Your hair type
If you have curly hair, a detangling brush plays a super important role in your haircare routine. It reduces breakage, which in turn results in less frizz and flyaways, and it promotes your natural curl pattern for extra definition. If you are a Curly Girl Method stan (and follow the rules), you can only use four types of detangling brushes (i.e., wide-toothed comb, Wet Brush, Tangle Teezer, or a classic Denman brush) only while your hair is wet—but that's a story for another day.
Curls aren't the only hair type prone to tangles. If you have fine or thin, damaged hair, you want to look for a detangling brush with gentle boar bristles, like the Crown Affair Brush No. 003, as you won't have to use as much pressure to smooth your hair. On the other hand, a boar bristle brush won't do much for detangling thick hair, as you'll need a brush with varying lengths of bristles to reach your scalp and avoid unnecessary tugging, like the Ouidad Thick Hair Paddle Detangler.
How you're styling your hair
Unlike traditional brushes, which can often cause hair to break from too much tension or become more tangled, detangling brushes work to *gently* work out knots, making styling and your haircare routine much easier. If you're looking for an everyday brush, you should opt for something like the Tangle Teezer. If you want to blow-dry your hair, use a round brush, like the AIMIKE Nano Thermal Ceramic & Ionic Hair Brush. If you follow the CGM, you probably already have a wide-toothed comb, Wet Brush, Tangle Teezer, or a classic Denman brush. And if you're looking for a brush for in-shower use, a Wet Brush is your BFF.
