I bought this for my daughter. she has thick, coarse , wavy hair and it performs very well. personally I have a mason Pearson and I think this is a good substitute for a fraction of the cost

Exposed the brush to low heat from my hairdryer for all of 3 seconds and it started to smell like burning rubber.

I didn't want to do this. I really, really wanted to love this brush. I had seen the brand on sites like Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus. I felt confident that since this is a brand that bases its products on boar bristles that this brush would be a safe bet. Oh, how wrong I was.The version I bought was the oc7 which is the boar bristle and nylon brush. Before purchasing this brush i bought a pure BBB from Widu which cost 80 dollars (90 if you include their exorbitant shipping cost) but it has been worth every penny. Anyway, I decided I wanted a boar and nylon to add volume and smooth at the same time and obviously I chose this one. When it arrived I was shocked at the initial appearance. There were long bristles sticking out everywhere and the boar bristles were so flimsy. The nylon pins were sharp and crudely cut and they scraped up my scalp. And then there was the smell. It reeked of a tire shop which is a sure sign of low quality rubber. The bristles also started falling out after the first use.I contacted Amazon immediately and they sent out a replacement. I received the replacement today and it was absolutely no better. Smelled terrible and bristles coming out. This is an absurdly over-priced item for what you get. Save up for a widu, a Kent or even a mason Pearson. I'm asking for a refund so I can put my money toward a widu mixed bristle brush. It's only 30 dollars more and you don't lose bristles from day 1.

I wish I had this brush years ago. Gently brushes the hair without pulling and tugging. I have thick hair and it works better than any brush I have ever owned. Love it!

Having used boar brushes before, I know they perform best once “broken in.” Just simply soak the new brush’s bristles in lukewarm water for 5-10ish minutes and then let air dry. And wah-lah - perfect shiny hair! Love Ibiza’s brush quality!

I love, love, LOVE Ibiza brushes. But this one really stinks. Literally. It smells. I cannot get rid of the smell no matter what I have tried. I can't even use it, because my hair still smells for a while after I've used it. I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of it. :(

The bristles already look a little bent annd splayed outward and aren’t as firm as I would like. The packaging was just about destroyed upon arrival, and the brush head picks up dry shampoo so quickly it already looks old. I expected more for such an expensive brush.
