This £14 de-tangling brush is ‘so gentle on hair' that it reduces breakage by 77%
If you've ever dyed, bleached, chemically treated or even just heat styled your hair, you'll be familiar with how easily breakage can happen. The summer is also a notoriously tricky time for your hair, with sun exposure, heat and humidity all causing it to dry out, and that's before you even consider the effects chlorine and salt water can have on it on holiday.
Whilst hydrating hair masks can help reverse some signs of breakage, it doesn't fix the main root of the problem. If you do have dry or damaged hair, you'll know that brushing it can be a major source of trouble for your locks, with the wrong brush actually ripping out knots and tangles, or causing too much friction on your delicate strands. That's why we'll be swapping our usual brush for Tangle Teezer's The Ultimate Detangler Extra Gentle, which promises to reduce breakage by 77%.
The Ultimate Detangler Extra Gentle has been carefully engineered to be as gentle on your hair as it can possibly be, whilst still being effective and working out knots and tangles. It has two-tiered teeth – a patented design from Tangle Teezer – which help the brush to glide through your hair, untangling tats without pulling.
It's also more concentrated at the centre of the brush with fewer teeth at the edge, which minimises tension. The result is hair that's stronger, smoother and visibly healthier, all without needing to add a single step to your usual routine.
You can currently pick up the Ultimate Detangler Extra Gentle at LookFantastic for £14, and it comes in a huge range of colours (not to mention a £10.50 mini version). It's also racked up an impressive full five star rating from shoppers, with one happy customer wrote: 'I absolutely love this hair brush!! It's so gentle on the hair.'
Whilst another agreed: 'bought this instead of replacing my original tangle teezer and it's fantastic, its really helped me prevent further breakage on my colour damaged hair.'
Another review wrote: 'Love the original detangler tangle teezer but this brush is definitely more gentle on the hair! These brushes are always worth the money.'
With no negative reviews so far, it seems it's a solid bet that the Ultimate Detangler Extra Gentle is going to look after your locks, keeping them healthy and strong during the tricky summer weather. Elsewhere, we also love REHAB's Vital Hair Brush (£16) which Stacey Solomon swears by for preventing breakage and damage to her own hair.
At Beauty Pie, the Super Healthy Hair Smoothing Paddle Brush is £29 (£17 if you're a Beauty Pie member) and not only gently detangles hair, but helps boost shine and softness too. Made with boar bristles, it helps increase scalp circulation, smooth cuticles and gently tease out tangles and knots for a smooth, shiny finish.

Grow Gorgeous Repair Strengthening Hair and Scalp Mask (Image: Lookfantastic) One thing which you can never overlook when it comes to achieving healthy, shiny hair is the importance of looking after your scalp. Hair masks are a great way to achieve glossy hair to die for, but most of the time you'd never want to apply them to the top of your head because of the amount of oiliness it creates, but the Grow Gorgeous Repair Strengthening Hair and Scalp Mask is designed to work wonders to make your hair really stand out. Now reduced from £25 to £10, this two in one hair mask and scalp treatment reinforces brittle strands and helps to stimulate healthy hair growth according to Lookfantastic. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here The hydrating treatment is infused with nourishing ingredients and cuticle smoothing technology to minimise flyaways and ensure smoother, sleeker strands. Ideal for dry, brittle hair as a result of heat damage or over-processing, the mask boasts a bio-active blend of five ferments, rich in essential minerals of Zinc, Iron, Copper & Magnesium to restore essential nutrients to the hair and scalp. It's also suitable for bleached, chemically and thermally damaged locks according to the beauty retailer. One impressed customer wrote: 'The Grow Gorgeous Repair Strengthening Hair and Scalp Mask is a revitalising treatment for damaged hair. 'It deeply nourishes both hair and scalp, strengthening from root to tip. After use, my hair feels softer, healthier, and more resilient. 'A must-try for anyone looking to restore and repair dry, brittle hair.' Someone else entitled their review "amazing hair mask", and added: 'This was a random buy. I was looking for a moisturising hair mask for my dry hair and this looked decently priced so I just gave it a try. 'My hair instantly looked healthy and soft after the first wash. Recommend it!' Some people had mixed thoughts, but the overall feeling was positive for a lot of shoppers.

Lisa Snowdon-loved 'genuinely impressive' hair loss serum is now on sale
NIOXIN's Anti-Hair Loss Serum Hair Growth Serum works hard to help minimise the risk of breakage Stress, hormonal fluctuations, postnatal recovery, dietary habits, or even wearing tight hairstyles can all lead to hair thinning and loss, irrespective of one's age. While half of women will encounter this at some point in their lives, losing between 50 and 100 strands of hair daily is deemed normal. However, for those experiencing more pronounced hair loss, characterised by an increase in hair left on the brush, a widening parting, or bald patches, it can often lead to a decline in self-esteem. NIOXIN, a brand that has received considerable acclaim for its anti-hair loss products, is endorsed by model and Celebrity Masterchef star Lisa Snowdon, who has openly shared her own experiences with hair loss. In honour of Hair Loss Awareness month, the brand is currently running a promotion on Lookfantastic, which reduces its Anti-Hair Loss Serum Hair Growth Serum for Thinning Hair to £46 from £57.50. Save 75% on beauty box filled with Medik8 and Color Wow products - now £15 but worth £60 Shoppers ditch shower gel for Scottish brand that smells 'like expensive spa' The NIOXIN Anti-Hair Loss Serum Hair Growth Serum is a leave-in serum formulated to minimise the risk of breakage and hair fall. According to Lookfantastic, beauty aficionados who have tried this product have witnessed 'astonishing' results in as little as eight weeks, with 93% of participants in a clinical study experiencing improved hair anchorage. The serum, recommended for use alongside the brand's shampoo and conditioner, is loaded with hair follicle-stimulating caffeine, lauric acid, and niacinamide. The concoction aims to nourish and safeguard the scalp, thereby fostering ideal conditions for healthy hair growth, reports Chronicle Live. Promising denser, more robust hair from the first use, the serum necessitates 15 pumps massaged into the scalp (on either dry or wet hair) and should not be rinsed out. This NIOXIN product rivals the likes of brands such as UKLASH and Skin + Me, whose hair regrowth products have received rave reviews from beauty buffs and celebrities alike. UKLASH's Hair Growth Serum costs a little less at £40 for a one-time purchase and uses active ingredients like AnaGain™ (Pea Sprout Extract), Phytic Acid, and Turmeric to 'revitalise and stimulate hair growth' at the scalp. Skin + Me's The Drops for hair growth are an even more affordable option, currently on sale for £14.99 down from £34.99. With major results reported in three to six months with consistent use, the Skin + Me formula claims to 'reverse loss', 'stop thinning' and 'restore density' with its scientifically proven active ingredients. The NIOXIN serum, endorsed by Lisa Snowdon as a 'game changer' for thinning hair, has been met with stellar feedback from customers. A top-rated review on Lookfantastic's site enthuses: "I've been using Nioxin Anti-Hair Loss Serum for a few weeks, and I'm pretty impressed. The serum is easy to apply. Just pump once on your palm and spread. It doesn't feel greasy or heavy on my scalp. "I've noticed a slight improvement in the thickness of my hair, I have little baldness on my side head, and it seems to be growing back in that area where it was thinning. It doesn't have a strong smell, which I like. "While it's still early to tell if it'll completely stop hair loss, I've seen some positive changes, and I feel more confident about my hair's health. Worth trying it." Another satisfied customer shared their experience, saying: "I have been using the Nioxin Anti-Hair Loss Serum Growth Serum for thinning hair for a few months now, and I am genuinely impressed with the results. Initially, I was sceptical about trying another product for hair thinning, but this serum has exceeded my expectations." They continued: "Over time, my hair has begun to feel thicker, and I'm even noticing some regrowth in areas that were visibly thinning. I also appreciate that the serum has a pleasant, subtle scent, unlike many other treatments I've tried. "It's now a staple in my hair care routine, and I highly recommend it to anyone dealing with thinning hair or looking to improve their scalp health. Nioxin has truly delivered with this product, and I feel much more confident about my hair than I have in years. "I've been using this for about eight months now, and the amount of hair that I shed now in comparison to before is crazy," said another. "It does help with my excess shedding, and also my hairline is looking a bit fuller in the patches that were thinning. I think consistency is key with this." A different buyer emphasised how they noticed changes within just seven days, noting: "The best hair growth serum for hair! I could see results after weeks of using it. You have to be consistent with the product, but it's working well. Great value. Highly recommend". Whilst countless shoppers enjoyed favourable results, some have struggled with progress, with one person explaining: "Have used it a few times, not seen any difference yet, will persevere for longer, isn't making my hair any worse so will just keep going for a while yet." A separate reviewer commented on the NIOXIN treatment: "Very great product! Since I began using this system, my hair loss has slowed down considerably. When using the shampoo with the conditioner and the serum, it has certainly contributed to the health and thickness of my hair."
