Tangle Tamer

200701281850I have two young daughters with long hair. Combing out the tangles after they've taken a bath has been a painful experience. My three-year-old ran when she saw me coming towards her with a brush and a bottle of spray detangler.

The pain is over since we started using this rechargable electric detangling brush. The motor makes the eight plastic protuberances oscillate at a high frequency. The brush goes through tangled hair like a hot knife through butter. Well, maybe not that quickly, but it is so much better than a comb or brush that there's no comparison.

I learned that a Nokia phone charger recharges the brush, too, which eliminates the need to take along an extra charger on vacations. Link

Thanks for the advice; I've been looking for something like this forever! On your recommendation, I ordered one, and I am already completely in love with it. I have three feet of extremely fine hair that is FULL of tangles every morning when I wake up, and this comb-thing is already making my mornings MUCH happier. Also, a wonderful aside, it came with an "important safety instructions" card that says to keep it away from water, even though they tell you to use it on wet hair, and to "Never use while sleeping."
