I got one today. They were sold out at my usual Sally's and flying of the shelves at the one that I was able to find it. I was anxious to try it out so, I immediately tried it out onmy poor unsuspecting, tender-headed, thick 4A/4B daughter...dry. She likes towear her hair in a big afro puff which is only really detangled when washed and just has the edges brushed up in place while the hairline edges are braided down. And, truthfully, the tangle teaser looked like a punk by comparison. And when I unleashed the hair to expose the magnitude of the beast, I got scared and decided to start with a 2" section.
TT breezed through it, uncoiling while we were amazed. I did work tip to root because of my doubt. But, when she said it felt like I was using a soft brush, I couldn't believe it. I grabbed another section and went root to tip. Not only was it detangling it, it was smoothing it, making he dry hair look shinier. What the?! Then I flipped her hair up, heading straight for the kitchen. Clean up was a breeze, pain-free and looked silkier.
I took the two hairline braids loose and used a detangling comb on one and the TT on the other. TT was painless. The comb was not.
i'm going to try it when washinh her hair next but, we give it two thumbs up.
Also, I was so excited that I thought i'd try it on my hair next. I detangled half my head yesterday and gave up becuz my ng was showing out. Decided to wait on TT. My hair was moisturized from last night and I did a whole head bagy so my hair was damp. TT breezed through my ng and laid it down beautifully. I'll also try it in my hair at my next cowash but, for me, two thumbs up.
I've never tried a Denman so, I can't compare them. But uh, we can definitely work with TT at our house.
