Each bristle is physically formed into a smooth round sphere, like a delicate gem, free of sharp edges. The ultra-soft flexible bristles are designed with heat formed tips to ensure the lifetime of the hairbrush.

The Mita GEMTIP detangling brush is super flexible with long & short thin bristles to remove tangles effortlessly, painlessly & reduce hair breakage. The two-length bristles work perfectly to detangle and massage the hair whilst massaging the scalp. The GEMTIP’s will also gently clean dandruff & dirt away from the scalp for healthier hair.

The GEMTIP’s are resistant to shampoo and conditioner to help to spread shampoo more evenly along the hair and rinse the shampoo away quickly without snagging or pulling on wet hair.

The Mita GEMTIP is suitable to use on wet or dry hair.

Mita Gemtips Detangling Brush

This brush would be suitable for brushing through conditioner and removing dandruff. I found the bristles quite firm and was harder on my scalp than my old brush, for this reason I would not use on dry hair and only in the shower, my hair is shoulder length. Both of my daughter's have long thick hair and felt that it didn't detangle their hair that well. We used it with wet and dry hair to give it a thorough test.

We all prefer the Mita TanglePro much more.

Tips: Best used in the shower to brush through conditioner or to help loosen dandruff.

Very versatile and great quality.

To start off this review, I'd like to say I have fine curly hair (which moults constantly) and usually use a boar bristle brush.

I found the brush very easy to use, it didn't snag my hair and it didn't end up frizzy when the brush was used on dry hair - which is something I'm prone to. When used on wet hair, it brushed through with ease and was very easy styling.

Moreover, I feel as though I didn't lose as much hair as usual, making it very easy to clean. It was also easy to clean due to the make-up of the brush, the bristles are held in by a plastic spiral shape (instead of an air filled puffy thing which can fill up with water). The spiral shape still allowed the brush to have some spring/movement, but it dried quickly.

It was also apparent that the tips are a part of the bristle - hence they are unlikely to break away from it, which can happen to other brushes can causing the bristles to become scratchy.

Lastly, a great to perk to this brush is it can be used in the shower to distribute shampoo evenly. Which I think is a real bonus.

So far I'm very happy with the Mita Gemtips brush, and the above features, I believe means it will serve me well for a long time.

Tips: Use both wet and dry, either in or out of the shower.

Just adding to my review now that a bit of time has past since the review trial - this is now my main brush and my old one has become obsolete.

Gentle Detangling hairbrush

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.

Tips: Start brushing from the bottom while holding hair at the roots to minimise pulling on really tangled hair.

I have very soft hair now!

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!

Tips: I used them both in shower and when My hair dries. I have a long hair, so it’s so good to use Mita GEMTIPS Detangling Brush to spread the shampoo and conditioner evenly. Afterwards, it’s very easy to clean and dry it.

Perfect for wet or dry hair

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.

Tips: Use it to apply hair conditioner or a hair mask, it works even better on wet hair and will distribute the product without making too much of a mess. The brush is easy to wash.

Replacing my other brush for sure!

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.

Looks Great but Didn't Help

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.

Tips: A great spare to keep in the car!

Good as a shower brush.

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.

Tips: If you have a lot of knots and tangles, brush hair starting from the ends and work your way up in sections, this way any knots or tangles don't get bunched up at the ends. This is a general tip for brushing hair, not specifically related to this brush only.

Way Better Than I Expected!

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!

Good, but not great for 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.

Tips: If you have straight or wavy hair, I'd give this brush a try for wet or dry brushing. If your hair's curly, maybe try it for wet brushing, but let your conditioner sit in your hair for a while to create better slip before you pull the brush through.
