Bottom Line

This brush from the iconic British brand is one for the books. It detangles like an athlete.

Pros

Contours to the shape of your head to detangle and massage the scalp – this will make you scratch your scalp less. Combs through knots and tangles like butter. A solid choice for people with thick hair prone to big tangles.

Cons

This brush wouldn't suit curly or textured hair types because of the potential of causing breakage.

Bottom Line

Travel friendly detangling brushes for busy women. It doesn't go beyond this.

Pros

Helps to keep hair tangle-free during busy trips. Doesn't hurt your hair.

Cons

The brushes can't detangle large knots, which is why they should only be used for small tangles you might get while travelling.

Bottom Line

Destroys tangles and knots with speed. This brush is ideal for super-thick hair.

Pros

The nylon pins of the brush are protected to prevent damage to your hair. The cushion of the brush is soft and actually molds to your head for optimal detangling and brushing. Detangles quickly without putting pressure on your hair. It also removes static from your hair.

Cons

It bends too easily.

Bottom Line

Eliminates knots from wet hair. A good brush to use after swimming or a rainy day – but it is limited in scope.

Pros

The teeth of the brush were manufactured to deal with hair when it is wet. It won't lead to further breakage. Ideal to use after swimming or watersports.

Cons

This isn't a daily brush that you should use, especially when your hair is dry.

A unique detangling brush that doesn't break hair.

Pros

This is one of the few brushes that can be used on multicultural and ethnic hair. Doesn't break hair as much as other brushes. It has won an award from Allure Magazine for being an excellent brush.

Cons

Be careful to follow instructions on how to use the brush.
