I don’t think it’s an issue with the hairbrush. It sounds to me like you have wavy/curly hair. Try only brushing it when it’s wet

I also have thick and wavy hair! If i'm being honest, it's nearly impossible to make it look (fairly) nice without some hair products and heat styling, if that's your thing.

For my thick and wavy hair, the paddle brush by WetBrush has worked wonders! The bristles have ample space between them, which makes it great for detangling thick hair. Just one tip: avoid oval brushes at all costs!! The shape of them does NOT work as a hair brush.

I hope this helps! :)

Between this and the UnBrush (I use that on only slightly damp hair, the Teezer I use when the hair is soaking wet) I will be a customer for life.

Ive been using it for years. Very durable.

Some of the other trendy brushes have broke. I had 2 unbrushes that broke at the handle. My hair is waistlength 4b.

My 4c Nigerian hair would snap it in half 😂

Unbrush is life

Wet brush. Whether its on wet or dry hair, its a favourite. I don't think I've met anyone who dislikes them.

Tek brushes are good. Tk Maxx tend to have them online and in store for under £10 usually they are roughly around £40 I think

I originally bought an iblend to use for coloring/bleaching techniques but I now use it as my regular brush as well. It’s super gentle and a great detangler. Might be tricky to find as it’s targeted towards stylists.

I also really love wet brushes. They are super gentle as well and not too pricey.

I have a wooden brush and Mason Pierson brush

Wooden brush, wet brush

Tangle teezer with a handle (link) actually glides through the hair. It used to take me literal hours to work through my hair when it was tangled, going section by section with my previous tools.

I have tailbone-lenth, wavy hair. A wooden comb works perfect for me!

I use a boar bristle brush and a wooden comb - perfect for detaining, oil distribution, and shine. I also have long thick hair. 👍

This is the best brush I have ever bought that I didn’t pay $$$ for. It doesn’t pull my hair, and I can use it for a blowout easily. I have two of these and use them everyday.💘

couldn't believe how well this worked... i used to think the unbrush was kinda gimmicky, but i just got boho braids (which are notoriously difficult to keep untangled) and this thing makes it so easy

I've used only a denman brush for years but this brush works just as well 

I love how easy it is to clean as well. This is my ONLY brush that doesn’t look crusty at the end of the week lmao

I just got this brush too and I’m liking it

I used it to detangle my toddlers hair along with pattern detangling nectar. The crying has gone way less

And if you don’t have unbrush money, dollar tree has a dupe, got mine from there

Noted. I also have 4C hair and thought it was marketing bs.

Yeah, I love it. I love the unbrush flex version even more.

I bought one & it does a really good job of detangling.

I use the wet brush, I also got the tangle teezer large wet brush, but It doesn't work as good as the wet brush does for me for detangling. I'm always looking for a better detangle brush. My hair is like spiderwebs and a rats nest all in one.

Invest in a solid wooden brush and comb. wood is porous and helps distribute your natural oils better than a plastic brush. Oiling the ends of your hair and then working with the wooden brush will help distribute that oil and make your ends easier to to brush as well. I personally use the brush pre shower and the comb post shower as I have wavy hair and don’t want to ruin my patterns with a brush.

A wet brush in the shower with conditioner in your hair will also do the trick if you are really struggling.

Seconding wet brush. I didn’t think it could be that good until I got one as a gift. It’s a lifesaver and the only type of brush I will use for detangling from now on

I use a Wet Brush when my hair is damp (but brushing and combing wet hair does not work for everyone).

On dry hair, I find wooden brushes to be the most gentle. Always brush from the bottom up, too! :)

Tangle teezer.

I like the Thick and curly or the Large Wet detangler.

They have some specific to fine hair but I need the longer bristles.

I have a purple wet brush that’s made specifically for detangling wet fine hair to a point that the bristles are very far apart. I run that through my hair first, THEN use my wet brush after the tangles are Allllll removed. Do you use a leave in conditioner?

Highly recommend Johnson and Johnson Kids detangling spray. It’s magic. I spray it on tangles and they just disappear. I haven’t struggled to run my Wet Brush through my hair in months.

It’s in a green spray bottle. Got it from Amazon.

I use a plastic comb, it’s gentle on my hair. I never use brush as I feel it’s too harsh.

Tangle Teezer! Thank me later

I went from a Tangle Teezer to a Unbrush. I lose a lot less hair with the Unbrush!
