I recently dropped it and it cracked in one place, so I bought a new one. The pin from the broken part is missing. I don't think there are any chips in the plastic. It might be able to be glued back together with plastic adhesive. Photo 7 is a comparison with the new one. The color seems to have faded slightly. I used to wash it frequently with my favorite brush. I washed it with a neutral detergent, but there is still some dirt and dust that I couldn't remove, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. - Brand: MAPEPE - Product Name: Detangling brush - Color: Purple - Features: 3D Super Fit Min, suitable for dry hair - Design: Flexible brush pins
