I got about a week ago a brush from the Goody Styling Therapy collection, the Add + Shine brush, based on recommendations from the cnapp forum.

I have tried and failed over and over again with the Denman D3 which is recommended on all the forums I visit. It is so hard to get the Denman through my hair, it rips hair out. It gets out shed hair but also gets out, um, non-shed hair.
It can never slide through.
So I got this brush, which has fewer teeth spaced farther apart and whose bristles are soft. Soft soft bristles, very pliable rubber. The cnapp forum owner said in fact she broke some of her bristles off just by putting the brush in with her other accessories and I guess it got roughed around in there, so I'm being careful with mine. This brush also cannot slide through my hair. I wasn't expecting it to. A single finger cannot slide root to tip in my hair, so why would 20 bristles be able to? But I can go through a longer section of hair each time with this brush (after comb-detangling first). But the best part about this brush is that it does not break off my hair. No tiny little Os and Ss like I saw with the Denman. It also removes shed hair, though it takes 2-4 passes. If leaves my hair fluffy, like a really light blowout kinda. My twists feel so light and fluffy and soft on my neck.
So for the few of you out there who have not had success with the Denman, you might want to give this one a try. It's about the same price. I got mine off of Ebay.
