Good Buy / Tangle Teezer

Hello, Hello!

Many people say that they would love to have my hair. It is really flattering to hear that but I doubt that they really understand how much work it can be to take care of this insane rat's nest.

My hair is always tangled up, especially near the nape. It gets even more tangled all over when it is windy or if I ride my bike. I go through bottles of conditioner like a camel that drinks water just to avoid tangling.

My hair also takes ages to dry. If I go to bed with wet hair, I wake up with wet hair. So, I always have to blow dry it.

That all being said, I love my hair but it is a necessity that I have a good brush. One that can work through my insanely thick&long hair without damaging it. I think I have finally found it...


Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Tangle Teezer! It is a revolutionary, award-winning de-tangling hair brush that will effortlessly banish tangles and knots from all hair types.

This magic brush is perfect for all hair types but it is particularly recommended for fragile or color treated hair and hair extensions. It is also very good for kids because it brushes hair quickly and effortlessly without pain. Some people use Tangle Teezer to brush their cats and dogs (*keep your paws off my brush Jinx*).

You can use Tangle Teezer to both wet and dry hair (*hooray*). It is also said to add gloss and shine to your hair, as well as massage your scalp. I don't know about the gloss&shine but the uniquely designed bristles feel really good as they flex and flick through hair.

The brush itself is shaped to fit the palm of your hand, making it one of the easiest brushes to use. It is also small enough to carry in your purse. I'm planning to buy couple more of these bad boys, so I'll have one at home, one at work and one in my purse (*giggle*).

I bought my Tangle Teezer from a hair salon called Sydämen Pohjasta on my trip to Helsinki. You can also buy them online from various stores like BeautyBay. 

There are so many different colors of brushes available. Sydämen Pohjasta didn't have many color options, so I picked black but I want to order a cool shade called "disco purple" later on. I know that the color doesn't really matter but I like to use different colors in my daily life, so it does matter a bit (*wink*).

 

This brush works great for my hair but you really have to try it on your hair to find out if you like it or not. Tangle Teezer is not expensive (*prices vary from appx 10-25 euros*), so if you end up not liking it, you don't have to cry because you really didn't lose that much of money. But I bet you will love it too like I do. By the way, Tangle Teezer would make a great Christmas present or stocking stuffer for your friends and relatives.

Anyway, to stay on the topic of hair and brushes, I found few funny quotes to end this post. Enjoy!

A hair in the head is worth two in the brush.

Oliver Herford

Hair brings one's self-image into focus; it is vanity's proving ground.  Hair is terribly personal, a tangle of mysterious prejudices.

Shana Alexander

Life is an endless struggle full of frustrations and challenges, but eventually you find a hair stylist you like.
