Tangle AngelProfessional Rebel Series Hair Brush Silver (Light Grey) - 21784

Great product

Looks great on my vanity but the construction feels cheap. It does detangle by not as well as the leading brand. Would be a good value at half the price.

This little tangle teaser is such a pleasing addition to my traditional bedroom. It’s very quirky looking and reflects my taste for things that are fun but useful and good quality. I don’t carry it in my bag because I don’t want it to get battered about. Anyway, it does such a good job of detangling my hair that I only need to use it once in the morning before I go out. Sometimes I’ll use it after a shower if my hair is a little damp but I have a specialist detangler which is much softer to use if I’ve wet it completely because this one would pull out too much hair and I already have thinning hair.

I was excited to try this detangling brush as I have very fine highlighted hair that is a nightmare to brush after washing, so have always used a detangling brush. This tangle Angel looks gorgeous but unfortunately doesn't get through the tangles as efficiently as my usual brush, the bristles are quite hard and didn't move through my hair particularly well.So, I was still left pulling and tugging and would eventually get it through my hair, only to be left with a massive knot of tangled hair at the ends. It works better on dry hair, but I wouldn't recommend it for wet hair.The brush looks very pretty though, and the skull design fits the shape of your hand snugly so it is comfortable to use. A nice choice as a regular hairbrush but wouldn't recommend it as a detangling brush.

Start by noting that I'm a bloke and I have relatively short hair, and it doesn't really tangle that much, so my opinions about this Tangle Angel Rebel brush might not be so relevant to you, particularly if you have long hair.I've had a Tangle Teezer brush sitting on the shelf next to my desk for a couple of years and it's quite therapeutic giving my hair an occasional brush - the bristles feel like they're somehow stimulating my scalp which is a nice feeling.So this Tangle Angel brush is surprisingly different to the Tangle Teezer. And it's not just the evil skull effect on the bit that you hold, the bristles are very different indeed. On the Tangle Teezer you have quite thin plastic bristles, and they are two different lengths - who knows why - presumably there's some kind of science involved. On this Tangle Angel brush all the bristles are the same length - 17mm long. In terms of bristle-count there are approximately the same number of long bristles on the Tangle Teezer as on this Tangle Angel, there being about 7mm separation between each bristle. On the Tangle Teezer though you have the same number of shorter bristles meaning there are actually twice as many, but only the long ones come into contact with your scalp.The bristles on the Tangle Angel are more rigid and unforgiving, which is okay on my hair and scalp, but maybe wouldn't be so good if you're brushing a small child's hair - in which case the ghostly skull would also not be particularly appropriate.On both brushes there is a slight curve to the surface of the bristles so when you press it onto your scalp virtually all the bristles touch because of the curve of your head.The Tangle Angel is made from two pieces of plastic and they're bonded very firmly together. By contrast the Tangle Teezer is made of two pieces of plastic that click together - if you wanted to hide something inside this would be pretty easy, although I'm sure that the customs officials that go through your bag would be wise to this little ploy.In summary, I guess a goth would like this brush. It certainly works but you can get cheaper brushes that perform differently - I'm not saying particularly better or worse. The 3D skull design is interesting, but it doesn't affect the performance of the brush, except in that it might give you a tiny bit of grip under certain circumstances. The iridescent silver effect is attractive.
