Sam Villa Artist Series Nylon and Boar Bristle Hair Brush Spiral Thermal Styling Brush

This brush has now become my favorite.After struggling for over a year to find the perfect brush I have finally found it! It makes my blow out much easier. I spend less time trying to style the top of my hair which has been a problem for a long time. Because of the struggle I was using too much heat on it which caused significant hair damage. I now use less heat & time styling the top of my hair. It gives me body & shine. It even takes out the kink I have on the left side of my hair.I’m buying 2 or 3 more brushes (in both medium & large) as back up just in case this company stops selling them.For reference I use the medium size for the too & large for the sides & back.

My last one lasted 7 years and I bought this to replace, this is the only brand I will use! Volume, curls, smooths, it does it all!!

I have medium length hair with several layers and needed a styling brush that would grab yet not pull it as I styled it with my hair dryer. I had high hopes for this one as it worked beautifully in the beginning.Over time the boar bristles have blunted and frayed rendering them virtually useless. The plastic bristles still grab my hair, but they are slowly bending (likely from heat) and my hair doesn't flow as freely through the brush as it did in the beginning. It's a shame because the base is made of high quality wood and it's pretty comfortable to hold. But the brush itself is just not performing as I had hoped.

Love this brush. When used with a hair dryer, it make me look like I just went to the salon. For anyone with hair that freaks out with humidity, this brush really helps!

Makes my hair shiny! I love this brush

The bristles are long so it grabs more hair. I live this brush!

the signature one is much better than this one

This brush definitely grabs the hair and the boar bristles definitely create smooth shine. I find the SV Signature Thermal brush a bit better though. This brush is hard to "twist out" when uncurling - mainly because of its bristle density. Another issue is static, and using this on fine dry hair results in static. As for the metal barrel - once again the SV Signature Thermal Brush wins. I don't find this barrel to hold the heat nearly as well. The handle grip on this brush is better than the SV Signature Thermal, but still not as good as the rigid grip handles on my T3 thermal brushes.
