Best Brushes To Detangle Your Natural Curly + Kinky Hair

Crying, squirming, and trying to run away from the comb is an experience all too real for most people growing up with natural curly and coily hair. Detangling natural hair has traditionally been a pain for many because we weren’t encouraged to embrace our hair texture, much less how to take care of it properly. But now it’s 2019, we have YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest and enough natural hair tutorials to last a lifetime- and that’s JUST how we like it! If you were never taught the proper tools to use to detangle natural hair, here are a few that will make wash day a breeze!


(Pro Tip: As opposed to straight hair, one of the most popular ways to detangle curly + coily natural hair is to detangle while hair is wet and has product-like conditioner in it! This allows for hair to detangle without as much pulling, with less snags and less breakage!)


  1. Wide Tooth Comb/ Wide Tooth Shower Comb

If you’ve been using any ol’ comb lying around you’ve been doing it all wrong. Wide tooth combs are the BEST COMBS to use when detangling curly and coily hair. They are useful because the space between its teeth are big enough to detangle natural hair and allow your curls to clump in a natural way. In fact, wide tooth shower combs in particular are great because it’s made to use while your hair is wet and has products like conditioner in it. It comes with a curved handle that’s less likely to slip out of your hands, and it can easily be hung up on a shower rod too!
