If you're looking for a brush for curly and Afro-curly hair that's great for detangling wet hair and won't tear or break your hair, you've definitely come to the right place, especially if you're looking for a Tangle Teezer! Tangle Teezer brushes have been around for a long time and are among the best detangling brushes, especially if you have curly hair. Here, I'll explain the difference between the Tangle Teezer Ultimate Brush, the Tangle Teezer Original, and the Naturally Curly Tangle Teezer.
Which Tangle Teezer Brush Should You Use to Detangle Curly Hair?
The Ultimate Detangler Naturally Curly is the Tangle Teezer for thick curly hair. On the Tangle Teezer website, this brush is recommended for curly hair types 3c to 4c. Currently, this brush is available in two colors: mango pink and purple passion. As for size, these brushes are only available in one size. This brush is the perfect addition to your curly hair routine if you have long, thick, curly hair.
What's so special about the Ultimate Tangle Teezer Naturally Curly?
This brush is specially designed with two sets of teeth: the longer ones help detangle 3c to 4c curls, while the shorter ones smooth the hair and prevent frizz. Additionally, the teeth on this brush are much stiffer, yet still flexible. This brush is perfect for detangling wet Afro-curly hair, as it has a comfortable handle that allows for an optimal grip even with products in wet hair.
How to use the Tangle Teezer Ultimate Detangler Naturally Curly
Since this is a wet hair brush designed for detangling, it's best used on damp or freshly washed hair. When using the Tangle Teezer Naturally Curly Wet Detangler Brush or any other detangling brush, always start at the ends of your hair, removing any knots and slowly working your way up to the roots.
Tangle Teezer-The Ultimate Detangler Naturally Curly
The Tangle Teezer Original Thick and Curly
The Tangle Teezer Original Thick and Curly was one of Tangle Teezer's first detangling brushes. Like the Ultimate Naturally Curly Brush, this brush also has two-tiered teeth and is a fantastic brush for curly hair. The longer teeth are much softer, allowing for flexible movement of the bristles, helping to remove knots and tangles from curls.
The big difference between this brush and the Ultimate is that it doesn't have a handle and was designed this way because its shape allows you to naturally grip the brush while detangling your curls.
The Original Thick & Curly
Tangle Teezer The Ultimate Detangling Brush (The Wet Detangler)
The Tangle Teezer Ultimate is a wet hair detangling brush available in three sizes: mini, regular, and large. What is a wet hair detangling brush? Essentially, it's a brush you can use in the shower to get rid of knots and tangles. It's also very useful for distributing products like shampoo and conditioner. Hair is very fragile when wet; it tends to stretch a lot because it absorbs water, and combing and manipulating it when wet can lead to breakage. This brush was designed to reduce breakage thanks to its flexible, two-tiered bristles. This wet brush is available in a variety of colors and is excellent for detangling all hair types, including curly hair. It's gentle on wet hair; as noted by Tangle Teezer, its primary purpose is to detangle curly hair.
Tangle Teezer The Ultimate Detangler
What is the difference between the Tangle Teezer Ultimate and the Tangle Teezer Naturally Curly?
I was a little confused about the difference between the Tangle Teezer Ultimate and the Ultimate Detangler Naturally Curly for curly and kinky hair. Like other Tangle Teezer brushes, both have flexible, two-tiered bristles, a handle, and are designed for wet detangling (brushes for detangling damp/wet hair).
The bristles of the Tangle Teezer Ultimate are softer and more flexible than those of the Naturally Curly Tangle Teezer. So, if you have tighter, thicker curly hair, the Tangle Teezer Naturally Curly might be a better choice since its bristles are stiffer. On the other hand, the Tangle Teezer Ultimate might be a little gentler on your scalp.
The Ultimate brush is also available in more colors, 14 and counting, and in three different sizes: mini, regular, and large. It's also an excellent brush for detangling wet curly hair.
Which Tangle Teezer brush should I get?
Ultimately, all Tangle Teezer brushes are excellent. The Ultimate Tangle Teezer would be my first choice because the bristles are much more flexible than the Tangle Teezer Naturally Curly, as I have thick type 4 curls but also a very sensitive scalp. There's also the Tangle Teezer for fine and fragile hair; this brush has even more flexible bristles and is great for sensitive scalps and fine hair.
