I bought this to get volume in my fringe when I still had it, and I have silky fine hair. It works wonderfully, and is useful when I want to work it more through the rest of my hair. However, this works best on my hair when I am using it for the fringe for anywhere else - that is not the comb's fault, but my hair (it never holds anything). The comb is easy to use and does not make me cringe, as though my hair is splitting, and being soft bristles, it is really nice to use to smooth down the top of the piece of hair that has been teased. Worth it, too, at such a low price.
