Q: Does this brush ruin curls after you curl

Great brush, wish it lasted longer.
I love this brush so much, repurchased many times. my only issue is that the bristles on it wear down/bend a lot after about a month or 2 of use. that and I find it hard to completely clean (though thats probably a me thing) Other then the long term issue, this brush is always my top choice, de-tangles my fine hair so well and gentle.

Bad for straight hair
It makes my hair look really greasy even after I washed it. I have very straight long hair btw. It doesn't get dirty fast tho and if my hair is rlly tangled it doesn't hurt when I brush it so yeah now I only use it when my hair is wet but I bought it with the intention to use it throughout the day. Still it's a good hairbrush prolly js for people with curly hair

I have been using this brush for over a year. It is gentle on the scalp. There has been no breakage. The plastic is durable. The brustles have bent a little. I can detangle my wavy hair with it. I like the color and the design. It is worth the price.

The ultimate knot buster
I have thinning hair, which is also fine and picks up knots at an alarming rate. Washing my hair was an absolute horror show, even with detangling spray. I despaired at the amount of hair that would be tugged out. Eventually I bought this Tangle Teezer, I'd seen them before and I thought it wouldn't hurt to try. I was so surprised when I tackled my first after wash load of knots. It was amazing how easily the brush tidied my hair, with only a few stray hairs left on the brush. I was so thrilled that I bought one for my husband, and one for my granddaughter who has fine hair too. I also bought a mini brush for my handbag. I'm not much of a fangirl type, but I could definitely talk endlessly about this brush.

A big win!
I bought this as a stocking stuffer for my daughter and who knew it would end up being her favorite gift. I bought a second for her so when she comes to visit it’s one less item for her to pack. This brush is a big hit!

While the brush looks nice and feels good to hold, my daughter complains how much it pulls her hair when I brush. I tried it, and it hurts my scalp too. Not keeping.

Great for Curls
I've been using this brush for a long time and thought that it was time to replace my old brush. It gentle on my curly hair while detangling it as the bristles message my scalp and help spread my natural and added oils along my hair. I had this brush for years and it still looks as good as when I bought it- I just wanted to replace it for a sound-peace-of-mind for cleanliness. I bought it at the store originally; I had no idea it came in multiple colors. That's awesome! I got two in different colors, this brush is the best!

At first a dream
When I had first received this item, it was amazing. I was so stunned that I had the same hairbrush as famous TikTokers but then, it all changed the bristles bent, not too bad, but it didn’t look that straight anymore, and the bristles were not in order. I like this brush. I have one C wavy hair. This is not meant for any hair above that.

After one use
I purchased a The Essential Detangler® by Tangle Teezer® for Wet & Dry Hair in bright pink. I was excited to try after reading all the good reviews. I’m a senior citizen with about 60% gray. I’m also a retired hairdresser and know what my hair condition normally is. After using this brush my hair looks like I stuck my finger in a light socket and fried my just yesterday’s (beautiful head of hair). What a mess! I’m not recommending this brush if you have gray hair. I used as advised and assumed I would be delighted…NOT

I dont know too much about hair, but I have a shoulder length fro, used other brushes and pics, got a good one of TikTok but really wanted to try this one. . . . . BUTTER, this makes it really easy to manage my hair as I figure out what im doing. Like to the point I dont even know where that brush from TikTok is.

Helps my curly hair daughter get her hair straight. Gentler and more effective than a standard paddle brush. Obviously spray the hair with some water/leave in and brush from tip to end, section by section. You kids will thank you. Mane & tail detangler spray also helps.

Been using for 4 years, thick curly hair
Favorite brush I have ever had. Been using it for 4 years. For reference I have super thick curly hair and I use when it’s wet to detangle.

Happily surprised
I love this hairbrush, its a total upgrade from the brushes with the Lil ovals on the tips. Its soft and doesn't rip out hair like other brushes. Highly recommend
