Original Detangler

The Wet Brush Original Detangler is the brand’s signature brush. It features IntelliFlex bristles that bend when they encounter a knot and then return to their original position.

This flexibility allows the brush to work progressively through tangles instead of pulling directly against them. Use it after showering, during styling or on dry hair for everyday touch-ups.

Which hair types can use the Original Detangler?

The Original Detangler works with multiple hair types:

• Straight or lightly wavy hair
• Fine and fragile hair
• Long hair that tangles easily
• Thick hair when divided into sections
• Curly hair during wet detangling
• Natural, colour-treated or chemically treated hair

Wet Brush IntelliFlex technology

IntelliFlex bristles are designed to be thin and flexible. They adapt to the movement of the brush and create less resistance than very rigid bristles when encountering a knot.

According to independent testing cited by Wet Brush, IntelliFlex bristles can produce up to 55% less breakage than a leading competitor. Results may vary according to hair type, condition and brushing technique.

Even when using a detangling brush, work through knots progressively and avoid forcing the brush through significant resistance.

Wet Brush Disney

Wet Brush Disney collections combine Original Detangler features with artwork inspired by popular characters. Designs may feature Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Stitch and other Disney favourites.

Suitable for children and adults, these brushes can make everyday detangling more enjoyable. Available characters, colours and designs vary by collection and inventory.

Disney Collection Detangler

The Disney Collection Detangler offers a standard-size brush with an ergonomic handle. It is suitable for everyday detangling on wet or dry hair.

Disney Mini Detangler

The Disney Mini Detangler provides similar benefits in a compact format. It fits easily into a purse, school bag, gym bag or suitcase.

Is Wet Brush suitable for children?

Yes. The flexible bristles help reduce pulling, making detangling more comfortable for many children.

For severely tangled hair, divide it into small sections and apply a leave-in detangler. Hold the section above the knot while brushing to limit tension on the scalp.

Wet Brush for curly hair

A Wet Brush can detangle wavy, curly, coily and textured hair. To preserve definition, curls are generally best detangled while damp and coated with conditioner or a leave-in detangler.

How to detangle curly hair

1. Thoroughly wet or dampen the hair.
2. Apply conditioner or a leave-in product providing sufficient slip.
3. Divide the hair into several sections.
4. Begin detangling at the ends.
5. Work gradually toward the roots.
6. Rinse or apply styling products according to your routine.

Brushing curly hair when completely dry can separate the curl pattern and increase volume or the appearance of frizz. This result may or may not be desirable depending on the intended style.

Wet Brush for fine or fragile hair

Fine hair can break more easily when wet or severely tangled. Flexible Wet Brush bristles help detangle with reduced resistance, but gentle technique remains essential.

Do not begin directly at the roots. Detangle the final few inches first and gradually work upward. If a knot resists, use your fingers or add detangling product rather than pulling harder.

Wet Brush for thick or long hair

Work in sections on very thick or long hair so the bristles can reach every layer. A standard-size or larger-surface brush is generally more practical than a Mini Detangler for a full detangling session.

The Mini Detangler remains useful for touch-ups, but its compact size may make complete detangling more time-consuming on dense hair.

Can Wet Brush be used in the shower?

Several Wet Brush models can be used on wet hair. For regular use directly in the shower, verify that the selected model is designed for that environment.

Remove accumulated hair after use and allow the brush to dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid leaving it continuously submerged or in a closed, humid environment.

Can Wet Brush be used with a blow-dryer?

A standard detangling brush can be used before blow-drying but should not be held near intense heat. A vented model such as Wet Brush Speed Dry is more appropriate for use with a dryer.

Use a moderate temperature, keep the dryer moving and apply thermal protection to the hair.

How to use a Wet Brush

1. Divide thick or severely tangled hair into sections.
2. Always begin at the ends.
3. Hold the section above the knot to limit tension.
4. Detangle progressively, a few inches at a time.
5. Move toward the roots only after the ends are detangled.
6. Add a detangling product if the brush encounters excessive resistance.
7. Clean the brush regularly.

How to clean a Wet Brush

1. Remove hair caught between the bristles with your fingers or a small comb.
2. Gently clean the surface with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap.
3. Avoid soaking the brush for an extended period.
4. Rinse briefly when appropriate for the model.
5. Place the brush with the bristles facing downward and allow it to dry completely.

Cleaning methods can vary according to the model’s materials and features. Review the manufacturer’s instructions before completely immersing a brush.

When should a Wet Brush be replaced?

Replace the brush when several bristles are bent, broken or missing, when their tips become rough or when the base develops cracks. A damaged brush may catch the hair instead of gently detangling it.

Frequently asked questions about Wet Brush

Can Wet Brush be used on dry hair?

Yes. The Original Detangler and several other models can be used on wet or dry hair. Brushing dry curly hair may change curl definition and increase volume.

Does Wet Brush reduce breakage?

IntelliFlex bristles are designed to flex when encountering a knot and reduce pulling. Wet Brush reports up to 55% less breakage compared with a tested competitor. Actual results depend on hair condition and brushing technique.

Is Wet Brush suitable for thick hair?

Yes. Divide thick hair into sections so the bristles can travel through the entire density. A standard-size or larger-surface brush will generally be more effective than a Mini Detangler.

A Wet Brush may be used carefully on certain extensions, but avoid pulling directly on attachment points, adhesive tabs or keratin bonds. Follow the maintenance directions provided by your extension specialist.
