I need an air brush with very stiff nylon (or similar - not plastic) bristles that will actually hold hair, not bend against it. Will this work?

Yes!! I need the same thing due to having very thick and lots of hair. I believe you will be very happy with it.

This brush is wonderful for styling and the bristles are very stiff. They will hold the hair and there are also different heat settings.

The nylon bristles are not stiff but they do hold the hair if your hair is shorter. It does great for my short hair.

I have short hair and chose the 3/4 inch size instead. With the brush feature, it holds the hair easily while you curl it. I guess if you like more body than curl, it may work.

It really is a matter of what you want it to do rather than type of hair. Combination of different bristles mixed work the best overall in my opinion. Size of brush is a matter of use as well. I have a regular size I keep in the bathroom and a small one for travel. Wonderful quality.

If you can find Conair Instant Heat Hot Brush 1" or smaller I would recommend it. I have the one that's 1 1/4" as Ihave long fine hair (shorter on the top) and I love it...have been using it for years....Good Luck

I was just looking at the bristles today and I'm pretty sure it's something like Rayon or Nylon, not horsehair. Regardless, It's an awesome tool! It gets into all the corners, nooks and crannies. I am not disappointed. If you can find horsehair for only an extra $20, I'd say go for it.

I don't know about the afro hair. I have somewhat curly/frizzy hair, and I find the wood bristles are a lot lower friction than plastic brushes. I have both this and the oval one, and I have small hands, so I find the smaller one easier to use when blow drying, but I bring this one to my hair salon, and my colorist LOVES this brush. She uses it to dry my hair. I hope this helps you decide if you want it.

The bristles are almost 1/2 inch long and stiff. I returned this unit and got the type that blows hot air instead of just having a heated barrel. The heated barrel burns my color treated hair.... the blower type unit does not.

No. The bristles are too densely packed and too short to get thru hair. I know because, upon reading your question, this nerdy gal went and tried on her own hair, lol. Nope. Didn't work. Not even a little. And I have rather thin and straight hair. Definitely not a hair brush.

Most definitely!!! I have very thin fine hair and they hold perfect so as coarse as a horses mane is it sure will.have fun :)

Bristles are just right -- not soft and not rock hard. This should work well for you.

Yes it's soft. My husband has a 3 inch beard and long hair and its really helping to tame both. I dont see and nylon. this is by far the best boar hair brush ive come across. Good luck.

Sounds like my hair. This brush will untangle you and smooth your hair nicely. If I get super crazy snarls in my hair - a windy day at the beach or something like that - sometimes I will use a different brush with sturdy teeth to comb those out and then go over my hair with this brush to get everything smoothed again.

The bristles are a soft plastic that is flexible. I think it works so well because it brushes through less hair at once. It works so much better and faster than using a wide tooth comb or regular brush. I will never use a regular brush again. Give it a try. It's well worth the cost.

Yes it will. My only thought was i would prefer for the brush to be held by the lower part of the plastic instead by the top near the brush hairs.

hi. I found a great solutions for "unwinding" hair (people and dogs) around the brush and around the wheels of the vaccuum. Go and get a sewing product called a "seam ripper". The concept is almost like a letter opener. Inexpensive. Better than unwinding the hair by hand or with a scissor. Let me know how you do with it.

The bristles are 1/4" long and have a little ball at the end. I use it when my hair is short and it works fine. I could see it getting tangled in your hair if you were using is on long hair.

I don't know for sure what the bristles are made of--my guess would be plastic or nylon. The handle is a hollow metal tube. Many reviewers said it bent easily, but I think if used appropriately it is pretty sturdy. I can see how it would bend if you whacked something with it.
