Mita GEMTIPS Detangling Brush Review

I was so excited to trial the Mita gemtips detangling brush as Mita is an iconic brand when it comes to hair accessories. I was not disappointed at the results either. The brush glided through my hair so easily and I really put it to the test with my knots. I also put it to the test on my wet hair and it was so smooth and I didn't feel it tugging on my hair at all.

I found that the brush was lovely to hold too with the shape of the handle of the brush, they definitely thought of the girls with long hair there you find other brushes uncomfortable to hold.

I had a few comments from my friends about how pretty the brush is and they wanted to get one purely based on the looks. The simple white base with rainbow bristles makes it stand out.

The Mita gemtips detangling brush retails at pharmacy online for $14.99 and I think that's a reasonable price to sell it at for sure, I'd even pay a little more, that's how much I love the brush. I recommend you give it a go if you want to try an A++ brush.

Cool looking colourful brush was the first thing I noticed! Love the colour way and the style of the brush. The bristles are nice and colourful and it's really quite a big brush (I expected smaller, but not a bad surprise).

Pretty conventional packing eg the brush attached to a piece of card where you have to snip the plastic bits that attach it. The brush is nice and light and easy to hold, the flexi-control is awesome and the flexible bristles are equally as awesome! Works really well on the head with the flexibility.

So I actually gave this to my 7 year old daughter to try first, she has long hair and is a nightmare trying to brush her hair, she has a SUPER sensitive scalp and cries and yells EVERY TIME I brush her hair :( I let her try it in the shower on wet hair that had been washed and conditioned, she LOVED it! Went through the hair easily and she said didn't pull! No tears, that's amazing!

Also tried it on her hair when dry (and still using it everyday) and honestly it is sooooo much better than any other brush she has used and she was using a Mita detangling hair brush (an earlier model one), but the new one is so much better.

She gives it a 10/10 -her own rating. I have used it also and it is so nice on my scalp, really gets in there but doesn't pull or snag the hair and almost gives you a bit of a scalp massage at the same time!

Great brush that I will definitely continue using for myself and my daughter (am buying a new one for me haha).

Recommend this brush!

When I first opened the package I was a little sceptical that this hairbrush would be able to detangle my hair as it looked kind of flimsy. But after using it I can see its flexibility coupled with the two different sized tips means it can glide easily through your hair! Using it on dry hair I wasnt a fan, my hair has been quite staticy lately and after brushing it with this it was even more so, my hair looked like I had put my hand in a socket and made that snap static noise as I was brushing.

For wet hair though this hairbrush is perfect! I've changed to using the curly hair method so always brush my hair with conditioner in and this brush felt so good on the scalp, like a mini massage. With shampoo I did find it struggled a little more with my tangles. It does leave my hair feeling so silky soft so is now my go to shower hairbrush.

Having the swirl design holding the tips means no slimey build up of product, it all just washes straight off. Also love the multi colours of the tips which with the rounded edges match the name!

I think the price point is pretty good for a hairbrush, as detangling brushes which are a lot smaller are around the same price.

Would 10/10 recommended for wet hair

What a funky brush! White with colourful bristles. It is super light weight due to its ergonomic design that moves and curves with the shape of your head as you brush. Having curly hair it can be a battle to untangle the knots, but with the GEMTIPS Detangling Brush my hair was easily detangled with little pulling and breaking of my hair. My hair was left felling smooth and soft.

This is what my 8-year old son said to me after I brushed my hair with the Gemtips brush. But not before my 12-year old got her hands on it and declared "oh my god, I LOVE it!!!" This is such an interesting hair brush. It looks lightweight and somewhat flimsy, and I really didn't have high hopes that it would suit my long, thick and often unruly hair. For example, the TangleTeaser hairbrush has similar looking bristles that just don't get all the way through my hair. But this brush is different. The bristles get all the way through to my scalp and left my hair much smoother and straighter than any other brush has managed - it even gave my scalp a nice massage. I tried it on my son's crazy curly hair and it was really gentle and he didn't yelp when it caught on the knots. We also tried it on wet hair and it was fabulous. I feel like this brush is more than meets the eye, has many uses and suits thick, long, curly and knotty hair!

Mita's Gemtips Detangling Brush, is a white brush with a spiral slotted back, pastel bristles and a hole which could allow the brush to be hung from a hook.

My first impressions where that the pastel coloring makes the brush look childish, but the spring style back and the bristles were flexible and allowed for a successful hair brush that did detangle the hair better than my non-detangling hair brush.

The hairbrush is pitched for use on wet hair as well as dry, although personally I prefer a wide tooth comb, however this hairbrush does as it says and would work in a pinch.

As a brush to detangle my hair I like it better than my previous detangling hairbrushes as it's gentler and has a better handle. However it doesn't feel that robust and feels like it could break reasonably quickly.

I have tried several hair brushes over the years and always go back to my Denman. I have used both the Mita and my regular hairbrush my hair during this trial and found the Mita to be more gentle on the scalp and tangles, but my regular hairbrush to give the hair a nicer finish and feel more sturdy to hold and use.

However the Mita is at its core a detangling brush and it bet out my previous detangling brushes in an instant. It was much gentler and had a better shape and handle.

So as a detangling brush it is a winner, but it wouldn't make my regular hair brush obsolete.

I honestly didn't expect this to be much different from any other hairbrush that promises to detangle your hair - however, I was pleasantly surprised. This Mita Gemtips Detangling Brush exceeded my expectations. I think what sets it apart from other brushes I've tried is the design of the brush. The base of the actual brush where the 'tips' sit, is flexible - so it moves with the shape of your head as you are brushing. It's much nicer than using a hard brush. The tips are also bendy, so they don't feel like they rip through any knotty bits in your hair. I tried brushing conditioner through my hair with this while in the shower which made my hair so much easier to brush when it dried. It was really easy to rinse the conditioner out of the brush afterwards. Cute design, light-weight, easy to use, and this product did what it said it would, so 5 stars from me! I'd definitely buy this in the future and recommend to anyone looking for a brush that helps with detangling.

Mita Gemtips Detangling brush does exactly what it promises!

As someone who has thick and frizzy hair and a scalp that is also flaky and itchy due to psoriasis I didn’t have high hopes. I have tried detangling brushes in the past and they still pulled my hair and took ages to get through all of my hair.

Not only does Mita Gemtips glide through my thick, fizzy hair easily detangling but (unlike other detangling brushes) Mita Gemtips actually gives my scalp a nice massage and scratches some of the psoriasis itch Without actually scratching and injuring the scalp. It doesn’t catch on tangles and pull or hurt my scalp. It’s a nice size and the price I saw is wonderfully decent for a product that definitely delivers what it has promised. I haven’t used it in the shower (I keep forgetting because I don’t use a brush/comb in the shower) but I am almost certain that it would do an excellent job there too. It does easily tame my hair when it is wet, without any pulling.

Would I recommend it?? Uhh YES! In fact, I was so impressed from the first moment that I tried that I messaged my siblings who also have very thick sometimes frizzy hair and told them they should give it a try as it is so affordable. So yes, Buy this brush, be as pleased as I that it does what it promises, tell your family and friends!

Thanks for choosing me in this trial, I’m grateful for this as I LOVE this brush. This is seriously the best brush I have ever used in my life. The brush has a wide paddle, can handle large amount of hair at once (I have thick long hair). It works really well on my hair texture, thicknesses and lengths. The brush has an ergonomic handle and light weight, it is very easy to hold. However, it does not feel like it is going to snap even though I have thick hair. This is the first brush I have found that gets through my thick hair.

It is designed with ball-tipped bristles that feel really nice on my scalp and hair. The brittles do not pull on my strands of hair. It works great detangling both dry and wet hair. It is great at distributing my hair’s natural oils from the root to the tip. I was left with shiny hair and no more greasy roots.

I love that it is super easy to clean. It leaves my hair so smooth and healthy and makes brushing hair an effortless task.
