The UNbrush has been all over my For You page.

So, I finally decided to try it.

Internet friends, I caved.

After months and months of watching videos online, I was influenced and decided to buy it the TikTok-famousUNbrush.

Now, I’m no stranger to testing detangling brushes.

Months ago,I tried and ranked eight viral brushesand found some new favorites.

My first impressions: The UNbrush has a surprisingly simple, “backless” design.

It has flexible, long and short bristles, and the back has vented holes.

It’s lightweight, which made me wonder how durable it is.

Let’s get to work!

During wash days, I usually detangle my hair with my deep conditioner.

And I’ll be honest with you: I was surprised.

Ultimately, I had thoroughly detangled hair that I could run my fingers through.

Typically, I would stop, finger-detangle the area, and then continue using the comb.

And to my surprise, it went right through the section.

There was no hesitation.

The rest of the detangling went smoothly with the paddle comb here are my results!

The section was completely tangle-free.

At this point, I knew which detangler I liked the most.

I was happy with each result both were thoroughly detangled!

And here’s how much shed hair I had with each brush after detangling.

It was a pretty similar amount, and neither one caused excessive breakage.

I’ve never had such an easy time detangling my hair on wash day.

It’s a lightweight brush but very sturdy.

After washing my hair, I even used the UNbrush while styling my curls.

I loved how easy it was to work with heavier creams and gels.

Plus, the vented holes were easy to clean.

Like, it looks exactly the same.

So, there we have it.

To me, the hype is real.

I’d 100% recommend it!
