This is my unpaid review of the original detangling brush: Tangle Teezer. Can you marry a hair brush? Because seriously, the Tangle Teezer hair detangling brush has changed my life.

I first used it over a month ago now, and as it worked those crunchy knots out of my hair, and smoothed the cuticle... I cannot kid, Hallelujah began loudly in my head - with music, and different parts of the choir singing their pitch and all.
The same thing happened when I used it in the shower tonight. I am feeling light and happy since that first Thursday night I used the Tangle Teezer.
The frustration, the trials, the money... all of it could have been avoided had I had this hair brush six months ago.

The Tangle Teezer brush is truly remarkable.

I did not buy the Tangle Teezer hair detangling brush from the website < http://www.tangle-teezer.com.au/ > because, even though I would've been willing to spend $30+ on this little miracle, I am smarter than to just accept the first price I stumble upon. So, with a discount for being a student, and the Tangle Teezer already being half the price of the Tangle Teezer website, I got my lovely black Tangle Teezer for $14.

Tangle Teezer - the original tangle teaser brush

I can use the Tangle Teezer when my hair is completely wet, towel dried, half dry and half damp, or completely dry with the same results: a fantastic, painless, FASTER way to detangle my hair. I haven't had a crunchy knot in ages. I still get knots of course, my hair is just that type of fine strand hair. But, I'm no longer concerned by the knots. It no longer takes me 40 minutes per half of my head. And I have really fine, thin hair! I still need to use my fingers to help separate the more difficult knots out, but that is to curb even the small amount of hair fall which occurs with the brush.

Don't expect miracles if you just grab your matted pony tail and pull the brush through your hair - you have to know how to brush your hair to detangle, as I show you in the next paragraph. Be smart about it, and it will work for you.

The Tangle Teezer has very soft (malleable) long and short bristles which bend with the pressure you place on your hair. When you run into knots you will find it makes a sound that reverberates around inside the hollow centre of the palm grip - but it isn't ripping out your hairs, it is just the sound of it brushing. I suggest that like me, you separate your hair into half, then into quarters from there and starting on ONE quarter of ONE side, start brushing your hair when knotty GENTLY from about 10 centimetres from the bottom - detangle that first before going another 10cm up - and so-on, so-forth. By doing this, you're working on smaller sections of your hair and making it easier for the brush to do its magic. I have very long hair, so I need to start from the base and work my way up - otherwise, it makes detangling too difficult. To make it easier to brush the hair at the nape of my neck, I throw my head forward so my head is facing the ground (sit down if you can't stand) and brush from the nape down AFTER detangling the ends, as above.

I cannot recommend this brush enough for adults and mothers for their children. Say good bye to child-hood hairbrush-time tears!

The split ends I started noticing when time and time again I had to spend 40 minutes brushing one side, then another 40 minutes for the other side of my head have stopped. As in, I haven't noticed any new split ends appear.

The brush smooths the cuticle really well,

doesn't break hairs,

is gentle enough for use on children who like me when I was little, had hair this knotty and wretched,

can be used with:

wet hair,

dry hair,

semi-dry and damp hair,

curly hair,

fine hair,

thick hair,

thin hair.

For a brush that doesn't look very special, it has saved my sanity as well as my hair follicles. And I mean that with all my heart.
