Detangling Brush Comparison: Tangle Teezer vs Lady Jayne

Lady Jayne Tangle Teezer comparison

I’ve been really enjoying the Tangle Teezer, a brush with soft bristles designed to minimise breakage. I’ve been using it to quickly but gently detangle my fragile bleached hair, with much less breakage than the wide-toothed comb I was using before.

I’ve put together this price comparison of different micellar waters available in Australia. Keep in mind that they contain different ingredients, and some might be more effective at removing makeup (i.e. you might need to use less), so the Price per mL should only be treated as a rough guide.
