If you’ve ever dyed, bleached, chemically treated or even just heat styled your hair, you’ll be familiar with how easily breakage can happen. The summer is also a notoriously tricky time for your hair, with sun exposure, heat and humidity all causing it to dry out, and that’s before you even consider the effects chlorine and salt water can have on it on holiday.

Whilst hydrating hair masks can help reverse some signs of breakage, it doesn’t fix the main root of the problem. If you do have dry or damaged hair, you’ll know that brushing it can be a major source of trouble for your locks, with the wrong brush actually ripping out knots and tangles, or causing too much friction on your delicate strands. That’s why we’ll be swapping our usual brush for Tangle Teezer’s The Ultimate Detangler Extra Gentle, which promises to reduce breakage by 77%.

The Ultimate Detangler Extra Gentle has been carefully engineered to be as gentle on your hair as it can possibly be, whilst still being effective and working out knots and tangles. It has two-tiered teeth – a patented design from Tangle Teezer – which help the brush to glide through your hair, untangling tats without pulling.

It’s also more concentrated at the centre of the brush with fewer teeth at the edge, which minimises tension. The result is hair that’s stronger, smoother and visibly healthier, all without needing to add a single step to your usual routine.

You can currently pick up the Ultimate Detangler Extra Gentle at LookFantastic for £14, and it comes in a huge range of colours (not to mention a £10.50 mini version). It’s also racked up an impressive full five star rating from shoppers, with one happy customer wrote: “I absolutely love this hair brush!! It’s so gentle on the hair.”

Whilst another agreed: “bought this instead of replacing my original tangle teezer and it’s fantastic, its really helped me prevent further breakage on my colour damaged hair.”

Another review wrote: “Love the original detangler tangle teezer but this brush is definitely more gentle on the hair! These brushes are always worth the money.”

With no negative reviews so far, it seems it’s a solid bet that the Ultimate Detangler Extra Gentle is going to look after your locks, keeping them healthy and strong during the tricky summer weather. Elsewhere, we also love REHAB’s Vital Hair Brush (£16) which Stacey Solomon swears by for preventing breakage and damage to her own hair.

At Beauty Pie, the Super Healthy Hair Smoothing Paddle Brush is £29 (£17 if you’re a Beauty Pie member) and not only gently detangles hair, but helps boost shine and softness too. Made with boar bristles, it helps increase scalp circulation, smooth cuticles and gently tease out tangles and knots for a smooth, shiny finish.
