Today's post is dedicated to the subject of frustrating hair and a product that helps me deal with one of my many hair frustrations. Got hair frustrations yourself? Well then come commiserate with me.

The product of the day is the Crave Naturals Glide Thru Detangling Brush, which promises to vanquish knots and tangles on all hair types. But does it work? Keep reading to find out...


Before I show all the details of the brush, I guess I should describe my hair type. That seems relevant. My hair is medium-length and pretty fine, mostly straight (with random wavy sections here and there - such fun to style) and EXTREMELY prone to tangling. If I go to sleep with my hair loose I wake up with something an ex-boyfriend used to affectionately call "hair creature" - in other words, it has a life of its own and will form into a massive ball of knotted frizzy nastiness overnight if left untamed. And for whatever reason, there's this one chunk of hair on the right side of my head that ALWAYS knots up after I take a shower - I guess we should call that Hair Creature HQ.

I should also probably mention that most of my hair brushing is done right after I get out of the shower, so wet. I've been using the Crave Naturals brush for about a month now, but only wet/post-shower, so I can't really say how it performs on dry hair.

Enough chatter. This is what the brush looks like:

Does this count as kidney-shaped? I think it's kidney-shaped. The larger, round-ish portion of the brush is where the bristles are, and that narrow curved area is a handle. Considering that some detangling brushes don't even have a handle I welcome this feature, oddly-shaped as it may be.

The bristles. They are short and pointy (but not stabby) and free of little balls at the ends. I'm actually sort of glad there are no balls attached, because that means you can use this as a makeshift scalp scratcher - scritch scritch scritch ahhhhhh.


Performance:
As I mentioned above, I have been using this brush for about a month so I've had an ample amount of time to test it. I would say that it gets out most of my post-shower tangles easily without causing a great deal of pain, but it does have some trouble with Hair Creature HQ. If I spritz on a tiny bit of detangler on that area it eases right through though, which is not the case with my normal hairbrush.

The bristles are on the short side, which was not a problem for my fine hair, but if you have very dense hair you will likely have to work in sections with this. Just saying. I suppose it's also worth mentioning that the brush handle is hollow, making it extremely lightweight. Personally I think that's a good thing if you need to spend some time working on your hair in sections.


Bottom line:
The Crave Naturals Glide Thru Brush was reasonably effective on my fine hair when used wet. I will continue using it because I think it performs better than a standard brush for detangling purposes. Folks with extremely long or thick hair may find that it requires extra effort.


Where to buy:
You can find this brush on Amazon, where it's currently on sale for $15.88. Make sure to scroll down to the "special offers" section as Crave Naturals has a few Amazon promotions running at the moment.
