Knot GenieGenie Supreme Detangling Brush, Knot Fuchsia

My four year old daughter has very fine, very curly hair. She also happens to be extremely sensitive when it comes to her hair being brushed and will often resist having her hair done just to avoid brushing...leading to more tangles, leading to more of a problem. I told her I got this special brush just for her and it's supposed to better for her curly hair.She loves the look of it and made no hesitation to go spend the next 10 minutes in the bathroom by herself, brushing her own hair. Sure, the novelty might wear off after some time, but this definitely is a step up from regular plastic-bristle brushes. It is more gentle overall, but still, you must work through tighter knots with caution, especially if you've got a super-sensitive kid like me.As others have stated, the bristles are very sharp, so you need to use this with caution on more sensitive heads. At least when my daughter brushes her own hair with this brush, she can tell when shes using too much pressure around her scalp and can easily adjust the pressure herself. I could never get her to brush her hair by herself with a regular brush, so this is helpful for me for her to improve the state of her hair before I jump in and finish brushing or styling it.

WOW this brush works. I can't believe it did. My 4 year old has long down to her butt hair, VERY think and curly it is always a chore to brush her hair without making her cry and even harder for my husband he hates doing it. This brush is perfect I don't even have to hold the hair tight up top while brushing the ends or anything. I just go at it with the brush and not one tear. I have brushed her hair even after going swimming and going driving with the windows open and by the time i got home her hair was dry and a mess, I thought for sure this will be the test, sure enough not one scream or tear didn't even have to use leave in conditioner or anything. I got to say when i opened the box and saw it and felt the bristles on it i thought for sure i would be returning it because it felt so cheap and no way it would hold up to brush my daughters thick hair because the bristles are so soft and flexible but its been 4 days for very hard brushing and tons of knots and still looks new and all bristles still there. I also like that there is no knobs at the end of the tips so it doesn't put out as much hair as the normal brushes which is nice, now for this brush though i have to brush a little more and have to go from underneath too and the sides because her hair is so thick and can't get through it all just from the front side but that is fine with me since she doesn't cry anymore and finally my husband can brush her hair also, going to go buy one now without a handle to keep in the car for brushing both mine and her hair after driving with the windows down and things like that.

Seems like the quality has taken a nose dive. I’ve always used this brand on my children’s hair. Recently replaced brushes with these and they just feel different. Almost like a cheap plastic. Oh yeah, and they pull hair. Doesn’t that defeat the point? Not impressed.

This brush is amazing! My daughter has long curly hair. She is of mixed race. Her hair is the exact same texture as mine, also of mixed race. Our hair is corkscrew curly but not tight. We both need mousse or styling lotion to really hold the curl nicely. Both of our hair gets frizzy in humidity or when sweating and pretty tangled when we wear it out....especially in summer. So, to the rescue comes this gem of a brush! My daughter was fine with a wide toothed comb but because this brush came so highly recommended from a friend who was using it on her daughters curls I purchased it. It's simply amazing! First of all, it's big and fun. Makes brushing your hair seem like a magnificent event instead of a chore. I love that it's hollow and you can kind of hear an echo as it moves through your hair. The bristles are hard and feel good, like the massage your scalp has been dreaming of! You just have to be careful not to brush to hard on little ones scalps. My daughter is 6 and loves how this thing massages her head. I start at the bottom and work my way up just like the wide toothed comb. It works much better. The different length bristles really act as smothers as they separate the hair. I'm able to achieve fatter, more banana curls with this brush. I liked it so much I got a green one for me! So if that's not a ringing endorsement I don't know what is. I love my Genie brush and so does my daughter! We've had them about 4 months and they are still like new. Some of the bristles do bend a bit but they are somewhat flexable and it has made no difference in performance.

I have 3 girls, all with different hair types. The oldest is a swimmer and her hair is long and a disaster most of the time. This brush does amazingly quick work making her look presentable. The middle had curly hair a toddler but has since just turned to wild thick hair. She is the reason I bought this brush. While yes the bristles look like they can't handle thick hair - they can. The point (I believe) of the multiple tiny flexible bristles is to NOT yank out their hair. Each little bristle gently works on the tangles vs just yanking out the hair - we hardly ever have hair in the brush now. My youngest has stick straight thin "baby" hair... while this brush does nothing to keep her flyaway hair tamed it does QUICKLY without pulling out (the very minimal) hair she has get the tangles out so she can run off in seconds vs, minutes of brushing. This brush made me think I just spent "how much?" for the little bit of plastic that looks no different than the girls barbie brushes.... but trust me - it IS amazing - and give it a chance and it will get the tangles out...Oh and about the bristles scratchy feeling on the scalp... I have found that most of the girls tangles aren't really at the scalp - and because the brush does such a great job gently getting tangles out we hardly ever have to "brush" their scalp... we have just adjusted our brushing technique to limit the amount og pressure at the scalp - and I think the girls just said something in the begining because it was a different feeling.

These brushes certainly work wonders for tangled kids hair.But they are mega-cheaply made. The plastic is very thin and very cheap and very breakable. These products probably cost $0.50 to make and they sell for $25.00 which is outrageous. I wish they would make a higher quality product for that price.I would give it a 5* rating if I had any faith that it will last for more than a year.

This works really well - the bristles are flexible so it doesn't hurt as much. It can take a little longer since it doesn't grab the tangles as much as hard bristles but it's worth the reduced pain.

My daughter loves this brush. She usually hates having her hair brushed and complains it's painful but with the knot genie she no longer complains. Thank you. A+++

This was terrible. My daughter said it was the worst brush she has ever tried. Not happy with it at all. The bristles are so flexible that they bend over when you try to brush your hair. :(
