Stocking Fillers: Tangle Teezer

 I have relatively long, thick, frizzy and tangle prone hair *I'll stop bragging now* so brushing my hair has always been a painful experience, especially as a child where detangling shampoos did bupkis and my mum would pretty much rip out my hair trying to brush it but stay so long to tangles with Tangle Teezer.

I was very kindly sent two of their brushes to try including the *Tangle Teezer Limited Edition Lulu Guinness Compact Styler (£13.50) which has such a gorgeous Lulu Guinness design! It can be used on wet or dry hair and it's designed for minimal breakage. The compact styler comes with a cover to protect the bristles so it would be ideal for travelling or keeping in your bag on the go.

I've been using the brush on wet and dry hair and it works so well both ways, particularly on wet hair when the tangles are the worst. It does really help to detangle knotty hair and it's as gentle as it can be but it does still hurt; however it works much better than my regular paddle brush and I am really happy with it! I think it would make a cute but practical stocking filler or as part of a beauty hamper.

I also have the *Tangle Teezer The Ultimate Finishing Brush (£15) which is my favourite of the two and I've been using it pretty much everyday since I received it. It has a handle so it is a little more comforting and easy to use than the compact styler. It cannot be used with heat and I wouldn't use it on wet hair but it's amazing on dry hair to smooth, detangle and reduce frizz which is amazing. When my hair is dry, I usually have a halo of frizz that not even a pass with my GHDs can help with but the brush really helps smooth out my hair so much, it's a christmas miracle!

Overall, I love both designs and they are both very effective even on my long, thick, frizzy and tangled hair. I have been using the compact styler on my wet hair to detangle and the finessing brush on dry hair to help reduce frizz and to smooth. They'd make perfect little, practical stocking fillers! Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.
