This brush to blow dry is at the top. I am completely satisfied and think the same offer to my mother. She rolled my hair strand without breaking while I have another boar bristle brush that tore me every time. I wanted to still keep thinking that the ideal is indeed the boar bristle and I took a brand. I bought this to make me brush curls thinking she was smaller. This was not the case when I received it but when I tried it, I was delighted and will buy the same brand in a smaller size.
