Our review

The Wet Brush Original is one of Amazon's best-selling beauty products, and few buys give so much for so little: under $10 for a brush that detangles painlessly.

Its IntelliFlex bristles are thin and flexible, so they glide through knots instead of ripping them out. It works on straight, wavy, curly and thick hair and is designed for wet hair, when it breaks most easily.

It's not magic on very dense coily hair, where wider-spaced brushes like the Bautero feel better, but for most people it's the brush they didn't know they needed.

How to use

Brush from ends to roots, on wet or dry hair. Clear out hair regularly.
