Not all hairbrushes are created equally – that is something you'll know only too well if your locks are knot-prone.
Brushes with unyielding bristles can snap the strands as you detangle, while those designed to smooth straight hair can make matters worse.
Particularly with curly, coily, and wavy hair types, there's more possibility of damage or matting, which means you need a brush that's created specifically to become gentle yet effective.
Apparently you don't need to spend a great deal to get hold of such a multitasking tool either, as Amazon's best-selling choice for afro hair proves.
The BESTOOL Detangling Brush for Black Natural Locks are priced at just lb8.99, available in a variety of colours, and has over 23,000 five-star reviews.
It has flexible moving arms and a control bar to reduce that painful pulling feeling you might get with other brushes, alongside a sturdy rubber grip handle to prevent throwing it across the room as you detangle.
The bristles are also of sufficient length to undergo thick curls, which makes it a perfect option for hair types from straight to 3/4abc textures.
Although it works on all hair types as well as on wet or dry strands, the secret with this particular brush would be to start vertically and take away knots first, before switching to a horizontal sweep to smooth at the end.
In tests, it designed for 70% less detangling time and 80% less damage compared to others on the market. And comments are equally positive.
One customer who says they used to 'dread' hair wash day calls the BESTOOL brush a 'game changer,' adding: 'I am able to detangle my 3c hair in about quarter of the time, the quantity of hair which comes out has drastically reduced and it barely pulls at all.'
