I had bought this brush about 8 years ago when my hairdresser and since then almost every day in use. Reglmässig remove the hair in the brush with a comb and once a year in the dishwasher! And she is like new again! Now after so many years it is torn along and I'm looking for some time in the shops for a new one. Did already bought more, but that's all wasted money! As I have now come up with the idea to seek and am as so often has shared with Amazon on the internet for 'my brush'. I would recommend the brush with a clear conscience! I will order me twice (if one washed in the dishwasher just head gets :-)).
