WetBrush Original Detangler Black

I have long, straight, relatively fine but dense hair. As does my 3-year-old. I have been using the same brush for ages and it was starting to fall apart. I have been shocked at how difficult it was to find a simple, cheap, effective, non-gimmicky brush. I do not want a $20 brush with magic powers and weird bristles. I just want a simple hairbrush for myself and kids that is comfortable.This does the trick. It’s comfortable to use and brushes our hair gently. It was what I think a hairbrush should cost. It is a good brush.

Great brush and it's the only brush that doesn't pull our hair. If the brush is pulling your hair, then the bristles might be loose and you may want to replace it. To those having a hard time cleaning it, use a small crevice brush (you can get here on amazon) or a small tooth brush and gently clean it with shampoo. (Yes, shampoo.) If you still have some lent around the bristles, use a pair of tweezers to pull it off, though the brush you use to clean with should do a good job at removing most of it. That is how I clean mine and it looks brand new everytime. (Ive not had an issue with getting any water in my brush, but if you do, then you may have loose bristles.)(I originally ordered this brush Monday, but it arrived to me damaged yesterday. After contacting customer service, a replacement was shipped immediately and I received it today in perfect condition. Very much appreciated!!!)

This brush has been a lifesaver in our house. My daughter has long, fine hair that turns into a knotted mess after every bath or swim. I was dreading the hair-brushing fights every day—until we tried this.Now? No more screaming, no more chasing her around the house with a brush. It glides through wet hair so easily, and she actually asks to use it. I even use it on my own hair and it works just as well.If you’re a mom dealing with tangles and tears, this brush is 100% worth it.

I picked this up as a replacement for an old Sephora brush that had finally worn out. This one does the same job just as well—for a better price. As a guy, I don’t need anything fancy, and this fits the bill perfectly.The handle feels good in the hand, and the bristles are gentle, with padded tips that don’t scratch the scalp. It’s comfortable, reliable, and works exactly as it should. No complaints here.

Mine came with a scuff which is why I didn’t give 5 stars. But it’s a great brush! Gentle on hair and doesn’t contribute to frizz like some brushes do for me.

Where Have These Brushes Been My Whole Life? As a physician and mom of two teenage girls, I’ve spent years untangling not only stubborn hair knots but also the psychology behind why kids (and adults!) avoid brushing their hair. These brushes have been a game-changer—for both their physical design and the behavioral benefits they inspire.Let’s Talk Scalps: The Anatomy of Comfort. Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Many brushes out there are too harsh, irritating the delicate skin on the scalp, leading to inflammation or even hair breakage. These brushes, however, strike the perfect balance. Their bristles are soft enough to protect the scalp’s surface but firm enough to tackle even the most tangled hair with ease. The result? Less pulling, fewer tears, and a healthier scalp over time.Built for Behavioral Change: Here’s where the psychology comes in: kids avoid brushing their hair because it’s painful, time-consuming, or they simply don’t see the value in it. My teen girls were no different—until these brushes came along. The pain-free experience encouraged them to brush regularly, and the immediate, satisfying results (smooth, shiny hair) reinforced the habit. As any mom knows, finding a tool that turns a daily battle into a win is priceless.Cost-Effective and Confidence-Boosting. These brushes are budget-friendly, which is a relief because I’ve spent way too much on expensive brushes that sit unused. Now, my girls not only brush their hair, but they also enjoy it—and they’ve even started styling each other’s hair. It’s a small change that has brought surprising joy to our mornings and boosted their self-confidence.Who Should Use This?Parents with kids or teens who resist hair brushing.Anyone with sensitive scalps, thick hair, or chronic tangles.Families looking for affordable solutions that actually work.In summary, these brushes are more than just a tool—they’re a breakthrough in family harmony and scalp health. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who wants to simplify their hair care routine while keeping their scalp (and sanity) intact.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I assumed this brush was just hyped up. I didn't think it could really be as good as the reviews said. My daughters and I have to similar brushes that we are very happy with. Then my daughter lost her brush. I tried to find the exact brush, but they do not appear to make it anymore. So, we tried the Wet Brush.Wow! I wish we had tried this brush years ago! My daughter has very long hair and she does not like brushing it. It gets extremely snarly and can take a long time to brush. It can still take awhile to brush depending on how bad her hair is. BUT, she doesn't complain about it hurting anymore! As I brush her hair the outer layers magically become snarl free. I pull the top layers away and then keep brushing the lower layers.The brush is great. I think it does work best with wet hair. It works fine with dry hair too, but if you really need to detangle some snarls, I'd recommend using it with wet, conditioned, hair.
