It wasn't possible to free the hair-it was just so tangled,matted,twisted etc plus being so fine,any attempt at pulling just broke it.

I ended up carefully cutting as close to brush as possible & managed to 'save' it to just on the shoulders.

Here is what the brush looked like after it was cut free

Round hair brushes should come with warnings! Beautiful colour hair.

That looks terrible, if you were able get the hair off the brush, it would have taken for ever.
