Tangle Teezer… worthy of its cult status?

Short answer: Yes. Stick around and I’ll tell you why I agree that the Tangle Teezer most definitely deserves its cult status.

Tangle Teezer… worthy of its cult status?

A Tangle Teezer was on my birthday wish list and the amazing girls of Freebees PR & Marketing surprised me with one. Birthday made! Thank you again.

I have always been curious to know if the Tangle Teezer is truly worth the hype. I have those cheap ‘knock-offs’ and I couldn’t help but wonder if there really was such a big difference between these detanglers and the Tangle Teezer. If you’ve ever wondered the same thing, let me tell you now: there is no comparison!

We received a Tangle Teezer Compact. How gorgeous is this design?

Tangle Teezer... worthy of its cult status?

When I say ‘we’, I mean Cara and myself. All the hair care goodies I try, are used on these curls as well…

I try very hard to care for my little girl’s locks as best I can. I want her to one day love her curls as much as I do.

Firstly, let me tell you how and when detangling of our curly mops happen… combs touch our hair only on wash days and when loads of conditioner covers every strand. I wash my hair every day and honestly I don’t really struggle to detangle my hair. During summer, Cara’s hair is also washed every day (sweat, playschool sand, etc) and even then, detangling is a chore. When we can skip a day or two between washes (which I prefer) you can only imagine how hard it is. Cara also sleeps on her back and the matted mess on the back of her head some mornings is quite a sight to behold.  Detangling of Cara’s hair is a tediously time-consuming and (rather) painful task.

Here is where the Tangle Teezer has come to the rescue. I can (for the first time!) detangle Cara’s hair when it is dry and the process is a lot less painstaking than before. The whole process is easier, quicker and there is a lot less hair fall and breakage when using the Tangle Teezer. I am so impressed! This product is worth every single cent.

Tangle Teezer Compact

This is the version of the Tangle Teezer that we have. What I love about it is the that it fits comfortably in my hand, it comes with a cap to protect the bristles and it comes in super cute designs. This is a handbag must-have.

Tangle Teezer Aqua Splash

This one I have to get!! Aqua Splash has been specifically designed to be used on wet hair. The light weight, hollow design and rounded edges makes for easy handling and minimal damage to wet hair. This is a must have for curly hair.

Tangle Teezer Magic Flowerpot

The Flowerpot will make any little girl’s heart skip a beat. The design is so pretty and the little pot is perfect to hold a couple of pretty hair accessories. One Christmas Cara and Mieke (Cara’s bestie and cousin) will wake up to find these in their stockings. Too cute.

The Tangle Teezers that I mentioned above all retail for R260 on Retail Box and are also available at most top salons. The original goes for R230. Credit to Retail Box for the images of Aqua Splash and Flowerpot.

I know this is expensive, but I promise you, it’s worth it. Especially if you have little ones and struggle to get those lovely locks detangled.

Two thumbs up!

INOAR Absolut DayMoist Shampoo and Conditioner Review

This hair care brand can do no wrong in my books. You can read previews posts and reviews of INOAR HERE and HERE. Today I want to tell you about the new INOAR Absolut DayMoist range.

INOAR Absolut DayMoist Shampoo and Conditioner

INOAR Absolut DayMoist

 

This is what INOAR says:

The action of the synergic complex of the Cornstarch and the Beet Extract, along with the exclusive Daymoist CLRTM, restores the hair protecting the integrity of the Alpha Helix in charge of the keratin maintenance. It increases hair elasticity, preserves colour and shine, protects from discolouring and prepares the hair for high temperature treatments.

Now, I have no idea what exactly an Alpha Helix is or what the benefits of cornstarch and beet extract is in hair care products, nor do I really care. What matters to me is how the products perform. And my oh my, does it perform.

I had the opportunity to try the shampoo and conditioner and both are absolute winners.

The INOAR Absolut DayMoist Shampoo is most definitely one of the best shampoos I have ever used. If you have dry and/or damaged hair like me, you have to try it. My hair is left super soft after every wash. I have to remind myself to apply conditioner as my hair is so silky that I can actually detangle it without it. Curly girls will know that we usually need handfuls of conditioner to do that. This shampoo leaves my hair feeling clean, nourished and cared for. The word ‘wow’ comes to mind every time I think about it. The product itself is thick and luxurious and has a beautifully sweet and creamy scent. It truly is a treat to use. INOAR Absolut DayMoist Shampoo (250ml) retails for R220.

The INOAR Absolut DayMoist Conditioner is also a goodie. The conditioner was actually lighter than I expected yet it still did exactly what I need it to. My hair feels soft and nourished, detangling is quick and easy and my hair is super shiny after use. It also doesn’t weigh my hair down at all. A little goes a long way. INOAR Absolut DayMoist Conditioner (250ml) retails for R220.

There is also a mask in the range. What it does: The mask was developed with flower extracts and an exclusive formula with an ultra-hydrating DayMoist CLRTM for intense conditioning and glow, recovery of hair elasticity, easy combing and protection of hair damaged by heat and colouring. It’s said to provide instant shine and restoration. I haven’t had the opportunity to try it yet, but judging by the quality and efficacy of the shampoo and conditioner, I’m sure it is a gem. The INOAR Absolut DayMoist Mask (250ml) retails for R350.

You can purchase these beauties from INOAR Professional Stockist Hair Salons or you can order directly from the INOAR Head Office in Pretoria. Phone +27 12 686 7067 or email info@inoar.co.za.
