I caved and bought a Tangle Teezer - Is it worth the hype?

During a Sunday #bbloggers chat I tweeted about the cult hairbrush line Tangle Teezer. I hadn't used one before but heard many great stories about them. I asked if they were worth the money and did they live up to the hype.

More than 10 #bbloggers replied, here is what some had to say:

@NicoleTopToToe How have you lived without one? Mine has saved some serious knot situations! X

@NicoleTopToToe yes! i've had mine for like a week and it's changed my hair completely xo

Rosie ‏@rosielizzybeth20 Oct

@NicoleTopToToe definitely, the only thing that can get through my hair! x

@NicoleTopToToe I've got a leopard print one that now stays in my bag, couldn't resist! x

With that in mind I thought I would give Tangle Teezer a try:

I picked up the Original Plum Delicious from Boots for around £10.

When I felt the plastic bristles I have to admit I convinced. I thought how could these flimsy plastic bristles brush through knotty hair, wet or dry.

However, I was surprised just how easily this brush got through my hair. Of course it didn't cut through knots in one stroke, but it made a huge difference. It didn't feel like it was ripping my hair and it didn't feel like an effort to brush through.

I can imagine this being a great brush for children to avoid tears and tantrums!

If you haven't tried this brush I would definitely give it a go.
