The Crave Naturals Flex DMC Detangling Brush is a wide-toothed hair tool specifically designed for these needs. It has five flexible rows of bristles that are long and sturdy but with plenty of give to them, so they won’t yank your hair out of your head. Instead, the design redistributes potential pressure and gives the scalp a soothing massage as it gently works its way through thick and curly tangles. To buy: $15; amazon.com. Happy reviewers say this brush is better than the popular Wet Brush, a tool designed for many of the same needs. One even said they liked it so much that they’d buy more as gifts—but only for people who truly love their hair. “I have thick, straight, oily hair,” the shopper wrote. “Keeping my hair tamed has been a journey of brush discoveries. It glides through hair like butter and doesn’t pull or snag on wet hair. I would definitely gift this to a friend or family member who loves to take care of their hair.”
