This brush goes through my coarse hair very easily, detangles and removes loose hair without pulling. Also, it is easy to clean. It is not the prettiest brush, but definitely adequate to use at a gym.
I've had this brush for a long time and love how easy it is to clean and how it works in my thick, curly hair. However, I used it when blow drying my haute and oops, it melted some of the bristles. Other than that it stands the test of time and is affordable
