After months of tears from my 5 year old daughter every time we tried to brush her very curly and very cottery hair, I decided to look for something better than the detangling sprays which we'd been using because they were not very effective.
Google brought me to Amazon and the Tangle Teezer. After reading all the good reviews I decided it was worth a shot.
I bought the pink flower pot one as I thought it might encourage my daughter to use it more than a regular brush.
When it arrived we got the usual screaming and shouting about not having her hair brushed, we said just let us try it and see otherwise we'll have to cut off the cotters as they were that bad.
My daughter finally gave in and though she kicked up a bit of a fuss she actually said that she really liked the brush.
Now her hair is tangle free and she even brushes her own hair.
A side effect of this brush is that her hair is also more shiny and a bit straighter (and therefore looks longer).
Anyway, my wife and I were so impressed that we've ordered another one (not pink this time though) for ourselves.
To the guy who invented it I raise my hat, well done sir!
If you or a loved one are blighted by cotters, do not delay buy it today!
