To clarify, I would not buy this brush again purely because it still looks brand new and I have had it for a few weeks now! The rubber material used to make it is super & looks like it just came out the box. I have medium length hair, and this brush makes my shampooing routine less painful - I have quite a lot of colour damage, and a lot of the time is spent on brushing my hair, this brush helps so much. My only problem is just that I hate dealing with the bit of hair that stays in the brush and then throwing it away/forgetting it in the shower seems to annoy me, but that could probably be diminished if also not used in the shower!
