I was recommended this (over my Denman) by my curly hair stylist! She said that it would detangle faster and help with hair retention aka losing less hairs. She was right! Every time I would brush my hair before using this I was losing CLUMPS. I was starting to get worried. Since purchasing this, I barely lose any hairs which has made my hair feel thicker. Not only that, it has dramatically reduced the amount of time it takes to detangle my hair. I LOVE this. 100% worth the money.
