Customer Testimonials

I have a five year old little girl with really long hair and love this product for her! It is so much easier to brush her hair each day. This brush doesn’t pull her hair as much as regular brushes do.

My hairstylist recommended this for curly-haired kids. It’s AMAZING.

I bought these brushes for my long haired Maltese. I don’t know why they work so well at detangling, but they do.

Best thing since sliced bread!!! I have tried detangling sprays and creams, still pulled out my hair (literally). This brush glides thru my wet hair. I definitely recommend this.

Brushes received were counterfeit. Rips my hair and doesn’t really seem as effective as my Tangle Teezer. This brush is amazing to start with HOWEVER within 2 months I had to replace the brush ... No big deal so I buy another and I now have had to buy 4 brushes because it stops working properly.
