I used the FL brush until I watched one of your videos on detangling. You used a Denman D38. Now I only use a Denman D38 and my detangling time is so much faster. I liked the FL brush but it did take forever, sad thing is I thought it was supposed to take forever. And I did have to use it while rinsing out my conditioner.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@alyariel9713]

Everybody always raved about Felicia and her brushes, but I never forgot how she destroyed Chime's (aka Hair Crush) hair putting in that Beautiful Textures: Texture Managability System mess. Chime had one of the longest, fullest heads of hair, and all her ish was DAMAGED afterwards!! She had to cut it all off! It was a huge controversy back then in the natural hair streets. She aint slick to me. 💅

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Wait... SHE did that?!?!

[@alyariel9713]

@@AfrikanHairGod Yup!! It was a HUGE debacle, and Chime had to delete the video of the styling itself. For the next year, her hair was so damaged and limp, it never recovered. She finally addressed it, and later had to big chop. Felicia Leatherwood preformed the hair service. I tagged you the vids in Discord.

[@redgarnet27]

That was her🫢🫢🫢🫢!!!

[@Virtuenow]

Well to be fair, the Beautiful Textures Naturally Straight System is essentially a formaldehyde free BKT. It requires high heat and is designed to keep the hair straight for 4-6 weeks. It seems like people had unrealistic expectations. People who want to maintain their curl pattern should not use these types of systems.

[@GIMJ84]

I'm SO GLAD YOU SAID IT. When I tell people that she literally made a knock off version of a horse brush or "tangle wrangler" and made out like she revolutionised something that you could get get for £5-7 at an equestrian store for many years before she made hers, .......it annoys me so much.

[@__Selena__]

Lmao I’m happy you brought that up cause I was gonna say I tried the horse brush almost a decade ago and it was like maybe $6 online 😂 maybe even cheaper but I don’t remember

[@alyariel9713]

😂yup!! Been telling folks it was a horse brush for years!! Might as well use Mane n Tail while we're at it, and have a whole Horse Beauty Routine: Kentucky Derby Boujie edition 💅🐴😂😂

[@nstiNctiVnatur]

I was thinking the same! 😂

[@Tiffronee]

Ok, I brought the original, “tangle wrangler” for $3 at a Tractor & Supply store 11 years ago….I didn’t want to spend the money for Felicia’s brush. The girlies on the hair forums were talking about it was a knock off then.

[@likah4936]

I was literally just talking to my boyfriend about this TODAY 😂

[@MyMamasChild2]

This brush ripped a lot of my hair out. Still recovering. Everyone was saying how good it is. It only belongs in the trash

[@DeeDeeKarol]

Same here, I threw it away 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Elle-qf8qj]

I love the FL brush, but I finger detangle first. But I finger detangle first before using any type of comb or brush. And I only use it w/my hair saturated w/conditioner.

[@ksha]

I feel that Felicia bush is only for loose patterns. For kinkier types, I'd stick to the Denman brush.

[@smfarrie2943]

I found the Unbrush. Game changer for me.

[@Spokentruths725]

@@smfarrie2943 i was thinking about trying that. Im nervous though because it doesn’t have the cushion right?

[@denyshadials5702]

@@smfarrie2943 It’s a fantastic shower brush. Second to my denman paddle brush, which I prefer to use out of the shower.

[@LoXena]

I tried the FL brush too and the bristles are too stiff. I like the Tangle teezer

[@quasar4472]

mines 4c and it works fine- I tend to use it more when my hair is damp or when I'm doing detangling in the shower. I like using it vertically like how Narada uses the paddle brush

[@jillruff1655]

The way you detangled with such care & consideration just gave my heart such joy!🥲 If only i had you in my _REAL_ life... you've taught me sooooo much! 😘✌🏾

[@AhmadsRevenge]

I’m side eying my brush now lol…I use the FL with a lot of conditioner going vertical to horizontal, so I know what you mean about it pulling your strands. I haven’t had much breakage but then again i’m 3c/4a, medium density, fine strands. When I detangle from a protective style (or if I have really tangled hair that week) I start with the tangle teezer brush (which is much softer on my strands) then use the FL to fully get all the shed hair from the root. FL has been the only tool to fully get at my roots, but now I need to try that D38. It went through you clients hair with ease! Thank you for sharing, it shows the true nature of that brush on tighter textures.

[@goodjudygirlfriend]

I only use the Felicia brush when my hair has conditioner in it, not for styling.

[@tabbyb3514]

Same! 😊

[@jjayjae_]

That’s interesting. I only use the brush for styling, similar to how some stylists use a three row comb or denman to define curls. I detangle with another tool, usually a paddle brush or the tangle teezer with a handle, while I have conditioner in my hair. It’s rare that I use a brush to style my hair, but when I do it’s that one.

[@kjeneen79]

You are correct. This brush is absolutely suppose to be used on soaking wet hair with conditioner in it. Not on damp or dry hair. And it is not meant for styling.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

@kjeneen79 show me where it's directed to be used as such. Felicia Leatherwood is literally using her brush in a video for styling. Yall can use it how you want but y'all just magically came up with these requirements for it. I don't want any tool that can only be used one way

[@DK-qj7cr]

I only used my FL in shower with PLENTY of conditioner ☝🏽🤷🏽‍♀️

[@tiffanydaneen]

Yes on dry or even damp hair it’s a no go

[@tabbyb3514]

​@@tiffanydaneen right! You are definitely right about that! This brush HAS to be used on super wet hair with a moisturizing product for detangling That is why it did not preform well on the client in this video because her hair is too dry for this particular detangling brush

[@HeartBr8kRach]

I’ve been using this brush for years and it’s my fav & makes detangling a breeze. I have 4c bra strap length hair. I never knew so many ppl were dissatisfied 😮

[@quasar4472]

to be honest, it's my favorite brush. I use it vertically than horizontal when detangling just like how u used that paddle brush.

[@dovehaven4840]

Yeah I bought a knock off version a week ago and it worked perfectly fine. Hair was detangled and defined. My hair is looser than the woman shown in the video so maybe that's why. The brush glided through that one part of her hair so it definitely works for some.

[@JessicaSmith-ie7cm]

The FL brush works just fine on my hair and my daughters hair. I have have thick COARSE hair. I have really realized when it comes to haircare it’s literally “whatever works for YOU”.

[@lashawnames9066]

I do the same thing. It works like a dream👌🏾

[@tabbyb3514]

​@dovehaven4840 100% agree Alot of things don't "work" when they are being used incorrectly This video clearly shows the clients hair is not moisturized This brush works on soaking wet hair with a moisturizing product with ALOT of slip The brush works, it's the person using it incorrectly that is the issue 😊

[@AfrikanHairGod]

This Hair stylist doesn't know how to use a brush....

[@nami_ifé]

Damn I did not know people hated this brush, so far it’s the only brush that hasn’t ripped my hair out. This is so interesting. Btw I do have type 4 hair

[@I_am_Musiq94]

That’s the brush I use to detangle BUT I use a bunch of conditioner. I would never try it how you are using it lol

[@tabbyb3514]

Say it louder for the people in the back!! The brush HAS to be used on extremely wet hair with product that has ALOT of moisture, it does not work on dry hair like this client shown in the video 🤨

[@AfrikanHairGod]

No that's the only way that y'all can make it work... There's no suggestions or instructions for it to only be used wet with conditioner. I've even seen Felicia use it on dry hair...

[@AfrikanHairGod]

@@designeravi they are also saying that they've been ripping their hair out with it since switching to my recommendation

[@tylerellis5513]

It's funny and also interesting, a lot of the highly rated and trending natural hair tools and products are actually not that good 🤔

[@michelleeja412]

Yes indeed! I think the same thing! Some people get caught up in rah rah of KZbin land and believe everything they see. It's a public forum created to influence the masses. Some can not differentiate facts from fiction and fall right into the fish bowl. And proceed to follow like sheep knowing that it's hurting their hair! But swear it's working for them 😮

[@Mimi-zd8ud]

For me(the client), as Mr.Narada said the brush worked for me pretty well(with lots of deep conditioner applied first and small as hell sections🤣) up until recently but now yea no. I’ll still try to use it in the coming weeks out of loyalty and the fact that it still works on the looser parts of my hair, but I already have a denman brush shipped and I’m just waiting for it to arrive🤣.

[@Virtuenow]

Is the Denman the big paddle brush he used? Bc if it’s the regular Denman, that pulls hair out too.

[@Mimi-zd8ud]

Oh no it’s the smaller version of the big paddle brush, it’s called the D38P. The D38 is probably too big for me to use at current seeing as I can’t easily reach my hair at the angles that Mr.Narada can.@@Virtuenow

[@Virtuenow]

@@Mimi-zd8ud ahh, I just looked it up. Looks like a good paddle brush.

[@imekaevans9066]

[@DeeDeeKarol]

Wow you are truly exposing these folks ❤️

[@suzyhair1158]

I tried finger detangling and palming my hair, much smoother and less tangled ends! Thanks, Narada.

[@emmylewis2164]

The brush is a good shower brush for me. Outside the shower, not so much. Yesterday I used it in the shower and my hair was thoroughly detangled. But once i got out and started putting mini twists in my head , the brush couldn't go through my hair as effortlessly. So i think i need a different detangling comb for outside the shower

[@cassenav]

I lost half of my density from using this brush. I didn't even realize it before it was too late. Currently keeping my hair in chunky braids until it comes back :(

[@nichie3897]

Love how you're dressing detangling lately cause that's when most breakage occurs. I can't wait for your insight on popular detangling tools e.g tangle teezer

[@STP255]

Lol yea I use the brush the long way with my hair fully covered with product. I don’t go horizontal until my hair is fully detangle. Over time I noticed so much hair loss. I’m using a wide tooth comb before the brush and seeing less shed. The FLW brush is great for hitting my roots, but I’m seeing so much more hair it pulls out. I get it -

[@canada7082]

I used Felicia, WITH TONS OF WATER & CONDITIONER, for 2 years and it ripped so much of my hair out over time. I didn’t realize what it was doing until it was too late. At your recommendation I’ve since switched to the D38 ( smaller version). It glides through wayyyy easier. Looking fwd to healing all of these broken strands. 😢

[@j.danielle4830]

Oh wow. I actually prefer the Felicia leather wood over the red and black Denman. Mainly because the Denman always breaks on me. But now I’m wondering, have I never had good brush? I’m going to try the D38 and see if it makes a difference.

[@marleyhill34]

Smaller sections.

[@Aniexo_]

Omg I do too! I bought it by his suggestion and it doesn’t work for me. I always end up going back to the the FL. Now I’m trying to get the unbrush

[@karmikarm1079]

YES YES YES! I don’t like that brush but I thought it was just me because of so many love it. It literally rips my hair out and it’s low density as it is. I’m good with the tangle teezer.

[@Natasha.7729]

I've been enjoying the Kazmaleje Paddle Comb. What are your thoughts on that one Narada?

[@kdubbs5216]

Uh oh! I think you just opened up a can...but it needed to be said. I thought it was just my hair. Full disclosure- I have hair similar to the client's but my hair is also not the same texture all over. I was actually given the brush by Felicia herself when I met her in Alt years ago a bit before it was put on the market. It doesn't work for my hair. NO brush similar to hers works for my hair. Glad to know that you listed an alternative.

I have a Felicia Leatherwood brush, but I must use my denman d38 first which probably defeats the purpose. The way the Felicia Leatherwood locks in my hair and doesn’t move 🤣

[@KarissaGraham-Blackman]

I had a stylist that followed bgc ripe through my hair so bad with this brush my scalp was sore for days!!! I lost a lot of hair and she had the nerve to look into the shampoo bowl after she ripped my hair out and said that was a good amount of shed hair! I looked at her in disbelief. I’m still recovering. I had to get inches cut off from following BGC. My hair is just now starting to get back to normal. I’ll stick with my leave in, cream and oil. I just need to make sure to clarify the hair to remove the build up and I’m good.

[@ItsAJarofJam]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I have tried the D38 and I am still getting the hang of it. For the FL brush I use it like a pick if that makes any sense. I also use it after predetangling throughout my wash routine and leading up to condition. I don't experience much hairfall or pulling. However, I will consider yiur review during my next wash day. Thank you!

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Thank you for sharing and for watching!

[@mochajones338]

I graduated from the Felicia Leatherwood Brush to the Denman D38 based on your recommendation. I have been struggling for years to effectively detangle my hair. It used to take me 3 hours or more to detangle. Now I can detangle in about 30 mins. Thank you so much for this video!

[@sarahmathieu6122]

This video is right on time. I was just about to get one; and I have 4c thick, dense hair

[@lilijean5321]

I have "4c" hair and I've had the FL for about 3 years I think. Since I do mini braids for a few months and rebraid each of them individually after a few weeks, I like it because it is small and can easily go through the tiny braids sections (after I finger detangle). But when my whole head is loose, I can't use it, takes too long, even when I'm in the shower with a lot of conditioner. The Unbrush works really well for me with larger sections (like the one in this video) in and out of the shower.

[@canigetit2008]

I own all of the popular brushes. This Felicia Leatherwood brush is my favorite to use on my tailbone length hair. I have 4a- 3c texture and its fine strands.

[@curlychronicles]

Here for this because I need to know what brushes to stay away from. 😅

[@jonest1627]

I love the FL brush for popping curls and getting condition through but I dont think its best for detangling.

[@ChloexLashay]

I agree, I have thick, coily type 4 hair, and I fell for the hype. I used that brush twice, and it's been sitting in the back of my drawer ever since.

[@TextureLove]

I have all the variations of the Felicia Leatherwood brush and I really like the newer versions like the one in this video. I use the method that @powerinyourcurl does. I brush vertically to detangle and I brush horizontally to define my curls. I do have looser curls though so I know that is a big factor. The Denman brush doesn’t work well in my hair so I prefer using the FL brush.

[@Ossouko]

It may work better on looser curls. It only works on short hair if you have very tight curls imo. Mine just sitting there😅 If you have neck or shoulder length don’t do it. ‘It don’t move’😅😂

[@Mimi-zd8ud]

Lol where were you two weeks!?🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

[@kktheonlyonestephens5097]

I love your content, on this I must disagree. I hadn’t used a brush on my 4c (exactly like this young lady) in 20+ years until I found the FLeatherwood brush! The best part of the brush for me is that it creates curls! I only brush my hair while wet or there will be tears. IJS 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@ashlelatece]

Interesting! I love my FL brush but I also detangle in small sections. Maybe that’s why? The paddle brush you are using has caught my attention tho lol what is that?

[@msmini1585]

After watching this I'm ready to throw my brush away. It's not a Felicia Leatherwood brush, but it works the same way. And lately it hasn't been working. It won't go through the strands, just like in this video. I've probably been sitting up here damaging my hair, and didn't even know it! No wonder I have all these damn fly-a-ways!🤬

[@NyeshaMcCauley]

I'm sOOOOOOO glad you made this video. I was thinking it was me because everybody was raving about this brush.

[@michelleDAjourno]

I bought the FL brush when it first debuted and I found that the tool only worked for me when I used it vertically. My curl pattern is faaar from loose but the density is low. If I’m being honest, I don’t think I’m brush girl. I find myself grabbing for my old Hercules Sägemann seamless wide-tooth comb more often than not. Now, I’m low-key curious about those blue KAZMALEJE combs that landed in Target this summer and the Denman in this video. Hmmm.🤔

[@cmw1336]

Now THAT brush to me is trash! 1st of all, it weighs like 10 lbs - it's so freaking heavy! And I'm terrified to drop it. That plastic/ceramic-y material seems like it would shatter in a million pieces if I dropped it on my hard shower floor.

[@aishac919]

Stick with the Denman38. I have the Kazmalajee and it doesn’t really work for my family’s hair texture. I bought the D38 based on Narada’s recommendation and love it. But to each their own.

[@BeYoutifulBombshell]

@@cmw1336😂😂😂😂 it hurts if it is dropped on your foot so chances are 🤷🏽‍♀️ but it is a great brush for a first detangling if you don’t like finger detangling.

[@NanaJaviJay]

The Kazmaleje brush is honestly my most favorite detangling brush because it takes me about 10 minutes to detangle my entire head... however, my only downfall is the weight of the brush. If you drop it, it will cause a lot of noise, and the pointed end will cause panic so move your feet out of the way! It is shatter-proof, which I like, too.

[@cmone5200]

Have you tried the Purple Tangle Teaser for 3C/4C hair? Id love to know your opinion because it does a great job detangling my hair but sometimes i wonder if it pulls out too much in the process

This is interesting cuz I have her updated brush and the ez detangler I believe. I lose a lot of hair detangling and I thought it was my technique (which might be true 😅) but now I'm questioning the brush. It does tend to better/more easily detangle the looser textures on my head

[@jjayjae_]

I wholeheartedly agree with this review. I don’t even use the brush to detangle, I just use it as an alternative to the three row comb when I’m doing a wash and go, and even then it’s rare because I usually style with my fingers.

[@HotCocoBangbang]

I have the brush, but I only use it on blown out hair. I wouldn't dare use it on wet hair because it's way too stiff it will definitely rip hair out (found that out the hard way lol)

This brush is amazing! There are many different versions of it - its pretty much the same as the curl keeper brush and Janeke brush. I have the Janeke because it's easily available where I live and its my go to

[@BeYoutifulBombshell]

What do you like about this brush for detangling that sets it apart as the best?

[@Michelle-dm3nl]

​@@BeYoutifulBombshell the teeth are long and flexible and spaced out, more so than other brushes. I think that's why it's just easy to work through tangled hair and feels very gentle without breakage and I can detangle my whole head in 15 min on damp-wet hair. I have tight type 4 hair that's well past my collar bone blown out and medium density. Works well on both moisturized/damp/wet hair. I can tell it's mostly shed hair coming out. If you have kids this is the only one I can use on my toddler with zero tears and it's very light compared to the denman d38. Cons: You do have to diligently brush in all directions to get all the shed hair out in a given section because it's more spaced out you will miss some shed hairs. It's also a bit flimsy for what it is and overpriced. The cons are not a big deal for me because I prioritize less breakage, less drama at bath time for my kid and I still can detangle quickly. I would keep the unbrush for wet detangling and use my denman d38 for blow drying but I don't mind having two seperate brushes and having to potentially replace the unbrush. If you want a brush that does it all and will last forever go with the denman. The denman price:performance is a bit better.

[@BeYoutifulBombshell]

@@Michelle-dm3nl omg! Can I just say thank you so much for this thorough and detailed review? You definitely have influenced me!! 💕 I am excited to try the Unbrush for wash day and children’s wash day. Finding the right brush is just so hard but it’s necessary to avoid a difficult and unnecessarily long wash day. I want our self care sessions to be relaxing and therapeutic, especially for my children. Do you think a dupe of this brush from Amazon or another site would be just as good?

Same, i was confused when i saw it again. Glad you said something i thought i was miss remembering lol

[@alisianaaxxx4443]

i only use this brush on wet hair with conditioner and i love it.

[@Nescnobody]

Can do a review on a the unbrush and tutorial on shampooing hair and how often each hair type should wash their hair ? Please and thank you

[@CammyjOfficial]

I have tried this brush and it didn’t work for me. My friend raved about it so I went out and got it. I experienced what you showed on your client. Now I will say this, when my friend used it… it does look like it is tearing out her hair every time, but she loves it so more power to her.

[@kaylean39]

I used one of these brushes years ago. I had so much breakage! Hairs all over my shoulders and the bathroom sink. I went back to a Denman

[@kenyaforeman513]

Hi can you do a review on the unbrush

[@TMYPiscesSunandMoonRising5548]

It's the "did you test this sh!! at all" for me. 😂😂😂.

[@devonhoward333]

D38 Denman or Unbrush for detangling?

[@growthrulove]

I've only seen people use this brush when the hair is wet from the shower.

[@MissJ74]

Yep my old Felicia brush went in the trash years ago 🗑️

[@nawlincurly]

I used a brush similar to her’s and it ripped my hair out. I stopped using it. I bought a brush like the second one and it’s totally different! No ripping and my hair is smoother and more defined

[@sunflower5858]

I HATED this brush. It will not go through my hair at all unless I force it, and at that point it’s ripping my hair out. The brush is literal garbage 🚮. Best brush I used is the Spornette Ion paddle brush that you recommended! 💯

[@BeYoutifulBombshell]

Have you used the Denman D38 as well? Wondering how the Spornette Ion paddle brush compares to the Denman D38 if you have used both.

[@sunflower5858]

@@BeYoutifulBombshell I haven’t tried the D38 yet. I was going to get it but it was sold out at the time so I went with the Spornette. But I’m curious about the D38 because the bristles don’t have those tiny balls at the ends like the Spornette does. But I’ve had zero issues with it. It’s very gentle which I need because my strands are fine.

[@BeYoutifulBombshell]

@@sunflower5858 I’m curious about the Spornette now based on your review of it. Gentle and thorough detangling is first and foremost what I need in a brush.

[@sunflower5858]

@@BeYoutifulBombshell it’s worth a try for your hair!

[@tmcurly]

I bought that stupid-brush 2 years ago in yellow 😳. I am in Australia and here this white man a stylist sells it for $40. It’s still sealed😭! I use a mini power paddle d38p. My hair is not long so I am thrilled Denman now has a petite version 😍!! For detangling I use the traditional Denman with 5 rows. I prefer mini brushes 😍… Denman is the best!

[@lovejoneshoney]

My stylist recommended the FL brush so I've used it for about 4-5 years. At first, I thought this was the best brush ever! But then I started to notice I was experiencing way too much breakage after detangling. I still didn't think anything of it. Using it with lots of conditioner in my hair, it worked well. However, I also noticed using it to help with styling not so much. I used it on my daughter's hair and she would complain that I was pulling her hair too much. So I recently bought a Wet brush and I'm like bye Felicia. Sorry, I gotta let you go. I can't believe how well it glides in my and my daughter's hair. She doesn't complain at all. And I don't have a bunch of hair on the brush looking like I'm suffering hair loss. btw I'm going to check out your shop and buy a paddle brush. I've been turned away from using that kind of brush. I'm looking at how fast you did your client's hair. I can't believe I've been using a horrible brush all these years.

[@mahreek8650]

I just switched back to paddle brush after using the Felicia leatherwood brush for a few years. I have breakage all on the top of my head and have a while to recover from it.

[@1Themba]

I'm glad I saw your video, I was thinking of buying that brush.

[@CherryBerry383]

This and that EZ detangler brush, I didn’t like either of them!

[@shelly.v.247]

Thank you for reviewing the FL brush and confirming what I was feeling about it too. The commentary in this video had me on the ground! The she’s bald and ain’t got no hair. Well she got a little hair. Yeah she ain’t got no hair….SENT ME‼️🤣‼️🤣‼️

[@BeYoutifulBombshell]

😂😂😂 me too!

[@ladydipset88]

Denman and Tangle Teezer are my go-to brushes for my 4C hair.

[@dimpledintrovert]

Ugh...I bought one of these brushes from Amazon. I used it a few times and felt like it was damaging my hair. Too much pulling. The brush just sits in a drawer now. Waste of money. I'm glad you did a video on it.

[@honks9484]

Whatt??? That brush used to be my holy grail when it first came out!😂 btw I have 3c/4a so my hair isn’t too loose, but it still got the job done in like 10-15 minutes for me.

[@BeYoutifulBombshell]

What holy grail are you using now? Any reason you stopped using it?

[@roki5337]

I wave that brush and I dont reach for it often either. The handle is uncomfortable to hold with wet, slippery hands. If you dont hold it at a horizontal angle it will become rigid and snap ends. Hair has to be pre detangled. You can't use a big section. You cannot use it with blow drying as it will melt. It is supposed to mimic figer detangling but it doesn't. The bristles are ridgid. It is okay for looser textures. That are not tangle prone and straight styles. I have 4a/4b hair and my daughter's are 4b and 4c this did not work for wet styling and detangling either.

[@TiggysTC]

Oh my God! 😮I literally just received my Felicia Featherwood brush a week ago and I’m about to try it right now as I’m washing and deep conditioner in my hair.!!Wish me luck. 🙏🏾🙏🏾😂😂😂

[@SkittlesStarburst]

Did u like it?

[@nubianqt86]

The brush works very well for me. But different (brush) strokes for different folks. Haha! Thanks for the vid.

[@LaBicho23]

Honestly I have a similar brush and it is the reason why my hair is so long and full, I use it in the shower with a good conditioner

[@bayougurlD]

Thank you for this, I just lost mine and I was about to order a new one.

[@CurlyTonya]

I love it for my WNG…..but I have to section, comb with wide tooth comb and then brush.

[@RichRootz]

I think her brush was good when she 1st came out. I had one or the original brushes now that they sell them on Amazon and her website the brush is much harder.

[@rachelm.3173]

I still use the same Felisha Leatherwood brush I bought years ago.

[@kapparhotau181]

I tried the FL brush with soak and wet hair on small sections and it works better but it does take time. I may have to try the denman paddle brush. I tried the OG denman brush but that takes alot of time too. I guess with looser curls it works better.

[@alimc5382]

Okay thank you I’ve been using this brush for years the 1st version in 2012/13 and the new one….not saying it thinned my hair buttttt. Now trying to switch up my tools and techniques. 🎉

[@mariejiminez1733]

Come through and detangle like a southern grandmother🎉😅

[@Mimi-zd8ud]

Just curious Mr.Narada but I noticed a white/grey looking patch at the root of my hair when you were splitting that patch of hair trying to get the Felicia Leatherwood brush to go through, is that me turning grey or is it product? @AfrikanHairGod

[@nickimillennium]

“She’s not bald headed, she got some hair but…she ain’t got no hair.” 😂😂😂😂

[@Mindthatbiz]

This brush was sooooo rough on my head years ago. I shed so bad but felt like I had to keep brushing because it wasn’t detangling a thing. I used into once and never again. To be fair I have long fine medium density type 3c hair so I thought it just wasn’t for me. My niece with 4a short high density fine hair absolutely loves it. I guess different strokes. Heck my hair doesn’t even like most denmans.
