I feel your pain though, now that my hair is getting long enough to actually need some sort of brushing device I need to invest in a non shitty one lol
I use the bristle type brushes, the one that have bristles like toothbrushes (not those annoying big fat spiky ones that kill when you try to brush out a knot). My spare brush is my old brush, but it broke in half after I threw it at a wall. It was amazing. Now it looks like half dildo half scrubbing brush lol
