Bass Brushes Large Square Paddle Bamboo Brush, 1 EA

I used to have a wooden brush in high school and it did wonders for me. I have searched for another one for years now because they are so hard to find in stores. When my plastic brush broke a few weeks ago, it was the perfect excuse to save my monies and buy this, which had been on my private list for about a year. I love the price! My brush arrived two days early, and it is so well made. Has screws in it instead of just the glue like another person mentioned. I was scared it would take forever to come or be broken when I got it due to the negative reviews but I am thinking that has to do with their USPS service. Because mine was in perfect condition. It looks as though it will probably last for years. If any pins break I will simply remove them or file them down. It's not rocket science. I have very full, thick, slightly coarse hair due to my Cherokee and Latina genes, but I am also about 60 percent Caucasian. My hair is difficult and damaged due to years of coloring. I do not use heat or alot of products on my hair but I did just stop coloring and bleaching about two years back. My hair is prone to getting real tangled throughout the day and frizzy with plastic brushes. My hair has split ends and alot comes out in plastic brushes as well. I use semi gentle shampoo and conditioner, a silicone silk product and a few home remedy treatments such as ACV and coconut oil or the occasional mask. I don't really style my hair, just usually brush and comb or go. I have an aresnal of scrunchies, and a bun maker I use and I braid it or put it up most of the time to keep it out of my way since it's long and thick. The brush is well made, strong, cuts down on frizz, less damaging, distributes oil (natural or my coconut oil), tames flyaways, detangles and keeps tangles away , massages the scalp for relaxation and stimulation of growth, cuts down or eliminates dandruff, can be used on wet hair, and will restore shine, health, and silkiness after regular use. I know because I remember what this kind of brush did for me all those years ago. I am so blessed to have found this brush for this price and so well made. I will continue to purchase these products. I wasn't compensated in anyway for this review. Another reviewer states this brush isn't life changing, but I beg to differ!

Update: It has been 4 years. My kids have used this as a prop, it has brushed my hair daily, been dropped from every height, thrown off the washer during a spin, and soaked in soapy water during playtime. It has a single split which I plan on gluing, and it has lost 3 tines (from dropping,) with 7 of the edge tines being broken off at the base. This does not affect its usage and you can buy replacement tines, which I plan on doing if any more break. This hairbrush is an actual beast of a wooden brush and I expect it to last my lifetime with general upkeep of it. I wash it regularly and give the wood an oil to keep it happy. It would probably look nicer if it hasn't seen so much bathtime usage. Probably not the brush for you if you keep yours in the shower. It's still pretty sitting on the shelf, brushes my hair without pulling, and I'm still in love with it. This would make the best gift. One year update: I have had this brush for about a year (possibly a bit longer.) It really is Bamboo (the tines are wood, so is the body.) Because the stripes are stained, and not a different kind of wood glued together, expect fading over time in high use areas. I add some oil rich lotion to my brush every month to keep it from drying out. Original: Our washer and dryer are in our bathroom, and I am forever placing this brush on the washer and forgetting I put it there. It has tumbled SO many times, and not been damaged. It holds up...it's built like a tank. The tines also keep from tangling in your hair. I love this brush compared to the plastic pin brushes I used to use. Highly recommend! 👍

I like the biggest brush by Bass, it covers more area at once and not only do you brush your hair, but you get a scalp massage out of it for that reason, due to the large surface area; it used to have screws on the top but no more and for that reason, its much smoother/well done wood-finish, which I appreciate...the only thing is it won't last...the plastic part/cushion starts to go after a while and so I replace these often, maybe I am pushing down too hard, in any regard, it is still the BEST brush out there, smooth and wonderful for the scalp...thank you BASS, you'll have my business for a long time

This brush is so well made it even has four metal screws to join the bristle pad to the bamboo wood. Besides being beautiful the brush is a "Green" composition of bamboo instead of wood or plastic. Because bamboo can handle being wet without damage you can use it in or out of the shower or with a blowdryer! The tines massage your scalp so wonderfully that I find myself wanting to brush my hair over and over at night (and sometimes during the day!) My sister had purchased brush by Kent, which is significantly more expensive, but this lovely perfectly made brush is great not just in name it is also in composition. I use my own mix of pure Argan oil and Lavender oil to have a nice smelling conditioner for my hair and it has not affected the brush in any way. So if you have long hair, wavy, and or curly hair this is definitely the brush. If that isn't enough you can wash it so easily. Sometimes I just rinse it real good under hot water and it cleans the tines right up then I just l let it dry overnight (after making sure to squeeze as much out of the pneumatic pad or let it drain tine side down depending on how you cleaned it. I've seen brushes of a similar nature costing upwards of 50 or 100 something dollars (MIND BOGGLING), but if you are looking for a good brush start here with this brush especially if you need easy detangling. I still use my boar mixed bristle brush to get that glass finish when pulling my hair back in a pony tail or "up style" hairdo. Boar is better at forcing stray hairs to lay down, but not good for detangling. I will definitely be sticking with Bass Brushes in the future, no more plastic/nylon brushes, bristles or handles for me.

Seriously, I have not had a brush THIS good, ever. It gives a smooth stroke and no static. There is no plastic pieces, allowing it to be gentle on my hair. I have long THICK hair and since I have been using this brush, I have minimal breakage and the proof is in the pad - no hair is pulled out and left on the padding. I noticed more shine to my hair as well. I will never own another brush, ever! I highly recommend this to anyone. I want to get the dog brush as well since I have a long hair German Shepherd!

This is by far the best hairbrush I've ever owned! My hair tends to rip off hairbrush bristles, but that's not a problem with this brush. After 6 years, I've only lost one bristle. The shape of the bristles is also very nice. It handles tangles perfectly and is so sturdy! It's not too heavy either. I also love how this feels on my scalp. It's nice to hold. It's easy to pull the hair that comes off from the brush. I did buy a replacement after 6 years. I could've kept using the old one as it was still plenty functional. It was just a treat to myself :) I'd highly recommend this hairbrush! It's worth every cent!

Oh. My. Goodness!!! I bought this immediately after seeing a YouTuber with a hair texture similar to mine (dense, Afro-textured) talked about what a great brush it is. She did not lie! I never knew there was such a thing as a wooden brush before her video. I can say without hesitation that this is probably THE best brush I have ever owned - even better than the other brush that was all the rage in the Afro-textured hair community a few years ago. In fact, I bought that brush probably a week before I bought my Bass brush, and I use the Bass brush way more. The best thing about this brush for me, besides gliding through my hair without snagging or tearing it, is the amazing way it massages my scalp. It really stimulates the scalp with injuring it. The only way a scalp massage with this brush could feel better is if my husband was doing the brushing so I can give my arms a rest! The brush is also easy to clean - usually, I just run my wide-tooth comb through it to pick up the loose hairs at the base. You can wash it too, just make sure you dry it thoroughly. Since I've only had it barely two months, I can't say what is the least thing I like about it. Because I wear my hair in a protective style, I use my brush only once a week to help de-tangle my hair. Maybe I can provide an update in the future.

I looked at a bunch of different wooden brushes before settling on this one and from what I've read bamboo brushes sound really nice. And this one is! I've only had it for about a week but it's held up to my hair just fine, as it's thick and wavy but not quite prone to getting tangled. The bristles haven't broken and seem pretty strong and overall the brush feels sturdy and well-made. The size is perfect for my long hair and the bristles give a nice scalp massage. I'm still careful about brushing my hair with it though, but with proper care this brush should last for several years.

MARAVILHOSAAA!!! É além do que eu imaginava, é ainda melhor, lindíssima.

I like the way it brushes through my hair

Love this brush. Few strokes and my hair has been detangled and my scalp - receives a gentle rub, High quality, sturdy and you can tell that is truly natural. I think I brush my hair a bit more now! ;) I do think this will last me a while and for the price, it has to last a couple of years. I'd think it's a good gift too....

best hair brush i've ever had

Quite a good brush, I’ve had it a couple of months now and really like it. It’s easy to keep clean too.
