Tangle Teezer Original Mini childrens hair brush

Description

This Tangle Teezer unicorn brush, the Original Mini Pink Unicorn, is a small detangling brush for children that works through knots in wet or dry hair without pulling or tugging. The pink brush carries a unicorn with a rainbow mane, and its shape sits nicely in a small hand.

What is the Tangle Teezer unicorn Original Mini?

The Original Mini is the smaller version of Tangle Teezer’s well-known brush, The Original. It may be small, but it detangles just as easily as its bigger sibling. It measures about 9.9 × 6.6 cm. So it fits a child’s palm and the small front pocket of a school bag. There is no handle: you hold the brush directly in your palm. That makes brushing simple and natural for a child.

The design is also known as Rainbow the Unicorn. A pale pink body, a rainbow-coloured mane and a sweet unicorn face turn everyday hair brushing into a game that children look forward to instead of dreading.

Two-tiered teeth

The secret of the brush is its patented two-tiered tooth system. The long, flexible teeth detangle and remove knots and help reduce breakage. The shorter teeth smooth the hair cuticle, so hair stays shiny and free of frizz. The teeth have a regular flex and suit fine and straight to wavy hair best.

The teeth move softly through the hair, so brushing stays gentle and calm. That is a big relief for both child and parent. It helps most on busy mornings before nursery or school, when time is short.

How to use the brush

1. Hold the brush in your palm with the teeth facing the hair.
2. Start at the ends and work up towards the roots with short strokes.
3. For longer hair, divide it into sections and brush each section separately.
4. Finish with a few long, smoothing strokes from the crown to the ends.

The brush works on both wet and dry hair. After a bath or a swim it glides through wet hair, and in the morning it quickly tidies the tangles that formed overnight.

Moments when a small brush saves the day

A child’s day is full of moments that leave hair in a tangle. Think of a windy playground, a woolly hat, sports practice, swimming lessons or a long car ride to grandma’s. The Tangle Teezer unicorn brush fits into a school bag, a sports bag or a handbag. Tidy hair is always within reach. Many children like to hold the brush themselves and brush their dolls’ hair too. That is exactly how brushing becomes something they do on their own.

With a small brush a child learns to brush their own hair. When the brush fits the hand and does not pull, they want to use it every day. Morning and evening brushing then becomes an easy habit that needs no reminders and no persuading.

A gift for a little unicorn fan

The Tangle Teezer unicorn brush makes a cheerful present for a birthday, Christmas or a name day. It is a practical item that gets used every day. At the same time it is so pretty that children love to show it to their friends. The brush comes in a colourful box, so it is ready to give as it is.
