    I don't have a problem with breakage or splits since my hair is only shoulder length, but my favorite brush has a mixture of boar and plastic bristles. I think the boar bristles smooths my hair, distributes the natural oils, and helps with static, while the plastic bristles help the brush penetrate my hair so that it makes it all the way to my scalp.

    I've tried a couple of different bbb's and they just couldn't make it all the way through to my scalp. So, if I could only have one type of brush, and had to choose between a plastic or boar bristle brush, I would defintely choose the plastic one.

    If it works for you and it isn't doing damage, I don't' see why you should change things. I personally like a comb, but you aren't the only one who likes a plastic brush.

    I think my brush is plastic or nylon and it works perfectly for my hair. It’s very gentle and detangles thoroughly.

    I also prefer plastic brushes. You can hardly achieve the same level of smoothness on wooden surfaces, and I like this lack of texture

    If you prefer using a plastic brush, I too suggest a nice Denman. To untangle just after washing, the Wet Brush is truly wonderful. I don't much like it on dry hair though - the Denman is much better for that use.

    I have a Denman, though never use it. It tugs at my scalp as it rips through every tangle.

    The Wet brush, I much prefer, as it skips over tangles and so saves your scalp! You then (of course) manually need to take the knot out, and then it will go on brushing just fine. Minor tangles it can take out pretty easily. But things a Denman rips through (and shouldn't), this one doesn't.

    Just my experience.

    I love the Tangle Teezer equally as it performs similar to the Wet brush.

    I only use my Queenwill hair massager shampoo brush for brushing my hair since i have it. I brush inverted (bend forward) so it gives me a massage while i brush. I don't use anything else. It's enough. Detangling with fingers and then Queenwill. It's a ABS rubber material and my scalp loves it.

    I prefer plastic as boars brushes can't get through my hair to my scalp.
