Tangle Teezer hairbrushes: choosing for each brushing step

A removable protective cover shields the brush teeth. If you want a brush to carry in your bag, this cover is a reason to choose it. The Compact Styler is designed for fine to medium hair, with two tiers of flexible teeth of different lengths to tidy hair on the go.

It suits anyone who wants to keep the teeth covered while carrying it. The individual Rose Gold Ivory brush comes with this model’s cover. This is distinct from a set containing several colors.

The Original is worth considering for brushing straight to wavy hair, whether wet or dry. Its two-tier design uses long teeth to work through tangles and short teeth to smooth the hair’s surface.

It suits anyone looking for one brush for everyday use. It can be used on both wet and dry hair. The Korean purchase option is one Ice Blue brush, with the option listed as FREE on the sales page.

The Ultimate Detangler has a handle and suits hair care in the shower.

It can spread conditioning products evenly through the lengths of your hair. Designed for wet hair and shower use, it is recommended for anyone considering brushing as part of their hair care routine.

The Korean purchase link lists the product as “Wet Detangler Chrome.” The Midnight Silver model number is listed as 10201-083-3. An overseas listing with the same number specifies Regular. Use this size as your reference, rather than the similarly named Mini or Large.

The Ultimate Styler is used to finish the shape of dry hair, rather than to work through tangles. Its bottle-shaped teeth brush out and tidy curls.

It can also blend extensions naturally with your own hair.

Its purpose is clear if you want to brush through curls as a finishing step. However, the manufacturer explicitly states that it is unsuitable for detangling. If you want one brush to detangle wet hair, distinguish its role from that of the Detangler above.

Fine & Fragile uses soft-flex teeth that are one step softer than those on the standard Ultimate Detangler. It is designed with fine, fragile hair and hair damaged by heat or coloring in mind.

It is recommended for anyone seeking softer teeth than the standard model offers.

You could miss this difference if you see it as simply another color of the standard brush. The Ice Blue model sold in Korea is listed with model number 10202-013-1. An overseas listing using the same model number and product identifier specifies the Regular size. Softer teeth should not be understood to mean that the brush treats damaged hair.
