Mita GEMTIPS Detangling Brush Review

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.

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.

Mita's Gemtips Detangling Brush, is a white brush with a spiral slotted back, pastel bristles and a hole which could allow the brush to be hung from a hook.

My first impressions where that the pastel coloring makes the brush look childish, but the spring style back and the bristles were flexible and allowed for a successful hair brush that did detangle the hair better than my non-detangling hair brush.

The hairbrush is pitched for use on wet hair as well as dry, although personally I prefer a wide tooth comb, however this hairbrush does as it says and would work in a pinch.

As a brush to detangle my hair I like it better than my previous detangling hairbrushes as it's gentler and has a better handle. However it doesn't feel that robust and feels like it could break reasonably quickly.

I have tried several hair brushes over the years and always go back to my Denman. I have used both the Mita and my regular hairbrush my hair during this trial and found the Mita to be more gentle on the scalp and tangles, but my regular hairbrush to give the hair a nicer finish and feel more sturdy to hold and use.

However the Mita is at its core a detangling brush and it bet out my previous detangling brushes in an instant. It was much gentler and had a better shape and handle.

So as a detangling brush it is a winner, but it wouldn't make my regular hair brush obsolete.

Cool looking colourful brush was the first thing I noticed! Love the colour way and the style of the brush. The bristles are nice and colourful and it's really quite a big brush (I expected smaller, but not a bad surprise).

Pretty conventional packing eg the brush attached to a piece of card where you have to snip the plastic bits that attach it. The brush is nice and light and easy to hold, the flexi-control is awesome and the flexible bristles are equally as awesome! Works really well on the head with the flexibility.

So I actually gave this to my 7 year old daughter to try first, she has long hair and is a nightmare trying to brush her hair, she has a SUPER sensitive scalp and cries and yells EVERY TIME I brush her hair :( I let her try it in the shower on wet hair that had been washed and conditioned, she LOVED it! Went through the hair easily and she said didn't pull! No tears, that's amazing!

Also tried it on her hair when dry (and still using it everyday) and honestly it is sooooo much better than any other brush she has used and she was using a Mita detangling hair brush (an earlier model one), but the new one is so much better.

She gives it a 10/10 -her own rating. I have used it also and it is so nice on my scalp, really gets in there but doesn't pull or snag the hair and almost gives you a bit of a scalp massage at the same time!

Great brush that I will definitely continue using for myself and my daughter (am buying a new one for me haha).

Recommend this brush!

This product is amazing! I have thin curly hair that gets extremely knotty. I have never been able to run a brush through my hair and struggle to do so when my hair is wet. Using this product is amazing, it glides through your hair. The first time I used this was on my hair dry when it was all knotted and tangled and it just went straight through, it was painless and quick! Usually I have to hold the bottom of my hair and tug it through but with this I just had to brush the hair through. This hair brush is amazing and I highly recommend this to all hair types, it even feels like your getting a head massage when brushing your hair. Definitely recommend purchasing!

This gorgeous pastel rainbow brush is perfect for those of us who aspire to mermaid hair - but instead end up seaswept and tangled!

Each bristle is actually 2 bristles - one longer that the other. The bristles are a great length, meaning they brush hair right down to the scalp - perfect for people like me, with super thick hair!

I found this brushed through my tangled hair effortlessly - whether wet or dry.

I really like using this to distribute serum in through my hair.

I will be recommending this to anyone interested in purchasing a detangler or indeed a basic brush - this is a winner on both counts!

This is the nicest hair brush I have ever used. I have replaced this with my usual hair brush from the first time I used it. It easily gets rid of knots without pulling on your hair. I have thick hair that is constantly getting knotty but this brush eases through without pain

Reviewed as part of of a trial team. Don't be fooled by the appearance of this brush, to be honest I wasn't super impressed when I first saw this, it looked very light and flimsy. However the lightness of the handle makes this brush super easy to manoeuvre, the bristles are flexible and doesn't tug and just gently detangles my thick hair and the tips massage my scalp each time I brush. Washing and rinsing my hair with shampoo and conditioner is a breeze with this brush. I have really enjoyed using this brush.

Every gal lives a hairbrush, and a "free" hair brush is even better! Its a beautiful white brush that contrasts lovingly with the colorful bristles.

I am not used to the fandangly back that moves with your head as you brush. I don't know if i like it or not. I've used it daily since receiving, both morning and night, and I'm still very.. ?? About it. However in the shower with wet hair, the moving back works to the users advantage.

I'm very used to my tangle teeze brush, so using this is very different. It does glide through hair effortlessly, and it seems to gently snag my tangles and undo them with the fingers of a loving mother.

In the shower its a huge NO for me. It certainly does brush shampoo!! Through the hair easily, as well as conditioner, but the amount of fallout/breaking/damaged hair that came with it was not cool. I don't even get that amount when i bleach my roots. So for a brush that claims to minimize these problems, I'm not impressed. It does not do it while dry, though, but it was also not specified.

I have not noticed my hair being any cleaner but it does feel slightly nicer from the massage the bristles give. Mr Shaz brushed his hair and it afro'd out (he has curly hair) but he quite likes it. I also like it for brushing baby Shaz's hair.

I like this brush, but i don't think I'm a fan of the moving back, and i am certainly not using this in the shower again.
