The Tangle Teezer gained popularity last year as the saviour of the kinky and curly-haired woman. Women all over the online natural hair community stood in praise of the quick-detangling brush that they have been wanting to reduce detangling time. The Tangle Teezer soon became my not-so guilty pleasure. The Denman brush's reign came to a speedy end. So what went wrong?
It seemed to start with one video, then two blog posts, then the skepticism was catching on almost as quickly as the product's popularity. Many began to accuse the pet comb look-a-like of causing split ends. So why am I writing this post?
Well, I have been dependent, no, addicted to the Tangle Teezer for a while. Unfortunately, after a few months, I have more split ends than I have ever experienced. Now, the main time our hair breaks (often causing split ends) is when we detangle. I only detangle wet and I have changed no other tools this year. I've noticed the increased breakage for a while but quick detangling is addictive.
But, is the Tangle Teezer dangerously addictive? Maybe it is with improper use (according to Chrish My Daughter). Watch the videos below before deciding whether to buy or use your Tangle Teezer.
Scroll down below the vids for my final words on the topic.
Gotta be honest guys. This is the slowest my hair has ever grown – or should I say – This past year shows least least hair I have ever retained in a year. I'm giving my Tangle Teezer a rest.
I'm one of those who have unrelentlessly touted the virtues of the tangle teaser. When I first got my hands on this wonderful little tool I would use it all the time. In fact I used to take a twist or braid down out of a do I'd just done just to marvel at how thoroughly that thing would glide through my hair. Now nearly a year later I'm still dearly attached to the tangle teaser. I still love it. I've had no problems or adverse affects on my bsl type 4b hair from its use or in some instances over use...and my hair is color treated taboot. So it's a mystery to me why some folks are having so many issues with the tangle teaser. It's been and continues to be my go to detangler of choice.
ReplyDeleteGood for you. I think it may have to do with improper use. But also, not everything works for everyone. Who knows. In any case, I still haven't thrown mine out. lol.
