Wet Brush Pro Detangle Hair Brush

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend. He loves brushing his very long hair in the shower and was obsessed with mine. This particular blue is his absolute favorite color and was a perfect birthday gift! We were both so excited until we took it out of the packaging. The entire brush was sticking to our hands. You could see my entire finger print pressed into the brush. I’m a hairstylist so I know how wet brushes are suppose to be. I believe this is just a very old wet brush that hasn’t been stored properly. I tried get this sticky stuff off but it was getting worse. The return process was not your normal return and at this point I was afraid they wouldn’t accept the return with it being worse after trying to clean it. So then I used rubbing alcohol. Well that helped a bit but then removed the wet brush stamp. So I figured I’d ended up not getting my refund and then be out for a brush I already over paid for because I wanted this exact blue. It took an hour scrubbing the brush with rubbing alcohol and now it doesn’t even look very nice just so we didn’t have to find a print to print off a label wait for them to respond and maybe maybe not receive a refund. In the end it’s all unsticky, doesn’t look the greatest, but is usable.
