michel mercier detangling brush: £14.95
I have a terribly unruly mane of hair. It matts, tangles and knots like there is no tomorrow. Despite popular belief I do actually brush it, It just doesn't like it! I bought a few things off Escentuals recently and one of the things that caught my eye was the Michel Mercier Detangling brush. I've sung the praises of the super popular Tangle Teaser before on this blog but I've always thought it had it's downsides. While it does a good job of untangling I often struggle with it's awkward shape and lack of handle annoyed me. This little baby smooths and detangles with minimal effort and little or no breakage. The Michel Mercier Detangling brush has a whopping 428 strategically placed bristles which disperse pressure differently when brushing.
For some reason I bought the Thick hair one despite my hair being ridiculously fine. I clearly didn't read the product description properly but it comes in Fine, Normal and Thick hair brushes. I presume the length of the bristles are different depending on the hair type. The blue one (thick hair) works really well on my hair despite it not being for my hair type. I will do a comparison post of this and a Tangle Teaser soon as they are slightly different even though they are designed for the same job. The bristles are quite tough so
I'm very happy with the brush and I'm glad I bought it, but maybe the fine hair one would have been more suitable. It's worth trying out if the Tangle Teaser just isn't doing it for you! Brushing my hair has never been easier and the ammount of breakage is a lot less. I really like the fact it has a handle as it doesn't slip out of my hair and I can get a good grip on the brush while using it on my hair.
Looks like a really interesting brush and similar to the Tangle Teaser!! Will be interesting to see/hear a comparison on the two :)

Ooh you've made me really want to try it! I absolutely LOVE my tangle teaser but I do quite like the idea of having a handle! Think I might give this a go :)

I absolutely love my tangle teezer but you're right it can be awkward without a handle. This looks really handy!

Ohh I love that this has a handle. I have a Knot Genie and the big awkward bean shape is annoying sometimes & it looks like we all agree that sometimes you just need a handle on that bad boy. Definitely checking these out. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely photos as always..thanks for the review...
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the comparison, I have the Tangle Teezer but it's pretty old and the little teeth are quite bent. I find the lack of a handle annoying so this may be a good alternative! xx
ReplyDeleteI have a tangle teezer and I love it, I don't understand why it doesn't work for some people! xxx

I have a tangle teezer and I didn't like it, it always scalped me! The bristles weren't long enough for my thick hair. I have this brush in the "thick" hair variety and it's amazing and SO much better on my hair. I LOVE it! xx

I have been waiting for a detangling hair brush with a handle for a while, This one looks like it will handle my unruly mane, Something I have to get now that my hair is growing ever thicker!

I've wanted to try the tangle teaser for ages now, but as you said the lack of a handle is annoying, I need this!

After everyone raving the Tangle Teaser I bought it not that long ago and I have to agree with you. The shape of it is so hard to deal with! Especially when you're trying to face a tough tangle it slips right out of my hand! But I do love the idea of it so I think that this would be absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteI really want to get this or the Tangle Teaser, might wait for your Tangle Teaser post until I finally purchase one!xx

I definitely want to try this after your review! Seems like something I could benefit from xx

I have been eyeing this off in Priceline (Aussie version of Boots!) for ages now. I can never justify it because I already have a Tangle Teezer...but I really hate how it doesn't have a handle and I am always dropping it. Might be time to bite the bullet and get one!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review!!
I never really got into the whole tangle teaser thing, maybe ill give this brush a go instead :)
