Tangle Teezer Vs. Easy Tease

Tangle Teezer Vs. Easy Tease

I first got the Tangle Teezer about two years ago and I absolutely loved it. Since then I have discovered the Easy Tease, a spot on dupe for the Tangle Teezer that retails at a fraction of the price. So the question is which is better? 

Designed to glide smoothly through wet hair without stretching or breaking the hair theTangle Teezer is a bit of a cult favourite in the beauty world due to its amazing hair detangling abilities.  When I first got it I thought it was fantastic (read more about that here) and could see that it had made a noticeable difference to the condition of my hair. 2 years later and its kind of a different story.  The problem with the Tangle Teezer is that the bristles are quite flimsy and over time  they've gotten squished and are more fragile and bend easily so it doesn’t really work as well as it used to.

 The Easy Tease is very similar to the Tangle Teezer in that it is designed to use on wet hair without damaging it. However it has much firmer  bristles so it detangles better and glides through my hair so easily, getting rid of knots and tangles like it ain't no thing. The Easy Tease has a handle so I find its easier to use, I know that sounds really silly but the Tangle Teezer  is handle-less and most of the time I end up dropping it. 

Personally I prefer the Easy Tease. It's really easy to use, detangling my hair in seconds and at £1.99 from Home Bargains is a fifth of the cost of a Tangle Teezer. 

Have you tried either the Tangle Teezer or Easy Tease? What did you think? Which did you prefer? Let me know on twitter, by commenting below or by dropping me an email to lolarocknroses@gmail.com.

Hello! I've had a bit of a break over the last couple of days. What with uni stuff, work and an astronomical hangover on Sunday - the less said about that the better! - I haven't really had time to write but I'm back and I thought I would start with a review of all the fabulous things I bought last Friday.

Starting with the Tangle Teezer

The Original Tangle Teezer

This marvellous hair brush was a gift from my mum. A couple of years ago I had really long hair, but due to years of bleach and heat related abuse I had to get it chopped off (sob!) to just above my collar bone and I was NOT happy. Ever since then I have had a love-hate relationship with my hair - it loves to piss me off by not growing so I'll hate it! - and it has been my mission to get my hair back to it's former length and glory and oh so very slowly it's growing back. 

My main problem is my hair is wildly curly and that's not always a good thing. (Without any product I tend to have more than a passing resemblance to Ronald Macdonald - my ghostlike paleness and love of red lipstick don't really help either) So I have to brush my hair when it's wet otherwise it frizzes out of control and looks hideous. The problem is, as every fashion magazine will tell you, that there are few things worse for your hair than brushing it wet.  Now normally when I brush my hair wet the strands get stretched or they snap or I pull loads of it out and I end up with loads of split ends (split ends are EVIL) and none of those things are good. 

The Tangle Teezer is designed specifically so that you can brush wet hair and none of those things happen...and it ACTUALLY WORKS! I have been using it for about a week now and the difference it makes is incredible, my hair is in noticeably better condition and I truly believe that it is down to this miracle of a hair brush. So thank you Mama I love it <3

The Tangle Teezer is priced between £9 -£11 which yes is a bit pricey, especially if you're a strapped student like me but in my humble opinion they are so worth it.  My mumma bought me mine but you can get them here, trust me your hair will thank you for it
