100% Pure Calcutta Boar Bristle Hairbrush for Natural Healthy Hair, Stiff Bristle, Made in Germany's Black Forest

This, by far, the nicest hair brush. The wood is finished to perfection, very smooth. The boar bristles are dense and solely boar bristle, no fancy tips. It’s comfortable in the hand. It does a perfect job for fine hair. In short, this is, by far, my favorite brush.

Pure Quality, I love this brush. Natural wood and the bristle brush soft and good. Durable.

Since using this brush my hair appears to be thicker and healthy looking. My friend’s and family have noticed the difference saying my hair has been looking thicker and shinny. I love the way the brush makes my hair and scalp after brushing.

For a long, long time (maybe 15 years?) I have been using a synthetic brush from Sally Beauty Supply with bristles that are similar in length, spacing and firmness to the Calcutta. I always really liked it for my fine hair as it breaks easily and the bristles grab loose hairs and prevent them from falling on me or onto the floor. I'm glad I went with the Calcutta both for the above reason and because I appreciate that the bristles are firm enough to reach my scalp. The softer brush made by this manufacturer would have been too soft to accomplish that and I wouldn't have liked it (my boyfriend has a boar-bristle brush with soft bristles and they just seem to bend when I run it over my hair and barely grab anything). The bristles on this brush are a bit prickly, but probably a necessary feature for reaching the scalp. I don't much care for the handle; the wood is very lightweight and dry feeling. For the cost of the brush I wish it had a little more heft and a glossy finish which would have made it a little grippier. I will likely add a few coats of varnish, being careful to wrap the bristles beforehand. This will also make the wood more tolerant to water exposure and cleaning. Overall, though, I like this brush, and after manually pulling the oils from my scalp to my ends with my fingers, this brush finished the job nicely, distributing the oils more evenly throughout my hair (it is a fine-textured, medium thickness chin-length bob). As far as price, I'm a pretty frugal person, but I figured a brush like this is something of an investment so I wanted one I wouldn't have to replace in 2 or 3 years (ultimately spending more than I would have on this brush). The manufacturer also seems like it will be around for a while. In summary, it is my opinion that unless one has a very short, thin head of hair or a super sensitive scalp this is the brush to buy.

It's February 8,,2025 but we're going to buy two more, don't know the difference with calcutta and the other one I can't find 2 of 3 brushes, my favorite for Brandy, golden retriever she loves when I brush her red coat not like 6 to 10 years ago but that brush it's the $19 more oval deeper bristles just bought one, Belula brushes, but these are more pocket friendly. Wished I could get it overnight💯impossible.. 100% Natural Boar Bristle Hairbrush for Healthy Hair - Gentle Care, Made in Germany as I've purchased 6 of these plus the other variations of this same hair brushes, as I've used it for myself and Brandy my golden retriever that loves it when I brush her long hair, she's 12 years old now, and I love brushing her hair with these well made brushes that's made in Germany. I also bought a different one, for either of us, and I know we both will really like them. And what made my experience even better was Amazon customer service, her name is a hard one to pronounce, so I asked her if I could call her Sugar. She got for me, the $14, or $15 credit to my Amazon gift card and also got for me and Brandy, a promotional credit, I think ot was for around another $24.00 & I was a happier customer. It's not about the $14.00 but it's how the chat system worked and I was not very happy especially spending excessive time but with all this aside, I can start brushing Brandy's hair, and even my own hair as well. Maybe at a later time, I will display those brushes and explain how it takes out tangles with easy strokes, with smoothness. Love those brushes, bought so many of them throughout the past few years at least! Gary and Brandy of Kaneohe, Hawaii as again I will come back to show off my hair brushes! Thanks Amazon customer service because od Sugar Lady January 14, 2024 Wednesday night!!

Calcutta Version: Fantastic brush! In my search for the perfect boar bristle brush, I found this early on, but opted to try a couple of the less expensive ones, as I felt guilty spending over $30 on a hairbrush. I should've just bought this brush in the 1st place! I have fine blonde hair, but lots of it, and getting boar bristles to go all the way through to my scalp was more difficult than anticipated. Definitely Not a problem with this brush! It is a bit on the stiff side, & I now wonder if I could've just went w/the Original Version (even a few $'s cheaper than the Calcutta), but I'm very pleased overall with the one I chose😆. My hair looks great, and getting better every day- extra shiny, soft, and fuller looking with added bounce. My hair just seems to be much happier than before! Brush is beautifully made- lightweight but definitely not cheap feeling, the pearwood & butterfly engraving on the back are really lovely. Don't make the same mistake I did- just Buy This Brush! You will Not regret it. My only regret is not having bought it when I first saw it & wanted it- before wasting more $ on less costly bb brushes than I ended up paying for this. In fact, I think I may just go ahead & buy an original version of this brush when I'm finished writing this review. Get yours too, before they run out! LOVE THIS BRUSH!

Really nice hair brush - well made and quite lovely actually. However, it is definitely for very fine and thin hair. My hair is short - 4" and starting to be thinner; however, this brush actually made it fly away.

The brush is high quality and nice looking. The boar bristles are stiff as expected and the brush is likely to last for decades.

This hair brush feels luxurious.. beautiful quality.. I’ll be buying more for Christmas presents

Me gustó perfectamente todo, y es lo que estabas esperando. De una compañía de alto prestigio, agradezco la excelsa calidad de este producto. Muchos más éxitos y larga prosperidad.

This bristles on this brush are way too soft (not coarse enough) and too pliable and set too close to each other, in order to penetrate the hair, massages the scalp and thoroughly clean the hair shaft. Therefore, it only slides on the hair and renders it totally useless. Very disappointing.
