Understanding Hair Types

Before you find the perfect hairbrush for you, it’s important to identify and understand your hair type. Hair types are often classified into straight, wavy, curly, coily, and mixed types. Straight hair is typically smooth, shiny, and often has a fine texture. Wavy hair has a subtle texture that ranges from loose waves to defined curls.

Curly hair is more defined and can range from loose ringlets to tight coils. Coily hair has a tight curl pattern and can be more prone to dryness and breakage. Mixed hair types are a combination of two or more of these categories and require unique care and attention. The journey to healthy hair always starts with creating a haircare routine based on your hair type and its needs.

 

 

Tangle Teezer Hairbrush Types

We pride ourselves in designing innovative brushes for different hair types and hair needs. It all began with the Original - our first detangling brush and the birth of our innovative two-tiered teeth technology. We’re known for the magic of our detangling brushes, including the Ultimate Detangler and Wide Tooth Comb and from our Naturally Curly brush to our Fine & Fragile ranges, each hair type is cared for. We also have brushes across different categories, including blow-drying and styling - all of which have been created to be extra gentle to your hair. We’ll stop showing off now.

Choosing the Right Hairbrush for Your Hair Type

As we mentioned, selecting the right hairbrush for your hair type is essential to maintain healthy hair. Different hair brushes are designed to work with different hair types, textures, and lengths. For fine hair, a brush with soft-flex teeth (a la our Fine & Fragile detangling brushes) is recommended as it can detangle hair without pulling or damaging fragile strands. Thick or curly hair benefit from our Wide Tooth Comb, our Thick & Curly Original or our Naturally Curly Ultimate Detangler, all of which easily detangle hair and help prevent breakage. Taking the time to pick out your perfect brush is the little thing you can do to make a big difference when it comes to your hair health.
