Knot Genie Detangling Brush, Peaceful Blend

I purchased this brush to help tame my daughter's very thick, very wavy, very long hair. I've owned several detangling brushes and this one has become my hands down favorite by far. The short of this review is that this brush effectively detangles long, thick, wavy hair whether it is wet or dry with minimal hair breakage and minimal yanking. It's built well and has long and strong bristles./***** Build Quality *****/This brush is built very well and feels solid in your hand but is very light weight. I am a man with relatively small hands and this brush is very easy to grip. I have found that when trying to comb through some particularly matted areas, it isn't strange for me to lose the brush. Otherwise, though, it sits well in the hand and doesn't get dropped often. The bristles are pretty sturdy/strong but have enough give in them to make for an effective detangle. After nearly 2 months of of twice a day use, I cannot see a single broken bristle and there is no visible wear to the brush./***** Effectiveness *****/The performance of the brush itself is stellar. Every detangling brush I have used in the past has struggled with my daughter's long, wavy, thick hair and required me to thoroughly wet or detangle spray the hair in order to work even semi-effectively. This brush has no such issues and I am able to detangle even dry hair thoroughly. It is also important to note that this brush manages to work very well with little to no tugging. My daughter is able to sit through an entire combing sessions without getting her hair yanked, which makes us both happy./***** Conclusion *****/This is absolutely the best detangling brush/comb/product that I have ever used. My only minor gripe is that the handle is a tiny little bit big, but this isn't enough for me to remove a star and it's definitely not a big deal overall. I would highly recommend this product to anybody because if this works on my daughter's hair, it'll work on anybody's hair!

Great item, I bought for a 12 yr old with curly long hair, and it works great so far.She loved the colors also and fits well in her hand.

Smooth! Works great on all hair types! My 4-year-old has very long, mostly straight hair. She has a sensory disorder and cannot stand hair brushing. Her long hair tangled easily and she screams through hair washing and brushing. This brush limited her screaming about 90%! I brushed one half of her head with a regular paddle brush, and the other half with this, and the difference was uncanny. She clearly preferred this brush, and I could barely feel any tangled catching on the brush like they did with the regular paddle brush. I have used this on said 4-year-old’s hair, my other 3 children’s loose to super tight curls, and on my own slightly wavy 3-foot-long hair. I’ve used it on each of our hair with and without detangler, and it still performs much better than all of our other brushes and combs. Highly recommend for any hair type!

The brush size, weight, and grip are very comfortable. It still catches some tangles so I didn’t give 5 stars, but it’s definitely a good detangle brush. The chrome purple makes it super cute, too!

I received one as a gift about 5 or more years ago and instantly fell in love! I have very curly/wavy hair that tangles easily so this is the ticket! It lasted a very long time, so I am very pleased with the quality until my new puppy grabbed it off the table and made it her new chew toy! So I bought two this time! I have the mini size one I ordered a few years ago out in my camper and two big ones in the house. Love the fun colors! As soon as I get out of the shower, I lightly towel dry then I use my knot genie and then put my leave in conditioner and comb it again for good measure. It makes your hair feel very smooth. If you have a sensitive head or have young children this is the perfect brush for them! Great gift for teens and young children! I won't use anything else!

UPDATED Review:When i received this brush in the mail, I tried using it like a regular brush, expecting it to pull through the tangles right away. I tried it a couple times, and then chucked it in a drawer when it didn't seem to product any results. About 6 months later, my husband saw me struggling to brush our little girl's wet, curly hair and asked why i wasn't using the knot genie? He pulled it out and showed me that if you continuously, yet softly, keep brushing down the hair, the knots eventually work themselves to the bottom and out. It makes an odd noise, as if the bristles are just brushing past the hair, but somehow miraculously it works. It DOES take a little longer than it would to brush with a regular brush, but since the crying fits are non-existent anymore the entire start-to-finish event is probably still the same amount of time. This brush should come with instructions - maybe it did and i tossed them out figuring i didn't need hairbrush instructions? it's been a while since i ordered it. Anyway, give this brush a try, and just be patient until you get the technique down. I feel so guilty that I gave a bad review without understanding the concept of the brush! And also, Kudos to husband for figuring it out.Orginial Review:I almost feel like the other reviews were written by people who sell the product. Unfortunately, this brush did little to nothing to ease post-bath brushings of my toddler's curly mop. She was excited about the color, size, and name of this brush when it arrived in the mail- especially after I assured her it would make the brushing experience much more tolerable. It doesn't pull through very well, and it just doesn't seem to be any better than any other inexpensive brush I've tried on her in the past - and I feel like I have tried them all. This will go in the drawer of unsuccessful purchases, along with the other 4 brushes, and I will continue my search! I gave it 2 stars rather than 1 because it is cute, therefore somewhat more appealing to a toddler than a regular brush.
