Comb Tangle Teezer
Tangle Teezer is not just a hair comb, it is a fashionable beauty gadget that today, if not every, then most of the girls who pay great attention to their hair. Almost everyone has heard of them - hair brushes of an unusual shape have won attention all over the world.
Let's find out if these combs are really that good, and what are the advantages they differ.
What?
Tangle Teezer is a unique comb designed by British hairdresser Shaun Pulfrey. Few people in the world have not 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 torment themselves 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 visual appeal, which will not electrify the hair, pull it out by the roots, entangle and fluff it when combing.
Given the popularity of the comb and the mass of prestigious awards, he succeeded.
Features and Benefits
The design of the fashionable beauty gadget, which today stands on a par with the BeautyBlender sponge-testicle and Invisibobble elastic bands, was personally developed by Sean.
Its secret lies in five important components:
- Prong material that does not electrify the hair;
- Fine teeth of different lengths, which are arranged in a specific order;
- Ergonomic shape that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand;
- Compact size that allows you to carry the brush in your purse;
- Stylish and unusual design that immediately catches your eye.
The advantages that the comb has were named by the creator himself:
- Safe to use on dry and damp hair - the comb can be safely used in the shower when applying hair masks.
- Suitable for thick, curly and very tangled hair that children often have.
- Prevents split ends.
- Gives smoothness and shine to hair.
The teeth of the comb are perhaps its main advantage. They are quite soft, but elastic, so they cope well with "difficulties" in the form of tangled strands and even tangles, and after combing all the hair remains in place.
The brush is made of environmentally friendly plastic, so it is lightweight and hygienic - it can be easily washed with liquid soap, after which it will dry in a matter of minutes.
The design of Tangle Teezer is varied - the range includes bright monochromatic and printed models, among which you can choose a comb for a woman, teenager and even a little girl.
In addition to the basic colors that are constantly presented in the catalog, limited editions with beautiful and unusual prints are released every year.
It is interesting that the "face" of the first advertising campaign was the cartoon character Shaun the ram, who is the namesake of the creator of the wonderful combs. He is also dedicated to the design of one of the models that little girls are delighted with.
The lineup

The name speaks for itself - this is the standard, very first model, with which the brand's popularity began. It has a perfect ergonomic shape that fits comfortably in your hand.

Aqua splash
It was created for use in the 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.

Each Tangle Teezer has a different size, for example the classic model is 12.5 cm, so it fits well in the hand. The smallest brush is Angel Baby, which measures 8 cm to include the handle.
There is a constant debate about the shape of the comb. Someone is delighted with her, others cannot come to terms with the lack of a pen. It still looks strange and may be awkward to use at first. But over time, you will get used to it and will enjoy the way it fits comfortably in your hand.
Which one to choose?
All Tangle Teezer combs are good, each has its own benefits. Choose the model that suits you based on your requirements and, of course, your hair type:
- The Original is ideal for short and medium length hair, gently combing fine, split and brittle hair.
- The Salon Elite has stiffer teeth, so it brushes through thick and long hair better. If your hair is longer than average, consider purchasing this brush.
- The smallest Compact Styler has a lid and therefore fits a handbag. However, its bristles are softer and shorter, so it 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 treatments. Since the comb is hollow, there is another benefit to be gained from it. If you're smart, you can use this accessory as a toothbrush holder in the bathroom, or brushes and pencils on your dressing table.
- The Ultimate Finishing Touch is the perfect comb for those who can't come to terms with the lack of a handle on the standard model. It is suitable for both normal brushing and blow-drying.
How to distinguish from a fake?
- The first thing that should alert you is the too tempting stock price. On the official website, Tangle Teezer combs cost £ 11.00 - £ 15.00, so the original comb simply 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 poor-quality and hard teeth. In principle, any fake model has teeth that are hard and aggressive enough that they will simply scratch the skin and pull out hair. There are also differences on the box itself. Often the font on them is too wide, and the picture is not clear, the box itself is smaller when compared to the original.The real Tangle Teezer has an “E” logo at the top of the packaging, while copies often do not.
- It is much easier to distinguish a 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 batch number. The fakes do not have it.
- But the main thing is that there are two stripes on the edge of the brush, which smoothly turn into one. These are not damages, but marks that the machine leaves on production in Britain. You will not find such stripes on Chinese copies.
Reviews
Most of the reviews about Tangle Teezer combs are positive. Especially enthusiastic about these combs are those girls who used to use ordinary brushes for combing and styling their hair.
Customers note that it really detangles strands, it can be used on wet hair, and when used, the cloves provide a gentle scalp massage. At the same time, there is no pain, even if you have to deal with tangles, and most note a really careful attitude to hair.
Some girls are not happy with the shape of the comb. They declare that they could not get used to the lack of a handle, and consider the product itself inconvenient. However, this problem can be solved by purchasing a model with a handle.
Also, some are confused by the high price of this beauty gadget, which is really high in comparison with conventional combs. Someone thinks it is justified, others - too high. In this case, it's up to you to decide.
One thing can be said for sure - if you are not ready to spend money on the original Tangle Teezer, do not buy a cheap fake, it is definitely not worth the money spent.
