I went back, and I was having a hard time choosing. I finally found one that was named the Yorkshire II Flat Styler brush, from Comare. That did it right there, I WAS SOLD!!! It was made to be The lady at Sally thought I was crazy lol

Its a mix of boar and nylon (no plastic tips) bristles, with a nice wooden handle, and picked up her hair very nicely. The bristles themself are 3/4 inch tall, are 4 inches long, and 1 1/2 inch wide, the handle itself is 5 inches long. The cost was $5.99. I bought mine at Sally Beauty Supply

Just thought I would let you know! Turbie loves it so much, its like a very nice massage and was falling asleep. I love the brush so much as well that Im thinking of picking up another for myself haha

Yep! I love that brush!! the one's that are pure boar that are really soft are good for a finishing brush. but i, like you need a more strong bristle at times. i have them in many different grades of coarseness. plastic bristles are bad. but i have one that has the nylon intermingled in with the boar bristle and it's my fav brush. it's made by "african beauty" i love it. got them all at sally's. you can also get motions leave in conditioner there too. for a great price! i went to beauty school way back when i was younger. decided it wasnt for me but still use alot of my skills learned to this day and the most valuable thing i learned was about SALLYS!
