I got this to use on my curls on days where they needed detangling but I didn't want to fully break them up with my boar bristle brush. Unfortunately, I'd rather use my fingers. This comb snags tangles pretty harshly in my hair and doesn't feel as gentle as my plastic wide-toothed comb or hands. It may work much better for straight or wavy hair, or finer hair, but it just didn't work for me personally.
