The tines get all tangled fairly quickly and are impossible to untangle.  I found a brush cleaner that works with two sides - one with large metal tines and one with fine plastic tines; works like a dream.

This is a quick and easy way to get you brushes clean!!! Love it

Try to keep my hairbrushes clean but major frustration with the tiny circle's that remain around the bristles. Happy to see the Philip B Hairbrush Cleaner does a great job in getting these and my hairbrushes have never been this clean. The metal rake tends to bend and criss cross each other which is quite annoying. Maybe I'm "raking" to hard, don't know. Its a little expensive but for me its worth it.

I am glad I purchased this brush cleaner. I lose a LOT of hair in my brushes and it is a nuisance. This gets them clean quickly. Well worth the price.

I’ve always used a comb to remove hair from my hairbrushes. I bought this on impulse and it works so well I’m about to buy another. It takes no time at all to remove even shorter hair (unlike with a regular comb). The wires are thin and sometimes the bend the wrong way, but it’s simple to put them back in place. Highly recommend. 

This is great for raking trapped hair out of my boar bristle brush. It's mile, and it works and it's small. I still have to wash my brush occasionally, but for getting out hair, this does a good job.

Helps clean my brushes. Great in keeping my brushes longer and my hair cleaner. Love the results.

I use this on my Mason Pearson Popular and do prefer it to the cleaner it came with

Hair and dust always gets trapped in my mason pearson, and the cleaner it came with is useless. This gets the job done!!

Great stocking stuffer! Necessity if you want to keep your brushes in great shape. I use it on some makeup brushes as well. Great quality.
