This $15 Hairbrush Is a Must For Minimizing Breakage

For as long as I can remember, brushing out my post-shower hair has been a struggle. Getting rid of my knots and tangles was painful and often resulted in breakage. However, when I jumped on the celeb-approved Tangle Teezer bandwagon a few years ago, brushing out my wet hair had never been so smooth. If you are a fan of the brand like I am, you know that Tangle Teezer doesn’t mess around when it comes to tangle- and frizz-free hair. The Ultimate Detangler Brush utilizes its long, flexible teeth to properly detangle hair without damaging hair. Plus, it comes in various bright colors—my favorite is millennial pink—to add a pop of color to your vanity.

My Hair Type

I have long, thick, color-treated hair. The brush is designed to suit all hair types but is especially perfect for thin, fragile hair.

The Benefits

Tangle Teezer’s Ultimate Detangler Brush is your wet hair’s new best friend. The brush is made with a patented teeth design, featuring both long and short bristles, that is specially designed to glide through wet hair. While the longer teeth remove larger tangles and prevent breakage, the shorter teeth smooth the hair and get rid of those tiny knots resulting in frizz-free, healthy-looking hair. 

The proof is in the numbers: The brush promises 80-percent fewer knots and tangles and is 97-percent gentler on the scalp than your typical hairbrush. The brush is even ergonomically designed for a steady and controlled grip that’s so comfortable it can even be used in the shower.

How to Use

Use the brush in the shower to distribute and draw through shampoo and conditioning treatments. Or, after you hop out, glide the brush from your roots to the ends in a downward stroke for frizz-free, post-shower hair. If you have curly hair, Tangle Teezer recommends purchasing the Ultimate Large Detangler Brush to tame and dry those natural curls.

The Bottom Line

The name speaks for itself. The Ultimate Detangler Brush successfully got rid of my post-shower, tangled hair. With other brushes, I used to worry that over-brushing to get rid of my knots would result in frizzy hair. I was shocked when my hair dried and was left significantly smoother and frizz-free.
