Each bristle is physically formed into a smooth round sphere, like a delicate gem, free of sharp edges. The ultra-soft flexible bristles are designed with heat formed tips to ensure the lifetime of the hairbrush.

The Mita GEMTIP detangling brush is super flexible with long & short thin bristles to remove tangles effortlessly, painlessly & reduce hair breakage. The two-length bristles work perfectly to detangle and massage the hair whilst massaging the scalp. The GEMTIP’s will also gently clean dandruff & dirt away from the scalp for healthier hair.

The GEMTIP’s are resistant to shampoo and conditioner to help to spread shampoo more evenly along the hair and rinse the shampoo away quickly without snagging or pulling on wet hair.

The Mita GEMTIP is suitable to use on wet or dry hair.

Best Detangling brush EVER!

Well, as a mother of two girls with long hair as well as having long hair myself, fighting knots is a daily battle! I am always on the look out for a brush that that will gently remove tangles and i have found it! This brush loosens the toughest knots easily with the bonus of being able to use it on wet hair as well as dry. It is a nice, light brush which is very easy for small hands to manage as well. I loved it so much that I have just put an order in for 3 more!

"Mum, you look like a different person...!"

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!

Pretty colors!

Every gal lives a hairbrush, and a "free" hair brush is even better! Its a beautiful white brush that contrasts lovingly with the colorful bristles.

I am not used to the fandangly back that moves with your head as you brush. I don't know if i like it or not. I've used it daily since receiving, both morning and night, and I'm still very.. ?? About it. However in the shower with wet hair, the moving back works to the users advantage.

I'm very used to my tangle teeze brush, so using this is very different. It does glide through hair effortlessly, and it seems to gently snag my tangles and undo them with the fingers of a loving mother.

In the shower its a huge NO for me. It certainly does brush shampoo!! Through the hair easily, as well as conditioner, but the amount of fallout/breaking/damaged hair that came with it was not cool. I don't even get that amount when i bleach my roots. So for a brush that claims to minimize these problems, I'm not impressed. It does not do it while dry, though, but it was also not specified.

I have not noticed my hair being any cleaner but it does feel slightly nicer from the massage the bristles give. Mr Shaz brushed his hair and it afro'd out (he has curly hair) but he quite likes it. I also like it for brushing baby Shaz's hair.

I like this brush, but i don't think I'm a fan of the moving back, and i am certainly not using this in the shower again.

Tips: Great for combing hair masks through wet or dry hair :)

GEMTIPS hairbrush

Reviewed as part of of a trial team. Don't be fooled by the appearance of this brush, to be honest I wasn't super impressed when I first saw this, it looked very light and flimsy. However the lightness of the handle makes this brush super easy to manoeuvre, the bristles are flexible and doesn't tug and just gently detangles my thick hair and the tips massage my scalp each time I brush. Washing and rinsing my hair with shampoo and conditioner is a breeze with this brush. I have really enjoyed using this brush.

Best hair brush ever

This is the nicest hair brush I have ever used. I have replaced this with my usual hair brush from the first time I used it. It easily gets rid of knots without pulling on your hair. I have thick hair that is constantly getting knotty but this brush eases through without pain

Better than a Tangle Teezer!

This gorgeous pastel rainbow brush is perfect for those of us who aspire to mermaid hair - but instead end up seaswept and tangled!

Each bristle is actually 2 bristles - one longer that the other. The bristles are a great length, meaning they brush hair right down to the scalp - perfect for people like me, with super thick hair!

I found this brushed through my tangled hair effortlessly - whether wet or dry.

I really like using this to distribute serum in through my hair.

I will be recommending this to anyone interested in purchasing a detangler or indeed a basic brush - this is a winner on both counts!

Holy Grail!

This product is amazing! I have thin curly hair that gets extremely knotty. I have never been able to run a brush through my hair and struggle to do so when my hair is wet. Using this product is amazing, it glides through your hair. The first time I used this was on my hair dry when it was all knotted and tangled and it just went straight through, it was painless and quick! Usually I have to hold the bottom of my hair and tug it through but with this I just had to brush the hair through. This hair brush is amazing and I highly recommend this to all hair types, it even feels like your getting a head massage when brushing your hair. Definitely recommend purchasing!

Gentle and efficient

The brush is attractively designed, it's a large white brush with pretty pastel rainbow coloured tips. The brush is quite large though so I think this would be a bit awkward to pop in your handbag or travel with. The tips themselves feel quite fragile (but they are described as ultra-soft and flexible) so I would worry about them potentially getting damaged if you need to travel with the brush.

I've used the brush on both dry and wet hair. The brush smoothes and detangles my dry hair really well, and actually left my hair feeling softer than other hair brushes I've used, I find it really provides smooth, silky results. The brush is gentle and I find it doesn't pull my hair out and I end up with almost no hair build-up in the brush. It does volumize my hair, I'm not a fan of volume as I already have super thick hair, but if you are wanting to add volume as well, this is the brush for you. When I've used this on wet hair, it's detangled my hair really well and didn't get clogged up with product. I also like the flexibility of the bristles and the brush head as it's easy to clean hair out of the brush and the way it's designed, hair and product don't really build up on it so it doesn't look like it would get manky. Overall, I think this hair brush is a good detangling brush and a good all-rounder hairbrush. I really enjoyed how well it smoothed my hair. I will happily continue to use it!

Rated best brush by my 7 year old daughter!!

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!

Tips: Nope! Just brush, brush, brush!!!

A Winning Detangler But Not Quite A Gem

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.

Tips: If you get a lot of tangles this would be worth having in conjunction to your preferred regular hair brush.
