My mom purchased 3 of these hair brushes in the early 60s . I have other hair brushes, but this hair brush is the BEST ever ! If and when my hair looks limp and I might be having a Bad Hair Day, all I have to do is take my Lady Catherine brush, and brush my hair, lean forward, brush gently , lift my head back up and my hair looks ALIVE !!! One time I accidentally took Mom's brush home with me ! I had to mail it back to her ASAP. I'm going to order a new one. I do hope it's as good as the one...
