Tangle Teezer is not just a hairbrush, it is a fashionable beauty gadget, which today has, if not each, then most girls who pay great attention to their hair. Almost everyone has heard about them - unusual-shaped hair brushes have gained attention all over the world.
Let's find out if these combs really are so good, and by what advantages they differ.
What?
Tangle Teezer is a unique hairbrush that was created by the British hairdresser Shaun Pulfrey (Shaun Pulfri). Few people in the world have heard about 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 as his clients suffer when combing hair. Then he decided to create a comb that would solve their problems.
As many as 4 years it took him to create a device with a well-thought-out design and visual appeal that would not electrify the hair, pull it out by the root, confuse and fluff it when combing.
Given the popularity of combs and a lot of prestigious awards, he succeeded.
Features and benefits
The design of a fashionable beauty gadget, which today is on a par with BeautyBlender sponge-testicle and Invisibobble elastic spring bands, was developed by Sean personally.
Its secret lies in five important components:
- The material of the teeth, which does not electrify the hair;
- Thin teeth of different lengths, which are arranged in a specific order;
- Ergonomic shape that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand;
- Compact dimensions that allow you to carry a brush in your purse;
- Stylish and unusual design that immediately catches the eye.
The advantages possessed by the comb were named by the creator himself:
- Safe use on dry and wet hair - a comb can be safely used in the shower when applying masks for hair.
- Suitable for thick, curly and very tangled hair, which are often in children.
- It prevents the appearance of split ends.
- It gives smoothness and shine to hair.
Comb teeth, perhaps, is its main advantage. They are rather soft, but at the same time elastic, that is why they cope well with “difficulties” in the form of matted strands and even tangles, and after combing all the 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 minutes.
The design of Tangle Teezer is diverse - the assortment includes bright monophonic and printed models, among which you can choose a comb for a woman, teenager and even a little girl.
In addition to the main colors presented in the catalog constantly, limited edition series with beautiful and unusual prints are published every year.
Interestingly, the “face” of the first advertising campaign was the hero of the cartoon Sharan, a ram who is the namesake of the creator of the miracle comb. He is also devoted to the design of one of the models from which delighted little girls.

All Tangle Teezer combs are good, each has its own advantages. Choose the model that suits you best based on your requirements and, of course, the type of your hair:
- The Original is ideal for short hair and medium length hair, gently combing thin, split and brittle hair.
- The model Salon Elite tighter teeth, so they better comb through thick and long hair. If the length of your hair is more than the average, you should think about buying this brush.
- The smallest comb Compact Styler has a lid, so it is 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 making water treatments.

- The Ultimate Finishing Touch is the perfect comb for those who could not accept the lack of a handle on the standard model. It is suitable for regular combing, and for styling a hair dryer.
How to distinguish from fakes?
- The first thing that should alert you is that the stock price is too attractive. The official website of the Tangle Teezer combs cost £ 11.00 - £ 15.00, so the original hairbrush cannot cost less than 1000 rubles. Even with a discount, its price will not be 300 rubles, this is clearly a Chinese fake.
- If we talk about the Salon Elite model, then the first thing that distinguishes a fake from the original is the poor quality and tough teeth. In principle, any fake model teeth are quite hard and aggressive, they will simply scratch the skin and pull 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 to the original. The real Tangle Teezer has an “E” logo on the top of the package, and copies are often missing.
- It is much easier to distinguish the fake Compact Styler comb. The fact is that on each cover of this model in the corner there is a figure that indicates the production batch number. In fakes it is not.
- But the main thing is that there are two strips on the edge of the brush that smoothly merge into one. These are not damages, but traces that the machine leaves on production in Britain. In Chinese copies, you will not find such strips.
