Tangle Teezer Review

Back in June for my birthday I asked for a Tangle Teezer as had wanted to try one out for ages. Let me tell you.. having naturally curly / wavy hair could be great but I have battled with many a severe tangle my whole life. I have quite thick hair very very prone to tangles.. I literally can wash my hair and by the time it has dried it has knotted all underneath. My hair has always been like this, no matter what silky soft conditioning treatments I use and after hearing about the Tangle Teezer, I had to try it.

Product Description:

Ask yourself - are you a hair criminal who is repeatedly guilty of torturing your hair with inappropriate brushes or combs that only tug, tighten and tear tangles from your hair? If the answer is yes, help is at hand. Hair rehabilitation is painless and easy with Tangle Teezer.

Change your hair brush not your lifestyle. A Tangle Teezer hair brush will break the cycle of broken hair and give tangled hair the brush off. A revolution in detangling hair, it has the ability to flex and not pull upon contact with tangles, gently and effortlessly delivering smooth and shiny hair in an instant. The result? Hair perfection.

Your perfect hair care partner, Tangle Teezer Original is a gentle pain free hair detangler that has been referred to as the miracle brush that detangles like nothing else. Its secret is it allows you to manage and style your hair as never before, transforming tangled hair into stress free, style-able hair and encouraging your hair’s natural shine and thickness to return.

In all honesty, I was a little wary about how something so little could work like a dream, but how wrong I was! The Tangle Teezer is so small it fits snug in the palm of your hand, with bristles that come in varying lengths. The bristles are short, very flexible and don't tear at your hair like many other brushes.

For me, this doesn't smoothly cut through the tangles, but it does work like a miracle compared to any other brush I have EVER used. Literally. I can't believe I hadn't tried it sooner!! No longer do I have to grab hold of my hair tightly for it to not sting my scalp.. I can run this through my hair with no pain whatsoever which is a dream for me! Admittedly, I have to run it a few times on the underneath of my hair, but it is nothing compared to what I used to have to do before it was in my life.

The ONLY downside I have to it, is that as I use it in the shower, it gets a little slippy, but there is also one now with a handle and I chose not to have that one as I wanted one I could closely grip.
All in all, the tangle teezer is worth every penny. It has drastically reduced the time I take to get through my tangles, and to have something that doesn't tug, pull or hurt in any way but still has the same outcome, is a life changer for me. I couldn't be without it now!

(`Please note: These photos are of the Tangle Teezer after 4 months daily use, hence the curved bristles - obviously they do not come like this!)

This miracle item can be found in Boots stores but also on Amazon and many other stores for around £9-£11. Enjoy!

Weekly Ins and Outs

Ins: 

On Tuesday, Mum and I used our vouchers we'd bought each other for beauty treatments a long while ago! Mum had a massage and a facial, I had a facial and my eyebrows shaped. I still have a voucher from my most recent birthday off Tasha to use and cannot wait to have another facial again, it was amazing! The beautician massaged my neck and shoulders too and I almost fell asleep it was all so relaxing!

 That afternoon Mum and I popped to town to buy my birthday and very early christmas present from her and dad....my new Canon 50mm lens..it is amazing and I am so happy! I cannot wait to use it to shoot at my friend's wedding in February!

As I had Tuesday and Wednesday off work, I spent all that day being relaxed and then went round to Liam's. On Wednesday we treated ourselves to lunch at a local Indian restaurant where the set menu was really cheap and the food was delicious!! After that, we went off to the cinema to watch the new Batman film which was amazing. If anyone hasn't seen it, and has seen the others, go watch it! We did this all over lunch and had an early evening as I had to work at 6 the next morning...not nice.

The girls: Kay, Laura and me x

On Saturday night, some of us decided to be patriotic and go out dressed in Olympic outfits. It is an annual tradition for my friends to do pub golf at the end of July / start of August yet I had never done it before with them all. We all looked hilarious but was a great night, especially as we walked into a pub just as Jessica Ennis had got her gold medal so felt we were really supporting her! For some reason we all did each hole / pub in one and surprising we were all okay! Safe to say, work at 9 the next morning wasn't great...especially as I had to work until 6 and had only come home about 4am!

The boys: Joe, Jord, Arron and Liam x

 For those of you that have me on Facebook, you will soon be able to see more!

Sunday evening came too slowly, but was nice to see almost everyone again at football that evening...with a special lady...Lilly that I showed you a photo of a few weeks ago. She is growing quickly, but can't believe she is already 4 weeks old. It definitely made my day seeing her there on my very hungover Sunday!

Outs: 

I can't actually say there has been anything bad this week minus the hangover..and the workload but that's all my fault needing money!

In case anyone is wondering, as a follow up to last weeks post, I have spoken to my Gran and she is happy to lend me some money to do my course..I am soo appreciative of it as I literally did not think I could afford to do the course after not being able to get any funding for it but am really pleased I can!...even if I will still need to be working a lot..and again, shameless plug: look at my ebayyy! :P

I hope you all have a great week, I have my two days off today and Wednesday and am looking forward to spending the first sorting out my friend's wedding contracts for being her photographer, and Wednesday, meeting my blogger friends Charlotte and Rachel in Sheffield for a shopping day!.....Also am sure I will be looking forward to pay day on Friday! Haha.
