We receieved this hairbrush in late 2007 and it looked great.
It broke less than six months later.
The entire pad of bristles came unglued and fell out--rubber included. I was so angry and disappointed--what a piece of junk!
I have a wire wig brush from the dollar store that I got about nine years ago--it's still going strong and I've used it countless times on my dolls. Wouldn't waste my money on this piece of crap--especially if you order it, you'll have to pay shipping and it's not worth it. Go to the dollar store.
Grade: F

I have two hairbrushes from 2004; some of the bristles have fallen out, but most of them are still there. While I haven't tried other brands, my only complaint is that sometimes the hair gets stuck on the tips; I don't really know why. I have tried other types of brushes other than the wire wig brush, and while AG hairbrushes are great for detangling hair, the bristles seem too sparse to really smooth down the hair. I use a toothbrush like they do at AGP for the closeups.
Grade: B

I've never had any problems with my hair brushes - I've ended up with three over the years (misplacing, replacing, and then finding them again) and they're all fine. Two of them have two bristles missing from being used only on AG dolls over the years but considering how long I've probably had them I think it's fine. I've not had a problem with hair getting caught or the whole thing coming up - weird!

I have 3! I bought one with my first doll, then got another in a doll hair book, and another in a doll hair care ki. All AG. I have no complaints. I like them all, they're all different colours! Classic maroon, light purple with White bristle holder and dark purple with red bristle holder. None of them have faltered on the brushing front. They're all good and strong and have worked through lots of knots! The only thing is visual. A bit of paint is peeling off one of them - but yes, it's wooden! Not plastic!
Grade: A+

I think that if I was a "regular" customer, they'd exchange it no questions asked. I also had an AG brush that became useless once the entire pad popped out. I was able to exchange it at a store, no questions asked, and was told that this is a common problem. Since it's a common problem, that lowers my grade on this item to a D-, because it it's a known problem and the company doesn't address it with better manufacturing, that smells of Fail to me. I do happen to like the 'feel' of the brush in my hand, which keeps it from a total F grade.

My First hair brush from 2008 has Held up. Early Last year the Rubber Head started falling out. Today I ordered a New one. Also The paint on the brush Rubs off on your dolls! Be careful! The marks are easily removeable but It upsets me when I have to clean her everytime I brush her hair. Don't try to put a clear coat on it either. All the paint will come off.
My grade for it is c+ For it holding up for so long.

C-
Brushes nicely but mine happened to be one of the problem ones. If it wasn't for that experience, then I would have probably graded it as a B or higher.

C- I brought mine with the kit and the bristles bent or fell out like nothing. I got a cheaper wig brush for a dollar that works better than this one.

I'm not sure how this works, but I've had only one AG hairbrush ever. And I got it over 10 years ago at the same time I bought my first doll. It works fine, has forever. There are no bristles missing and the only real wear and tear is a few dings on the sides from so much use. Heck! I even have the original PC sticker still on the handle.

I've gone through six in the past five years. All have been replaced at the store, where I've been told that this doesn't happen often. I do not brush through bad doll hair – all my dolls' wigs are in pristine or near to pristine condition. I am careful when brushing the thicker hair and yet this happens often. The brushes usually fail within a few months due to the rubber piece falling out, at which point I will simply use the rubber/wire piece, ditching the handle altogether. I intend to exchange for a seventh brush soon.
ETA: Also, if you happen to step on one by accident, let's just say that your foot will hurt for hours on end and perhaps bleed.

When the wire bristles and rubber pad came out of the frame, I just glued it back in, usually with gorilla glue and they're going strong.

My brush is really old, it also still has the PC sticker on it many of the bristles have fallen out and the rubber parts are beginning to come off in little chunks. I have a spare one for when it really disintegrates. But I too, like the feel of it in my hands.

I have the brush that was my daughter's when she got her first doll so from the early 1990's. it's been used a lot and still works perfectly fine. All the pins are still there and the rubber pad is solid.
