Mita GEMTIPS Detangling Brush Review

I have really curly hair that has a mind of its own and quite hard to tame. Prior to using this brush, I was using the Mita TanglePro brush. I tried this brush on dry hair first, and I struggled a bit to get it through my hair. I found the bristles to be too flexible and it would kind of get tangled in my curls. I did eventually get all the knots out, but in the end, my hair was bigger than Diana Ross’. I did like how the brush performed when my hair was wet. When wet, it was so easy to detangle my hair. Especially when I was spreading conditioner through my hair! I’m sure it actually made the whole hair wash process slightly quicker, as I’m normally spending majority of the time getting knots out. Overall, loved the brush when my hair was wet or when I was washing my hair (just the conditioner part - I wasn’t game enough to try brushing with shampoo). Did not like when I dry brush. I’m going to definitely keep using this in the shower, but I’m going to stick to my Mita TanglePro. This brush will be perfect for my daughter who has quite straight hair, so she will probably enjoy this brush more than me.

Just for context, my hair is very thick, curly and long, and I can never easily get a comb or brush through it, wet or dry. I tried the Mita brush on my dry hair, and while it was easier than a normal comb or brush would be, it still required tugging and holding sections to work it through to the ends, so it still felt like I was pulling and damaging my hair. In the shower, I tried it on my wet hair when it was full of conditioner, and here it was definitely a lot easier than with a comb, and less painful than what I usually do (tugging my fingers through my hair to get the knots out and distribute the conditioner). I still needed to work on the lower half a bit though, and pulling with a brush felt like it was causing more breakages than when I use my fingers to ease the tangles out. Once my hair was untangled, the brush did slip through it beautifully and really distributed the conditioner well. Overall for me, the brush is certainly smoother and better than any others I've tried, but it's not a life-changer. However, the fact that I could actually get it through my wet hair relatively painlessly is pretty amazing. If your hair is less thick and curly than mine, I imagine this brush would be brilliant. The flexing brush head is really nice, sort of shaping itself to your head as you brush, giving your scalp a bit of a stimulating massage. My husband (short, medium-thick hair) decided to try it, and he really liked the massage thing and the smooth, non-scratchy bristles. So it looks like it's going to be his from now on (!) - although I might borrow it from time to time when I want to really get my conditioner nicely distributed.

Mita Gemtips Detangling brush does exactly what it promises!

As someone who has thick and frizzy hair and a scalp that is also flaky and itchy due to psoriasis I didn’t have high hopes. I have tried detangling brushes in the past and they still pulled my hair and took ages to get through all of my hair.

Not only does Mita Gemtips glide through my thick, fizzy hair easily detangling but (unlike other detangling brushes) Mita Gemtips actually gives my scalp a nice massage and scratches some of the psoriasis itch Without actually scratching and injuring the scalp. It doesn’t catch on tangles and pull or hurt my scalp. It’s a nice size and the price I saw is wonderfully decent for a product that definitely delivers what it has promised. I haven’t used it in the shower (I keep forgetting because I don’t use a brush/comb in the shower) but I am almost certain that it would do an excellent job there too. It does easily tame my hair when it is wet, without any pulling.

Would I recommend it?? Uhh YES! In fact, I was so impressed from the first moment that I tried that I messaged my siblings who also have very thick sometimes frizzy hair and told them they should give it a try as it is so affordable. So yes, Buy this brush, be as pleased as I that it does what it promises, tell your family and friends!

I'll start by saying that I prefer using this brush only in the shower.

I found it to be difficult to use when my hair is dry, the bristles being so flexible, meant the brush would just get stuck when I reached a tangle point in my hair and they wouldn't brush through without a lot of effort.

In the shower however, it brushed through my wet hair easier, especially when the water was running while I brushed it. It was also good for spreading shampoo and conditioner through my hair. Because the bristles are long, I could really massage my scalp witn the brush and get a deeper clean than I would've with my fingers alone.

Another thing I noted was the handle got a bit uncomfortable to hold after a while, but my hair is very long so it takes me longer to brush it than most. I would've prefered a rounder handle.

Hair is relatively easy to remove from the brush between uses and as the design has spiral gaps, it is very simple to wash which is great.

Overall, I think this is a good brush for use on wet hair at an affordable price. I would recommend it for this purpose and I will continue to use it in the shower.

I was really excited to try this! I have long, thick hair so I am always battling with tangles. However, I was very disappointed with this brush. I don't like how it's very flexible as I prefer something more sturdy that has the strength to help with knots and tangles and I found it to take much longer to brush out the tangles. It looks great but unfortunately to me, just didn't work with my hair.

I was so excited to trial the Mita gemtips detangling brush as Mita is an iconic brand when it comes to hair accessories. I was not disappointed at the results either. The brush glided through my hair so easily and I really put it to the test with my knots. I also put it to the test on my wet hair and it was so smooth and I didn't feel it tugging on my hair at all.

I found that the brush was lovely to hold too with the shape of the handle of the brush, they definitely thought of the girls with long hair there you find other brushes uncomfortable to hold.

I had a few comments from my friends about how pretty the brush is and they wanted to get one purely based on the looks. The simple white base with rainbow bristles makes it stand out.

The Mita gemtips detangling brush retails at pharmacy online for $14.99 and I think that's a reasonable price to sell it at for sure, I'd even pay a little more, that's how much I love the brush. I recommend you give it a go if you want to try an A++ brush.

I have been using this brush for almost 2 weeks now and I really like it, I have super long and thick hair so I am always cautious of hair brushes damaging my hair and causing split ends. This hair brush was gentle on my hair, never felt it tugging on my hair and its price point is pretty great. It worked great especially with wet hair, I usually put on a hair serum while my hair is wet and I brush it out using this brush, it worked really really well for that purpose.

I have been using Mita Mita GEMTIPS Detangling Brush for over a week now. I love this hair brush so much! It makes my hair softer, and I don’t have that tangled hair when I brush mine. The design of the brush is so good, the white colour of the brush brings a contrast to my hair makes it easier to remove the hairs in the brush and cleaning it. Definitely recommend it to everyone! There will be no more tangled hair when brushing, even ehen you have the driest hair!

My daughter and I have very long fine hair that tangles easily. Brushing my daughter's hair was always a nightmare but the Mita Gemtips Hairbrush makes detangling her birds nest a breeze. The long fine tips are multi-coloured (hence the name gem tips) and go through the hair to the scalp gently detangle while massaging the scalp. The flexible paddle not only looks great, with it's cool design, it also moulds to your scalp and minimizes pulling. The Mita gemtips hair brush leaves our hair silky and tangle free and doesn't pull or stretch wet hair.
