I purchased this Tangle Teezer a while ago from Takealot as they were having a special and it was R129 including shipping - a good deal that I just could not pass up! According to Lizna from Pieces In Pink, this came on sale after that as well, but I see now that it is R129 still, so head over there NOW if you want to try it out!
This is the compact one, but it fits well in the palm of my hand, and I don't really see how getting the regular-sized one would be better for me. It comes with a handy cover for the bristles, meaning it can go into your handbag without messing them up.
The bristles themselves are all different heights, and are made from flexible plastic. They do work exceptionally well at removing tangles from your hair, whether it is wet or dry. Normally I don't like to comb my hair when it is wet as I don't want to damage it, but I don't feel that the Tangle Teezer does damage my hair.
For those of you with long hair, or thick hair, or with children who hate having their hair brushed because it hurts, the Tangle Teezer is just for you! I have horrible flashbacks of being a child and my gran gleefully ripping through my hair with a brush, laughing as I wept in pain. OK, maybe she wasn't as cruel as that, but she never stopped when we cried!
Tangle Teezer also claim that there is less hair loss when using their product, and although this could be the case (I never really measured with a regular brush), there was still some hair loss for me. But that is inevitable I guess - our hair is meant to shed!
All in all this is a very successful product and combs through knotty hair easily, and more importantly, completely pain-free.
