Smooth and shiny strands is a recipe for a confident hair day and while hot tools can help you achieve salon-worthy hairstyles, without a detangling brush you can end up with frizzy, knotted hair. TikTokers have been claiming the UNbrush as the ultimate brush for detangling hair, but now Amazon shoppers are claiming a $9 hairbrush is the true defender against painful “yanking.”

The Original Wet Brush has gathered more than 55,000 verified five-star reviews from the online retailer and even some love on TikTok with influencers showing off how the brush seamlessly glides through hair. User @katie.org even compared the cheap hairbrush to the luxe $150 Mason Pearson hairbrush, which has gathered more than 3 million views.

“I do not see a difference,” the caption for the video reads.

While the UNbrush has received consistent praise on social media, its reviews are not up to par with the OG Wet Brush, which has scored a 4.7-star rating out of five compared to its competitor’s 4.5 stars. Not to mention it’s also more affordable at $9 making it one of the best beauty deals available right now.

Featuring 19 colors and patterns to choose from (including an Amazon-exclusive Aqua), the Wet Brush is ready to help smooth knotted strands with its flexible bristles. ShopBillboard has even tested the hairbrush and love how lightweight and comfortable the hair tool is to hold. Its unique bristles allows for the brush to move through hair more easily with less snags, creating a pain-free experience.


Since the brush is so lightweight and compact, it’s also easy to pack away in your luggage making it a travel necessity for keeping your hair smooth during your adventures.

Reviewers have also gushed over how the detangling brush has “revolutionized” their hair care routine describing the experience as “love at first brush.” It’s also curly hair-approved, with one shopper saying “This brush gets through it with ease. I’m also super tender-headed and it doesn’t hurt when I brush. I even bring it with me to the salon and request my stylist use it for detangling.”
