**REVIEW** Bass Bamboo Bristle Brush

 I saw this brush when I was perusing boar bristle brushes. Since I still had my Shopper Panel credits, I went ahead and got it. And what do I think? Well, it's a good brush but, for my needs, it's not as good as the boar bristle brushes.

The brush is really well-made. I guess Bass is known for quality products. This brush sure is up to good standards. The handle is beautiful and solid. All the bristles are intact and set firmly into the cushion. 

What I like a lot about this is how good it feels on the scalp. It provides an easy-to-do soothing massage. It's actually a bit addictive. But what makes it harder for me to use in brushing or detangling my specific hair type are those bristles. My hair is too coily-curly-kinky for a brush like this. The bristles catch on every coil. But back on the other hand, I can use this just on my scalp and that's what I've been doing.

details & quality

Before or after I use the boar bristle brushes, I will part my hair into 4 sections and use this bamboo brush from the scalp to about half an inch down the hair strands. Sometimes, when I have my hair pulled back into a pony or bun, I will run the bamboo bristles through my edges.  Because my hair tends to lay straighter in these styles, I can pull the brush further down the strands. It really is a very soothing feeling - sort of stress-relieving.

The brush is meant for detangling, blow-drying, and scalp massage. It will do all those things for someone with a straighter, thinner, or shorter hair hair type.  Since I can only really use it for the scalp, it's probably not the best thing I ever bought. But I think it would be awesome for those with the right hair type.

Even though this brush didn't 100% work out for me, I'm glad I tried it. For one thing, it gives me an idea of the quality of the brand's product. And it really is such a nice-looking brush.

The handle is absolutely gorgeous and it feels really good in the hand. When I finish brushing my hair, I will find myself running my thumb along the handle - another soothing thing about this!

I don't really care one way or the other when it comes to my beauty products but, for those to whom it matters, this brush is "vegan-approved." It certainly does look pretty lying on my vanity... Also, because the bristles are bamboo, they won't melt when exposed to a hairdryer - another thing I don't have to worry about for myself.

So, overall, I like this (just not as much for myself as for others) and it's made me interested in the Bass brand. And, don't get me wrong, I use this almost every day in the limited ways that I can. Some of my friends who relax their hair or just have hair with a smoother texture will be loving this brush.

The price wasn't bad. I probably would not have gotten it if I hadn't had credits but, it's under $16 so that's great for the quality.

Peace
