The Battle of the Detangling Brushes
Friday, May 9, 2014
Enter the answer to every girl's problems - the specially designed detangling brush that has entered the market in the last few years, and has yet to show any signs of slowing down. First we were introduced to the Tangle Teezer, a revolutionary new tool that promised to sort out even the wildest locks in a matter of minutes. Then, I stumbled across a competitor - the The Michel Mercier Detangling Brush - of which there are three different varieties, one for fine, medium and thick hair. This has been my favourite for a long time, but a month ago or so, I was introduced to the new kid on the block - the Wet Brush, and today we're going to take a look at how it compares to it's better established rivals.
In the video below, I've already gone into a fair bit of chitty-chatty detail, so here I'm just going to summarise and give you all the information you need to know about which detangling brush to choose to fit your needs.
