OMG!! Ouidad Double Detangler Comb...MAJOR PRODUCT RAVE!!!

[Lucky's Mom]

Yes, but whether it's a $100 steamer, $200 hair dryer or a $24 comb, all those items are designed for the same purpose: TO KEEP YOUR HAIR HEALTHY AND ON YOUR HEAD.

OK! Good luck With y'all's 30 dollar comb! Like the Iphone - and all the other stuff out there - the price will go down

The Good news for me is that with optimal conditioning - I have not had too many snarls and super tangles.....

 

[JustKiya]

It does look enticing . I'm a sucker for hair tools but I'll have to pass on this one. I understand the concept of the double rows. It may detangle well but will it snag your hair if seams are on the teeth?

I'm still sold on having seamless teeth on my combs. My Magic Star Jumbo Rake has been a life saver since I learned about it here in 2004.

I am sure that there will be plenty of knock offs out there for a much cheaper price if it becomes a favorite on the hair boards. Is it seamless?

Yes, it is seamless?!? I spent more on my MP combs, so the price isn't giving me any issues, but I refuse to use any comb in my hair that isn't seamfree......

JustKiya, in truth, the comb has seams. However, I didn't experience any snaps because of them. I think that unless you go to the caliber of MP, you'll have seams. That's what makes MP stand apart. However, the plus points for this comb are the design, and surprisingly, the weight. The weight helps you get in deep and the double teeth help to gently detangle.

Agreed. Bone combs are totally worth it to me....

*sigh* thanks......

I hear you, I do. I've been using my MP's for *thinks* almost two years now, I I haven't seen ANY mid-strand splits for at least the last 12 months - and I was plagued by them before - I would have one strand of hair with three or four splits on it, easy.
I'd love to try it, but I'm not willing to take the risk of a setback for it.
Ah, well.........

I hear you girl. You have to do what's best for YOUR hair. I've been following your progress and it's amazing. I too would hate for you to have a set back. If I could afford a MP comb, believe me, I'd get it. But...they're like $100 a pop, right?

Thank you!!! I really haven't done anything 'new' with my hair in a while because what I'm doing really seems to be working.

No, not quite THAT bad. I got mine off of eBay - I got three (the jumbo rake, the medium comb and the rattail) and I think it was about 85 bucks, total?
Now, if you are talking about the brushes, I think they start at like 60 bucks, or something.

 

[Vshanell]

This reminds me of my denman comb but with wider and bigger teeth. I like the denman comb a lot but it has small teeth and it's not a wide-tooth comb, it also has 3 rows of teeth.

What does MP stand for?

What does MP stand for?

Mason Pearson - a comb manufacturer.

I doubt that it is seamless. But please correct me if I'm wrong.

Edited: Just read that it is seamless from post above.

 

[simplyhair]

I totally agree. My Jumbo Rake has been very good to me with just one row of very long teeth. I mean, it literally glides thru my tangles.

Funny, everyone has their own loyalty stamp with a brand. Mine is with Hercules Sagemann.

 

[DirtyJerzeyGirly]

Okay, here's my update. My verdict: Good buy.

I co-washed today with a light conditioner and combed through with it...yes it's bulky, but I think it's on purpose to help get through the "kitchen" of your hair. The teeth are formed as such as not to snag the hair, and as a result, I had very little shedding and breakage, and I usually have more using other items, included, and especially, using the Denman brush.

Going off now to donate all my other detangling items to charity!!....

That's the same thing I said about my combs, too. Girl I'm done with my combs!

I agree about the teeth thing, too. I forgot all about my Denman. It's to the point that I actually enjoy detangling my hair and can't wait for wash day!

Wonders..where i can purchase a seamless comb in a store????

 

[dlove]

I'm seriously thinking about buying this comb, but I have mostly condensend shrunken
4b natural hair. I'm kind of nervous about trying it without generating a bunch of shed hair.

Do you think I should finger comb first, plait in sections then use this comb?

 

[jeniece]

My comb came! So far I can say that it's not even heavy...at least not to me. I'm using it this weekend so I will be back

Sally's has them. The Jilbere shower comb is seamless.

Whatever works best for you! You may want to finger comb and section it.

 

[empressri]

I was able to get this through my hair today without sectioning it, and that was while bent over the bathtub without the water running over it. So it's not bad at all. BUT....this seems like it should only be used while conditioning and NOT styling else you risk pouf.

I definitely agree. This is not a styling comb. This is a detangling comb to be used whilst combing through conditioner. I wouldn't use it on my dry hair.

I'm going to re-post this in a thread becuase I also want to do a review on the 3 different Wen Cleansing Conditioners that i've used so far.

I finally got my Ouidad in the mail yesterday. And even though I just washed my hair the day before along with my Sweet Almond Mint Wen Cleansing Conditioner. I had to try it out and ended up washing my hair again last night I'm currently 14 weeks post texlax so I have good amount of new growth. Although since I just detangled the day before I knew it would be easier so there was a slight unfair advantage.

I typically don't detangle with a ton of conditioner in my hair normally becuase I tend ot loose more hair that way...not sure why. So I washed then added 2 pumps of wen as a leave in, coconut oil and my One & Only Argan oil for slip.

Here's my pros and cons:

PRO:
-The weight helps to detangle the hair
-It did cut out a portion of the detangle time a little
-The double row helped to detangle from the bottom and then detangle from the top as well.
-It's gets those little tangles out really really well.
-Lost 10 hairs all together. *again I had washed and detangled the night before*

CON:
-After a while the constant lifting of the comb became a strain on my wrist. I probably should have detangled in sections, but I wanted to really put this comb to the test. So I did my entire head at once.
- It was harder for me to get through the larger tangles in my hair. So I used my Jilbere shower comb and gently worked them out. Not that it was better but just the constant lifting of the Ouidad was tiring out my wrist.
-There were a few ouch moments. I noticed it pulls my hair harder than the Jilbere. When working the shower comb through I get more a smoother detangling action even thought it takes longer. The Ouidad doesn't feel as smooth so there were moments I could feel a tug.

Overall:

I give it a B only becuase I didn't loose as many hairs as I normally do with the Jilbere. Even when my hair was recently detangled I would have still lost a good amount of hair. Not sure why since the Jilbere has a smoother feel when detangling than the Ouidad. I will definitely continue to use it, I just know that I have to take my hair in sections and strengthen up my wrist LOL. It does get heavy. It doesn't feel like it at first but after a while my wrist could tell the difference in weight. I'll post again once I try to detangle after a few days. That's when it will truly be put to the test.

 

[simplyhair]

If weight is an issue when using this comb, please be careful to avoid wrist injury...especially those who may already suffer with carpul tunnel.

 

[biancaelyse]

That's a lot of comb - size and price.

I've been using Jilbere for years with no issues but I'm glad that those who've bought it seem to like it.

I also have my brother's cake cutter pic from the 70's in my stash. I love that thing!!

 

[Serenity_Peace]

Can't believe how fast I received the comb from Sephora. I ordered on Tuesday and it was sitting on my doorstep when I got home last night (Thursday). I'm going to try the comb for wash day on Sunday.

 

[AfroKink]

And reviews from 4b ladies and/or ladies with fine hair strands? I'm worried that the weight of the comb will cause my strands to snap instead of untangling...

Tianaveen is 4b I believe, and she uses the comb and likes it.

I'm 4a with fine strands...works good for me!

 

[kriolagirl]

Mine is on it's way. You guys have me so excited to try it!

 

[Shay72]

I think I may give this a try. If I do I would order mine from Sephora.

Your review is an accurate account of my experience as well. I gave the comb a way to my friend who has long hair and loves how it caresses her scalp.

I like my regular seamless wet comb that I've had for years. Yes, the Ouidad takes about 5 to 10 minutes off my time, but it's too cumbersome to be bothered with all the time.

Just put the comb in my Sephora basket online...about to hit "checkout"...I'm excited! Thanks, OP!
