Forever 21's Detangler Brush review

Forever 21's Detangler

I don't know about you guys, but whenever my hair is wet, it somehow feels much more fragile. Due to the thinness of my hair strands whenever I try to comb my hair, I hear 'snaps" resulting from certain hair strands giving in to the knots and tangles and breaking my hair! It is tragical... for both my hair and me.

I have heard of Tangle Teezer for a long time... but it isn't easy to find the original one. It wasn't available in Toronto.

impressions:

• gets rid of tangles
• didn't rip my hair out
• works and detangles my hair
• brush bristles are a little too short

The other day, I was walking into Forever 21 and found this Tangle Teezer knockoff. It is called Forever 21's Detangler. It looks almost identical to the original, all the way to the shape. The only exception is that there is a handle for Forever 21's version.

I also found the original Tangle Teezer at Tokyu Hands... and I discovered that the bristles for the Tangle Tamer was much longer and stronger. There were also variations in sizes making it catch every piece of hair easier.

Price differences:

Forever 21's Detangler costs around $8.75 USD
Tangle Teezer costs around $12.95 USD

Verdict:

Back to Forever 21's Detangler, I am definitely impressed... this is definitely not a gimmick product. I managed to get rid of all my tangles and my hair didn't snap because it was very gentle. The only drawback is that the bristles are too short (this is where the original Tangle Teezer wins) so I tend to miss sections of hair because it cannot grab onto most pieces properly. There isn't a huge difference in prices, however, if you are a penny pincher, Forever 21's Detangler will do the trick (and it has a handle!), but if you are looking for a quality product, you should definitely buy the Tangle Teezer.
