Fendrihan Men's Oval Hairbrush Pure Bristle with Real Olivewood Handle, Made in Germany

I'm a woman, and I'm mentioning this because this brush is labeled as a men's brush but I think anyone can use it. The bristles on this brush are more dispersed than the ones on their brushes without handles, so this one works much better on my very dense and long hair (it's down to my lower waist). The boar bristles work better than any other brush I've used, in terms of dispersing natural oils. Brushing with this brush makes my hair last longer between washes because the hair at my scalp gets less greasy. I have wavy hair, and it doesn't fully brush out my natural waves. It's nice for brushing out and shaping vintage curl sets as well. I have very tiny hands (I wear child size winter and gardening gloves) so it provides a nice hold for me, but perhaps a man with rather large hands would not find the handle of this brush quite as comfortable to hold... In which case this brand does provide many other designed hair brushes some with what seem to be longer or wider handles and even the aforementioned brushes with no handle. All in all a great brush!

Quick summary: excellent quality at an excellent price. If you're looking for a boar bristle brush, this is the one!I was nervous about using a boar bristle brush because I had tried in the past with some of the bigger brands and it was always a disaster. They would make my hair look terrible and greasy, as well as causing huge amounts of static. Turns out, a lot of those big brand brushes are mixed with nylon bristles! I did a ton of research before settling on Fendrihan, which I ultimately chose for several reasons. First, I like using a company with history that still uses craftspeople to make their products. Second, I wanted a wooden handle, and this one is gorgeous. Third, it seemed from the pictures to be a similar quality to a brush double the price, so I figured I should at least try this one first.I'm so glad I did! As mentioned, the olivewood is gorgeous and the geometric handle is a really lovely detail. I have fine, straight hair that is pretty thick and this sails through with ease. I've even stopped using my wet brush for detangling before brushing, I just go straight to this one! (I do still use my wet brush when my hair is wet-- don't use this on wet hair!) It took about a month for my hair to adjust-- at first it looked WAY more greasy and I almost stopped, but I kept up with it and now my hair looks way healthier, shinier, and more voluminous. I divide my hair in half and do 100 strokes per side while upside down and while right side up every evening. It's actually quite a soothing way to end the day, and sometimes I do it while watching tv. I can't say yet if it will extend hair washing-- the second I got adjusted to using the brush, I added an ACV rinse into my routine so now my hair is adjusting to that. Once I'm settled I will report back.Anyway, to sum up: buy this brush! It's excellent from top to tail, and at a steal of a price.

There are a lot of options when it comes to a natural bristle hair brush for men, various styles and a plethora of price points. I probably spent 4 - 5 hours looking at alternatives and reviews. And I could not be more pleased with my choice of this brush.The olive wood is distinctive, smart and finished very well. My wife is envious. It fits my hand just right, is easy to manage and a joy to use. I considered a more traditional military style but really like the handle. I have a full head of I would say medium hair; not thin, not thick. About 3 inches at the longest. I have found that if I want I can press it through to my scalp or alternatively lightly style the top. Could have paid 4 times as much for one appointed to the king. Very glad I did not. I cannot imagine how that alternative could be any better; just a whole lot more expensive.Recommend very highly and without reservation. Well worth the time I invested in searching.

I have very fine hair that's rather thin. I bought this brush to replace my old Fuller brush semi round brush that broke. This does fine on the top and sides of my head, but struggles a bit getting through the back. It's a flat brush, and I don't like it as well as the semi-round one I had, but its bristles are firm enough to do a pretty good job. Handle is a nice wood. Overall, a good value for price.

great brush period!!

I can't tell you how nice it is to buy something that's not mass produced in China. I know it's just a brush, but you use this for grooming and you'll understand what quality feels like in your hand. I actually enjoy using a brush in addition to just combing. Highly recommend!

This is a very nice brush. I brush my hair primarily for scalp health, and this brush reaches my scalp easily.My one concern is the presence of what appears to be small white insects clinging to some of the bristles, or perhaps they are insect egg casings. I was able to pick several of them off. When I washed the brush it emmited a very strong insecticide smell which dissipated somewhat over a few days, so maybe the insects are actually dead.Not the most savery experience, but the brush itself is quite nice.

Extremely high quality. Solidly built. The olive wood is luxurious.Hard and scratchy, think invigorating, if you have thin hair. Like the twigs used by Finns in saunas.Even revs up your thinking.Might need to get another one. My cat is addicted to it more than to catnip. It's a cat's dream, from the wild boar smell to the never hoped for scratch of every itch...
