• The Wet Brush has Intelliflex bristles, which are thinner than your normal hair brush
• The Intelliflex bristles are very flexible, running through the strands of your hair instead of pulling it
• The Wet Brush has ultra soft tips that will never come off
• Works on wet and dry hair
• For almost all hair types
• Ideal for sensitive scalp and long hair
• Also great for wigs and weaves!
• There is also the Shine, Hot, and Blo Brush available

REVIEW

So I'm not really big into fads, and most of the time I just ignore what's popular at the moment. Until I needed a new hairbrush. Because my old one was pretty ratty looking, and it was for kids! 

I mean come on, it's Hello Kitty. Who wouldn't want to brush their hair with Hello Kitty!?

Anyway, the glue was wearing out, Hello Kitty started to look like her insides were being disembowelled - it was time for a new brush. It wasn't the greatest of brushes. I think it took about 30-40 seconds to untangle my long hair, or until I was fed up with brushing it.

After reading Allie's review on The Ultimate Detangling Brush, I had to ask if it actually worked. Allie wasn't there to reply, but Amy was, and she suggested The Wet Brush. With all the wonderful reviews it got, I got one the next day.

Shipping took a day because I got it shipped from Vancouver. Yes, I'm that lazy. But when you live in a city as big as Vancouver, driving or taking transit for a hair brush seems too out of the way. In total I paid $20, with $3 shipping.

Looks pretty normal, right?

The brush has a soft yet grippy texture. I got black because I couldn't decide on a colour, and didn't want to pay extra for all the cool designs that they had. 

This was my hair before. I had just got back from an interview. (which I  got the job for... hurrah!)

 I had been out for about two hours. Looks messy and frizzy.

Honestly, I didn't think this would work.

But it did!

And let me tell you, I'm pleased with it. It took me under 10 seconds to brush my hair. That's 70% less time than brushing with Hello Kitty. It literally went straight through my hair.

It looks like a lot that came out on the brush, but it wasn't. Since my hair is so long, some does come out naturally. I actually picked each individual strand out counting it, and the majority of them were split ends. I haven't cut my hair since December... so obviously it'll look like less than what I have.

OMG! The Wet Brush definitely has my seal of approval!

(Yes, that was my face when I tried it out for the first time)

UPDATE: After spending some time with the wet brush, I still consider this brush a lot more gentler on my hair... at times. If I tease my hair, or if it gets windy and my hair gets tangled, the wet brush CANNOT take out the little knots in my hair and actually hurts my scalp! So I have to use my wide tooth comb. My hair still combs out in the wet brush like any ordinary brush, but again I have pretty long thick hair. I probably wouldn't buy it again, and stick with a bristle brush and my wide-tooth comb! This brush is best suited for people with shorter hair than I, or someone who has straight hair (I'm naturally curly).

Allie's review

My application process was very similar to Raelene's.  for my shampoo I used Selsun Blue Dandruff control.  This time of the year because the season change I usually get dandruff and I find that helps control it better than any product I've used thus far.  I didn't use any conditioner because I do find that any hair treatment acts as one as it is.  Since I have curly hair I didn't bother brushing it out before applying the hair mask either.  I put my hair mask on my wet hair and just bought a shower cap to leave it in overnight. I was nervous about keeping the hair pack in overnight due to my dandruff, sometimes conditioner or products will cause dandruff as well, but considering I didn't work the next day I figured, why not?  In the morning it still hadn't soaked in my whole hair but that is fine.  I got in the shower to rinse it off and my hair felt SO soft. Also, I didn't notice any more or less dandruff so that is always a bonus. I didn't feel the need to use the small package as conditioner because the hair pack itself did a fine job acting as a conditioner.  Will save the small pack for another use.  I let my hair air dry as I normally would.  Didn't put any Argan oils in because I wanted to get the full effect of this product itself. 

Pictures don't exactly do this justice but you can see that there is indeed shine.  My hair is really soft, shiny and less tangly despite being curly and all. Protip:If you have curly hair you're not supposed to brush it! Just let it do it's thang gurls, it's beautiful.   I would probably buy this product again, but so far after using one package I don't see any significant difference between this mask and using conditioner with Argan oils after your shower.

You can purchase hair masks at your local drug store, Target or WalMart. I bought mine at WalMart for under $3.

Raelene's Review

First of all I'd like to apologize I haven't been updating lately. Last week Wednesday I had moved from Winnipeg to Vancouver and haven't had the time (or the means) to update anything. So sorry but I'm back and I'll try to update as often as I can!

I first purchased the Avocado hair mask with my first and only Rose Rose Shop order. When I first opened the package I loved the smell of it. It wasn't a super strong smell or not a very flowery smell, but a nice, 'mature' fragrance.

What I did with my hair mask was left it in my hair over night with a sleeping cap on. The instructions on the packet were fairly different but I usually leave hair masks on overnight.

When I woke up my hair felt a bit... weird. I often dye my hair and it felt like it didn't much to it. 

So I washed my hair as per usual and after I washed it (shampoo, conditioner) I put in the second little packet in before blow drying my hair. Again, not much of a difference but I continue to like the smell so much I used it again.

Although I do really like it after I straighten or blow dry my hair because it gets rid of all my fly-aways and unwanted frizziness. So I do recommend using the second packet as maybe a type of hair serum after you style your hair. 

Would I buy these hair masks again? Not really. They were okay, and I really like the smell, but they didn't do much to it. All the other masks smell the same also, which was a bit disappointing. I expected different smells or at least textures to each package, but it was basically the same thing in different packaging.
