Product Review: Tangle Teezer

My Review

The tangle teezer is absolutely amazing! It is a bit pricey for a brush or comb but the price is relative. You literally will not need another comb or brush ever. Unless you use a comb for parting your hair. Otherwise, this is all you need. I have found that you can detangle wet or dry hair with the tangle teezer. In the past I could never even think about combing my hair while dry. But not with the tangle teezer. Wet or dry it gets the job done. Another great thing about it, is that you pull out less hair! It does a great job of ridding me of shedded hair but I don't get a great amount of snapping and pulling on healthy strands. Chelsyea asked if it is painful or hurts. Not one bit. As I explained in the video, the bristles move with your hair and they are very flexible! You can even get right down to the roots. And it is all very painless! Also, I love how EASY it is to clean! Pull out the hair, and rinse out the rest. That is all :) In addition, it comes in MANY different colors! Hot pink, black, purple with sparkles, blue, green, etc. Read more about the product here!

Other Review:

Price: $10 plus tax ($10.86 for me)

Please note that is is great for ALL types of hair. Ladies with long-flowing glorious locks, check out this review,

Okay people, this brush is going in my will along with a few other beauty hg's. I read a bunch of the reviews and decided to give it a try.

I didn't think it was accomplishing much since it didn't 'pull' like a normal brush. Well, I ran my fingers through my very long waist length hair and to my enjoyment....not a snarl to be found!


I have very fine, very long hair that just loves to tangle up if I even think about a knot. I've tried soooo many different products and brushes but I will never buy another 'regular' brush ever ever again :)


I plan on using on my 2 year old as well, she has fine curly hair that tangles occasionally. You gotta start em early :)

 

I love that the focus of the creation of this hair tool revolves around limiting cuticle damage! According to the website, 

The damage trying to tear tangles and knots out of your hair with an unsuitable brush cannot be underestimated. Vigorous brushing will ‘rough’ up and damage the hair’s cuticle wrecking your hair’s chances of looking healthy and shiny. The cuticle or the outermost layer of the hair is a hard layer of over-lapping protective scale like cells (think of them as tiles on a roof) and are the front line when it comes to protecting your hair’s internal structure from damage which is imperative for bouncy, sexy and touchable hair. As well as brushing, cuticle sabotage can be caused by over-use of heated appliances, chemicals and hair accessories such as clips leading to split ends and a lack lustre and frizzy appearance.

For mothers of children with natural hair:

They offer the magic flowerpot which is, "a hairdressing first - a revolution in children’s hair care guaranteed to end their fear of tears,". It is absolutely adorable. It makes combing out your daughters hair fun for them and cute for their room :)





 

What do others say?

Pros

• detangles the worst knots
• gives a good scalp massage
• can tell it is not damaging to hair
• barely lose any hair

Cons

• sensitive scalps may not like the bristles on their scalp
• sounds like Velcro running through hair (although it is not ripping it out)
• very hard to find cons!!!

So I hope this is helpful! There are TONS of reviews on the net. And most of them are positive!

Chronicles of a Natural Apostolic: My favorite products

What products do I use?

In this post I will explain all of the products that I use and when I use them. There are some products that I only use once a month, once every 2 weeks, once a week or daily. I base the product on the state of my hair.

When I decide whether a product works for me, there are many things I consider. They must be able to:

• Combat a dry and itchy scalp
• Keep my ends moist when they get too dry
• Maintain a good pH balance in my hair
• Detangle my hair with ease
• Contain ingredients that are not damaging to my hair
• Define my curl pattern

In addition, I have learned, and constantly tell others, what works for me may not work for you! You have to find what works for your hair! This is the MOST important thing to keep in mind!!

With that said, I will list my favorite products categorically.

Shampoo, Conditioner and Clarifier

I have two types of shampoo and conditioner that I alternate with. Nourish Spa by Trader Joes and Tea Tree Tingle also by Trader Joes. Nourish Spa is made with organic ingredients and it does contain parabens. (I do not find these to be bad, despite must controversy and debate). Tea Tree Tingle is a certified organic shampoo and conditioner. They are very inexpensive, ranging no more than $5 per bottle. They last me about 3 months! Sometimes more!

To clarify my hair I used apple cider vinegar or white vinegar diluted with water. I generally use 6 parts vinegar to 4 parts water. I like a strong rinse! I use this to help remove product build up and to restore the proper pH balance to my hair.



Nourish Spa found at Trader Joes.

Detangling Mixtures

I have two methods of detangling:

The first method is simple. I do this method right after I wash my hair. So I only do this once a week!

• Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Leave in Conditioner OR Herbal Essence None of Your Frizziness Leave in Conditioner to detangle. I smooth a large amount over a section and comb/brush it out with my tangle teezer.

• Once I have detangled, I apply oil to the section to seal in the moisture using Hollywood's Beauty Tea Tree Oil OR Africa's Best Ultimate Herbal Oil

My second method is to maintaining moisture throughout the week. I made a mixture containing:

• Bottled water
• UNCUT hair oil by Christine Carney
• Aloe vera juice
• Leave in conditioner

I put all of this in an empty leave in conditioner bottle. I use this to maintain moisture in my hair throughout the week.

Detangling and Styling Tools

I recently purchased the Tangle Teezer for $10.86 at Sallys. I wanted to know if it was worth the hype or not! And IT IS! This is my new most favorite detangling tool ever. No more combs or brushes needed! It sliced my detangling time down from 45 minutes to 10 minutes. It pulls out less hair and it removes shedded hair with ease. I will be posting a review about this very soon :)

My other styling tools consist of:

• Bobby pins
• Elastic hair ties (with no metal)
• Hair clamps
• Headbands, bows, scarves and clips

Styling Products

I use Eco Styler Gel with olive oil to:

• define my curls
• slick back my hair
• to make my little "jew curls" on my temples
• to make coils

I use Glycerin with water in a spray bottle for twist outs, twists, braids, ANYTHING! It gives me tons of sheen, body and volume. I can't find a picture to show you but you can find it at your local beauty supply!
