Used to think those fancy pads were the way to go myself. Saw a buddy's setup with them and they looked real clean, figured my girls deserved the upgrade. But within a week mine were shredded too, just like yours. They started picking at the foam for whatever reason and it was game over. Went back to plain old pine shavings and never looked back. That $85 lesson stung but at least I know better now.

Hold on. You're a hairstylist? And you use a paddle brush on fine hair?

Did you toss them in oil before cooking too? That was my second mistake.

Wait, you're a hairstylist and you use a paddle brush on fine hair? That's wild to me. I've got fine hair too and everyone shames me for using one, but it just works. Never going back to those tiny round brushes.

My payment method got changed to a 2014 prepaid card and support still won't help.
