detangling brushes

Snarl-smoothing hair tools

Detangling brushes are hairbrushes designed to work through knots and tangles without pulling or breaking hair.

They typically have flexible bristles set at varying heights, allowing them to glide through snarls more gently than standard brushes: I use a detangling brush on my daughter's curly hair after her bath.
