Review: When I first received the double detangler I thought it would be difficult to use because it was a lot heavier than any other tool I have used to detangle my hair. I was use to detangling my hair in several small sections so when using the Ouidad Double Detangler for the first time I approached detangling my hair the same way. The comb felt too "massive" for these small sections of hair. I detangled my entire head as normal but once the task was complete I was in no way impressed with the double detangler. So the next week I decided to approach detangling my hair differently in an effort to put this tool to the test. My hair is kinky but fine with densely packed strands that are tightly coiled. I separated my hair in just SIX sections, applied ReVe Essentials Hair & Body Moisturizer to each section and then went to work. I started in the back of my hair as I always do where my hair is more 3c/4aish so when the double detangler slide through these sections with no problem I was like ok, nice but no big deal. Welllllllllll, when this bad mamma jamma detangled the four sections in the middle and front of my hair in one pass I was completely sold. I have NEVER been able to detangle my hair in six sections with only one pass. It probably only took me less than 10 minutes to detangle my whole head. Now this may be the normal detangling time for some but not for me. Detangling my hair use to the be one thing I hated about wash day. Don't get me wrong, it's still not my favorite thing but I no longer dread the task because the Ouidad Double Detangler cuts down on time and difficulty. 

Summary: I totally love this tool and would definitely recommend it to others. The price may deter others from buying it but I definitely think its worth the investment if your hair is difficult to detangle. This is now my detangling tool of choice and I'm so happy I was introduced to it!

Product Review-Tangle Teezer

Name: Tangle Teezer

Ingredients: n/a 

Price: $9.99

Where To Buy: Sally Beauty Supply

Product Promise: gently and effortlessly detangle all types of hair, wet or dry

Review: The Tangle Teezer was raved about by the natural hair community so I rushed out to purchase one at my local Sally Beauty Supply store. I first used the product on dry hair after taking my hair out of braids that I had for a sew-in. Then I used it on wet hair that was saturated with conditioner. Initially, I was totally impressed by the ease of detangling my hair with this product. The only thing I would change would be to add a handle to provide additional support. I used the Tangle Teezer to detangle my hair after cleansing for about 4 weeks before I realized the number of fairy knots I had was not normal. Being that I had just started wearing my hair in its natural state I was unsure if having a lot fairy knots was a common problem for tighter coiled naturals or not so I began to do more research. After reading and watching several reviews about the Tangle Teezer I came to the conclusion that the excessive amount of fairy knots may be a result of using this tool. I immediately stopped use to see if that would help with the problem. Sure enough within a few weeks I noticed a huge difference in my hair. I have not used my Tangle Teezer since and if I use it in the future it will only be after detangling with my fingers or a wide tooth comb.

Summary: In my opinion the Tangle Teezer is not a tool that should be used often or at all by people who have kinky hair. While it is said to be ideal for all types of hair, due to the small amount of space in between the bristles I think the tool is more advantageous for people with straighter/finer strands.
