In your beach bag

Use on hair first thing and re-apply throughout the day.

Pop this in your beach bag so you can keep on top of tangles throughout the day. The Tangle Teezer’s teeth flex just enough to detangle, without breaking, your hair. Plus, unlike most brushes you can use this from root to tip without hair tugging or becoming matted – genius!
