When I received this brush and tried it for the first time I already knew I wanted to give it 5 stars. However to be fair and give it a good trial I wanted to test the brush in different ways, one which involved my 9 year old daughter.
The first thing I noticed was how light the brush was and such a great shape which made it super easy to hold and at the same time comfortable to use. The design is super cute but professional looking at the same time.
Test 1: Little Miss Avalon's Hair - The first time I tried the brush, I used it on my little girl. The reason I signed up for the trial was because of her. Her hair type is of a medium thickness and gets super knotty. It was easy to use on her hair, and usually she complains about her hair hurting no matter how gentle I try to be. She hardly complained and it did a very good job with her hardly flinching. Result: There was hardly any complaining what do you think? lol
Test 2: My Hair - Dry: Next I tried the brush on my hair when it was dry and I had just woken up, so it was kind of bird nesty and knotty. The brush was able to glide through the hair without hardly causing me to flinch. A couple of times it did catch and pull a bit but nowhere near as my usual Avon brush. Result: Very good on dry knotty hair.
Test 3: Wet/Washed Towel Dried Hair: Firstly I washed my hair (using the same products I always use to make sure I wasn't doing anything different than I normally do). After towel drying I used the brush and it just went through smoothly, no knots and it was fully brushed in about a minute. Pretty impressive.
Test 4: Used After Hair Drying: Now here is the true test. Usually when I dry my hair with a hair dryer it literally has a mind of its own and just looks like a big hot mess. Apart from a few pulls here and there, I hardly noticed I was even brushing it and I had to keep checking that it was even brushing my hair. And it certainly was.
Overall Results: This brush is amazing and is now our Holy Grail brush.
I highly recommend you get this brush for you, for your kids, for whoever. At this price it is a steal. Thanks so much Beauty Review for inviting me to trial this brush, we love it xx
Before receiving this I had two hairbrushes in the house designed to deal to tangles. The first had flimsy prongs (for want of a better word) and did not a lot, the other got rid of tangles but it still caught on the hair and caused pulling and pain (and my daughter cringed whenever I pulled it out to use it on her fine and tangly hair - which she got from me...)
The Mita TanglePRO easily outstrips these two brushes in performance. It's bring pink and black colours makes it easy to find in amongst the bric a brac of our home. It's got a really nice weight to it and doesn't feel flimsy. The plastic 'prongs' are bendy, but sturdy. You don't feel like they're going to snap off.
Performance-wise? Wow. First of all, I LOVE the way it feels like you're getting a head massage when you brush your hair. It's quite special. On wet hair this brush zips through quickly and painlessly. On dry hair it obliterates tangles without any ows or tugging. My daughter? Hasn't complained once since I started using it. This is a miracle.
Would I recommend it? YES. Will I be buying another as a backup? YES.
Tips: If you've got tangle-prone kids buy a few to have stashed around the house so you never have to hear their moaning again :).
