Mita GEMTIPS Detangling Brush Review

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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 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'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.
