DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

Large oval, lightweight and ergonomic in the supplied descriptions, with a cushioned pneumatic base and natural wood feel. Short pins may be less suitable for very long hair; one reviewer experienced a detached pin.

LONGEVITY

A reviewer reports four years of use and says there were no other problems, but one pin detached and could not be reattached; customer service did not respond. TEK advises removing hair and storing the brush dry. No repair, parts-support, or lifespan commitment is supplied, so future wear is unknown.
