The longer my daughters hair gets the fuller, curlier, and more unruly it becomes. I am always looking for new products to help brush through her tangles and that will ease hair time. When I came across the Smoobee “Magic, No Cry Hair Brush” I knew we had to try it. Anything that says it helps with tangles is something worth trying…
The Smoobee brush is a wooden brush with two types of bristles. It comes in fun, girly colors and you can even bedazzle it to give it some extra flair!
I had really high hopes for this brush, but using it on my daughters hair had it’s Pros and Cons. I always try to tie my daughters hair up before she goes to bed since it cuts down on the amount of tangles she will wake up with.
Pros: When I brushed her hair after it being tied up for the night the Smoobee was able to tackle her hair with no detangler and little crying, tugging, and snagging. It combed through her hair great after bath time when her hair is wet and has little to no tangles. In these situations, the brush worked better then other brushes I have used on her hair.
Cons: The problem I encountered was on the days where I forgot to tie up her hair and it was a complete mess. Even with lots of detangling spray, my daughter was screaming her head off and the brush was pulling, snagging, and ripping her hair. It was a total nightmare.
According to their website “For intensely curly hair, it will still take much effort but at least Smoobee can make it fun.” I am not sure what their idea of fun is but when my daughter sees this brush, she runs away screaming.
If you have a child with straight or wavy hair I think this brush could be a good fit, but if you have a daughter like mine who has thick and very curly hair then I doubt this brush would be a good fit.
Smoobee can be purchased via their website for $23.99.

Damp the hair
i just brush em out, they dont really hurt just more of a hassle than anything
We currently use a spray in detangler spray on our little one, but this brush would sure help! Her hair is so long and no matter what there are always “ouches”!
My daughter has 2 girls with long hair, one of which is real curly. She has to use Johnsons detangler on their hair before brushing.
I use conditioner on my daughters hair and then brush it out while it is wet. We brush it out every day, so the tangles don’t get out of control.
We have to leave conditioner on our daughter’s hair.
My daughter uses conditioner and we have a no tangles spray. (that doesn’t work too well)
Thanks for the chance to win!
Try a leave in conditioning spray before brushing =)
Hmmm. It would be worth the price (uff da!) if it worked perfectly every time.
I used conditioner in my daughters hair, and then wet it in the morning when I brush it out. I hate the constant tears each time I brush her hair!
By putting it in a braid brfore bedtime
I actually spray detangler in it after a shower and before be and that seems to help to keep it smooth and tangle free and I always brush it before bed time.
I avoid brushing my hair when wet – it can feel next to impossible to detangle when it’s damp.
We use way too much hair conditioner!
Tangles are killer. i always hated them before. I think it’s worse when someone else is brushing your hair because they don’t know their own strength/how to do it. maybe real hairstylists are the only ones who are good at it, and mothers too.
leave in conditioning
brushing EVERY single day
We have to leave conditioner on our daughter’s hair.
I use lots of conditioner on my hair or I would not be able to get a brush through it.

I’m going to try the leave-in conditioner. Which I had thought of that before.
I use a moisturizing conditioner and I think it helps reduce tangles.

we use leave in conditioner to help with tangles
We always try to ge the tangles out right after we wash her hair. It is much easier when my daughter’s hair is wet.
lots of conditioner lol
start at the end of the hair and work up–little at a time. and creme rinse after shampoo, and maybe keeping the hair short–I don’t know.

I try and prevent bad tangles by braiding my daughters long curly hair before bed,but it doesnt always work!
I brush my hair before i get into the shower. So when I get out, its easier to brush

I use No More Tangles but it’s still rough!
for me and my daughter we have curly hair use argan oil before shampooing.
I’ve found that my daughters hair seems to be less tangled when it’s dry as opposed to wet. I do have some detangler spray we use sometimes though.
My dd actually has stick straight hair. But I do comb it when necessary.
My daughter has enough hair for 3 people and it’s loose natural curls…. and tangles horribly. She has to use lots of conditioner to keep it from being a tangled mess.
conditioner and detangler
Mine are so bad that I actually have to hold parts of my hair in my palm before I brush, just so it doesn’t pull
Use conditioner either the leave in or the rinse out.
I have my husband brush my tangles
We have a wide tooth comb that I use to get the tangles out.
We try to brush it in the morning and evening and add some detangling spray when it gets really bad.
Use conditioner and comb out in shower.
I do not take very good care of my hair need to use better hair prodects
I use the children’s detangler on my own hair
I comb (or pick) my hair out each night and before I wash it. It really helps!

I bought spray in detanglers for my oldest because we struggled with tangles. Her hair was straight – now I have a baby with curly hair. Yikes.
I try to prevent them with conditioner.
I use alot of conditioner
We make sure to brush hair out before going to sleep and many times wear it in braids! That way in the morning there is less tangled and it has a nice wave to it! Thanks!
We always use detangler spray!
condition, condition, condition

I wouls like to win this for my daughter. As of now, we use conditioner and detangler. Thanks for the giveaway.
I like using a 2/1 shampooconditioner Comg hair while still wet because once it dries their hair is like a rats nest

i untangle my hair right after i wash it.
I use a ton of conditioner… then leave in conditioner!
I have very long curly hair. I never brush my hair wet. I only use a pick when wet. I use conditioner everytime I wash my hair, and DO NOT wash it everyday. That helps keep tangles minimal.
Always use a detangler
I braid my hair at night to prevent tangles, and to get rid of them takes a wide-tooth comb and an hour or two.
We use a lot of thick conditioner
i brush the hair before bed and put into a bun
My 5 yo daughter has a head of natural curls. Paul Mitchell makes a leave in conditioner that helps tame them. CVS brand detangle spray is the best I’ve found.
