Tangle Teezer is not just a hairbrush, it is a fashionable beauty gadget that today, if not everyone, then most girls who pay great attention to their hair. Almost everyone has heard about them - hair brushes of an unusual shape have gained attention around the world.
Let's find out if these combs are really so good, and what are the benefits.
What?
Tangle Teezer is a unique comb created by the British hairdresser Shaun Pulfrey (Sean Pulfrey). Few people in the world have heard of it, because it is declared as an ergonomic comfortable brush that is suitable for hair of any thickness, length and structure.
For 30 years, working in various salons in London, Sean watched his clients suffer when combing their hair. Then he decided to create a comb that would solve their problems.
It took him 4 whole years to create a device with a well-thought-out design and external attractiveness that would not electrify his hair, tear it up, tangle and fluff it when combing it.
Given the popularity of combs and the mass of prestigious awards, he succeeded.
Features and Benefits
The design of the fashionable beauty gadget, which today is on a par with the BeautyBlender sponge testicle and Invisibobble elastic bands, was developed personally by Sean.
Its secret lies in five important components:
- A tooth material that does not electrify hair;
- Thin teeth of different lengths, which are located in a certain order;
- Ergonomic shape that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand;
- Compact sizes that allow you to carry a brush in your purse;
- Stylish and unusual design that immediately catches your eye.
The advantages that the comb has have been named by the creator himself:
- Safe use on dry and wet hair - the comb can be safely used in the shower when applying hair masks.
- Suitable for thick, curly and very tangled hair, which is often the case with children.
- Prevents split ends.
- Gives smoothness and shine to hair.
The teeth of the comb, perhaps, are its main advantage. They are quite soft, but at the same time resilient, therefore they cope well with “difficulties” in the form of tangled strands and even tangles, and after combing, all hair remains in place.
The brush is made of environmentally friendly plastic, so it is light and hygienic - it can be easily washed with liquid soap, after which it will dry in a matter of minutes.
The design of the Tangle Teezer is varied - the assortment contains bright plain and printed models, among which you can choose a comb for a woman, a teenager and even a little girl.
In addition to the main colors presented in the catalog all the time, limited series with beautiful and unusual prints are published every year.
Interestingly, the “face” of the first advertising campaign was the cartoon character Shaun the sheep, who is the namesake of the creator of the miracle comb. He is also dedicated to the design of one of the models, from which little girls are delighted.
The lineup
The original
The name speaks for itself - this is the standard, the very first model with which the brand’s popularity began. It has a perfect ergonomic shape that fits comfortably in your hand.
Of course, the lack of a pen is unusual for many, but already after several times of use, most get used to it. The permanent line includes 6 colors, among which are classic black and multi-colored bright.
Compact styler
A small brush designed specifically for a handbag. She has a special cover that will not allow the cloves to deform during transportation.
The compact model is also suitable for a little girl - due to the small size, the comb will fit in the children's palm, and the bright prints that are presented in this line will definitely appeal to the young fashionista.
Thick & curly
Here, too, everything is obvious - this is a brush for owners of thick and curly hair, which is difficult to comb with ordinary hairbrushes. No matter how problematic your hair is, the comb will unravel it painlessly and make the strands soft and shiny.
Salon elite
This model was developed specifically for salon use. It is larger than a standard comb, so it can easily cope with hair of any complexity.
Of course, it is quite suitable for home use.
Aqua splash
It was created for use in a bath or shower, which is important for those who often apply various masks to their hair. Due to its special shape, it is convenient to hold it with wet hands - the comb does not slip out, and due to the fact that it is hollow, water does not accumulate inside.
Magic flowerpot
A baby comb that was created specifically for little princesses. There can be no doubt, because this is a comb in the form of a flower. She also has a deep lid, which stores rubber bands for hair.
A real find for girls with long hair.
In addition to the unusual design, it also has another advantage - the unique cloves of this comb are ideal for thin children's hairs, without injuring them and not causing pain when combing.
Smoothing tool
A hair styling comb that allows you to forget about ironing. It straightens hair, making styling simple and quick. The brush smoothes, but does not pull the curls, and gives them a natural smoothness.
Round tool
A round comb for styling that gives your hairstyle a natural volume. Thanks to innovative teeth, the brush perfectly raises strands and roots, creating a breathtaking effect.
The Ultimate Finishing Touch
It is declared as a comb for creating perfect hairstyles, creating volume and texture, untangling thick and even hair extensions.
The advantage of this model is that it has a handle, which is convenient for those who are used to standard hairbrushes. Her teeth are longer and thicker than the standard, so it can serve as a good alternative to the Thick & Curly model.
Angel brush
Another comb with a handle, made in the form of an angel. On the back side there are wings and the body, and on the front side there are soft bristles that have antistatic and antibacterial properties.
The model is declared as universal, suitable for all types of hair. However, the owners of thick and curly-haired she may not be suitable.
There is also a children's version of Angel Baby - a comb with a keychain. It is convenient to hang it, for example, on a backpack, and it will also serve as a stylish decoration.
Color, shape and size
The Original model is currently presented in eight color variations: black, purple, blue, white and pink, which boasts various shades - from pastel to bright neon.
Compact Styler is the model with the largest selection of prints and colors. The range includes four metallic - gold, silver, pink and purple. Among the prints are the cartoon character Shaun the sheep, the flags of Britain, red lips, a leopard print, dogs, bows.
A real expanse for choice.
The Salon Elite model also boasts a large selection of colors - blue, green, pink, orange, lilac, purple, white and black.
Each Tangle Teezer comb has a different size, for example, the classic model 12.5 cm, so it fits well in the hand. The smallest brush is Angel Baby, the size of which is 8 cm, taking into account the handle.
Regarding the shape of the comb, there is constant debate. Someone is delighted with her, others can not accept the lack of a pen. It still looks unusual and at first it may be inconvenient to use. But over time, you will get used to it and enjoy how it comfortably lies in your hand.
Which one to choose?
All Tangle Teezer combs are good, each has its own advantages. Choose the model that suits you based on your requirements and, of course, the type of your hair:
- The Original is ideal for short and medium length hair, gently combing thin, split and brittle hair.
- The Salon Elite model has stiffer cloves, so it is better to comb thick and long hair. If your hair is longer than average, you should consider buying this brush.
- The smallest Compact Styler comb has a lid, which makes it suitable for women’s handbags. However, her bristles are softer and shorter, so she may not be suitable for owners of thick and long hair.
- Aqua Splash is designed for applying various products to the hair, it is an ideal companion when taking water procedures. Due to the fact that the comb is hollow, one more benefit can be drawn from it. If you are smart, you can use this accessory as a stand for toothbrushes in the bathroom or brushes and pencils on the dressing table.
- The Ultimate Finishing Touch is the perfect comb for those who have never been able to put up with the lack of a handle on the standard model. It is suitable for both combing and blow-drying.
How to distinguish from a fake?
- The first thing that should alert you is that the stock price is too attractive. On the official website, Tangle Teezer combs cost £ 11.00 - £ 15.00, so the original comb simply cannot cost less than 1000 rubles. Even at a discount its price will not be 300 rubles, this is clearly a Chinese fake.
- If we talk about the Salon Elite model, the first thing that distinguishes a fake from the original is poor-quality and hard teeth. In principle, with any fake model, the teeth are quite solid and aggressive, they will simply scratch the skin and tear out the hair. There are also differences on the box itself. Often the font on them is too wide, and the picture is fuzzy, the box itself is smaller in size when compared with the original.The real Tangle Teezer has a “E” logo on the top of the package, and copies are often missing.
- It's much easier to tell the fake Compact Styler comb. The fact is that on each cover of this model in the corner there is a number that indicates the production lot number. The fakes do not have it.
- But the main thing - on the edge of the brush there are two strips that smoothly pass into one. This is not damage, but the marks that the machine leaves on a production site in Britain. You will not find such strips in Chinese copies.
Reviews
Most reviews of Tangle Teezer combs are positive. Especially enthusiastic about these combs are those girls who used to use ordinary brushes to comb and style their hair.
Buyers note that she really unravels the locks, it can be used on wet hair, and when used, the cloves provide a soft massage of the head. In this case, there is no pain, even if you have to fight with tassels, and most note a really careful attitude to hair.
