cheap one from Models Prefer too - and it just works.
I also find that some of my hair get caught between the rubber base of this brush and the wooden base which is not nice.
Overall, I didn't see the value in this brush but more because it doesn't suit my needs.
