The Fab Brush Named Best Hairbrush for Detangling by the Daily Mail

August 10, 2026

If you have ever watched a hairbrush pull out more hair than it detangles, you will understand why this news means so much to me. The Fab Brush has just been named Best Hair Brush for Detangling in the Daily Mail's independent hairbrush test, a full round-up of the market's leading brands.

The Daily Mail's beauty team spent weeks testing brushes from names like Tangle Teezer, Kent Brushes, Hershesons and Ziggy Hair. Out of every brush on test, The Fab Brush was the one chosen for detangling, and awarded a full five stars.

What the Daily Mail Loved About The Fab Brush

Kate Ng, the author and tester behind the review, has thick and wavy hair that tangles easily, and hair loss was a genuine concern for her too. That is exactly the kind of hair I designed this brush for.

She used The Fab Brush to detangle wet hair after shampooing and conditioning, before blow-drying, and noticed the difference straight away.

"The bristles are so soft and gentle, and the varying lengths easily get any knots and tangles out without pulling on the scalp at all, minimising breakage and hair fall. I find that I shed less hair using this brush." Source: Daily Mail hairbrush test

Why The Fab Brush Detangles Without the Damage

Every bristle on The Fab Brush is a different length. That is not a styling choice, it is the whole point. As the brush moves through your hair, the shorter bristles reach the roots while the longer ones glide through the ends, so knots get eased apart gradually instead of caught and yanked all at once. No snapping, no tugging, no unnecessary breakage.

Best used damp: The Fab Brush is at its most effective on wet or damp hair, straight after conditioner. For very thick hair, brushing while dry takes a little longer, so save it for the shower step whenever you can.
