WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU BUY!! EZ DETANGLER BRUSH vs FELICIA LEATHERWOOD BRUSH!!! | THE CURLY CLOSET

[@Loveamandapatrice]

Emphasis on CLAIMS to be black owned because I can’t find ANY information on the founder/owner and they deleted my comment when I inquired about it. MOST black owned businesses (ESPECIALLY in the realm of hair) are super duper proud to show that they are black owned. Seems very suspect.

[@MiVidaBellisima]

I agree, the Chinese companies lie with alot of their marketing claims. I don’t think they have the same false advertising laws that we do.

[@FEEDMYADDICTION1]

Thank you!!! I was thinking the same thing to, i have no problem in the past getting stuff from china but the fact that they are lying that they are black owned and how they are treating black people in china right now is a mess i wish i looked them up more before buying the brush. I do like the brush but i'm sick of company's getting the black dollar and not respecting us as humans.

[@judethaddeus9856]

Why not just purchase from companies that have quality products and good prices? Who cares what the colour of the skin of the owners and employees is?

[@Loveamandapatrice]

@@judethaddeus9856 we literally do this every single day with every day items and food as a normal practice. So, what are you talking about? If a company is claiming to be black owned to gain black dollars and they’re not, that’s unethical and is taking money away black businesses(which aren’t as prevalent in everyday items and food that we blindly purchase without second thought EVERY SINGLE DAY). Also, no one is stopping you from buying from whoever you want to.

[@11kwright]

@@judethaddeus9856 In an ideal world that would work but we don't live in an ideal world. Black businesses need black people to support them as well as white people. Black owned businesses because they are black owned some racist people will go out of their way to avoid their business even if the product they have benefits them or is a general product for society as a whole. Black businesses shouldn't have to even be advertised as a black owned business or even worry when going into business but there are people that will try to sabotage it by avoiding it and therefore black businesses worry about making enough money for it to be sustainable but still brave enough to go for it. White people don't have these worries or real problems. Is why the gorgeous Ellen DeGeneres makes it a big thing to promote black businesses because she is "woke"!! You can't ignorantly just go through life and flippantly say "why not just buy from any business irrespective of colour" without perhaps trying to understand why is it this way. White businesses are the mainstream and have and will always have a multiracial customer base cos people don't purposely avoid shopping cos 99% of business are white. Now black entrepreneurs have many great ideas and the shopping experience should be the same for them - don't you agree? It's because the world we live in are with monsters happily living their in lives in denial and entitledness thinking the world belongs to them. They are happy for black businesses making their businesses sustainable but not happy to reciprocate for black business and want failure them. When they experience hardship, austerity, problems they will shout loud about it and go to church thinking they are a good citizen and expect empathy from others but when black businesses experience the same problems as them, austerity and lack of sustainability due to lack of customers and they've contributed also, well they feel no empathy whatsoever - monsters living happily in denial. UNDERSTAND cos ignorance is no excuse but part of the problem - white or black!!

➰ I prefer my Felicia Leatherwood brush. For some reason, brushes with very flexible bristles don’t work as well for my hair.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

That's why it's so great to have choices! :D Thanks for sharing! x

[@yumyumkitty2104]

I would have to slather on a slippery conditioner b4 detangling. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

I would do normally, however: 1) I am using up my old products that need to go! 2) It worked out better for really testing the brushes and how well they work, not just making the job really easy for them.

[@yumyumkitty2104]

The Curly Closet Understandable. 👍🏾

[@a.bartlett9898]

My goal is to try to buy as many products as I can from Black owned companies. I have the Felicia Leatherwood brush and I love it. I bought one for my mom and friends and they love it too.

That's great! I aspire to do the same! (Although sometimes I don't do so since I have to do reviews etc)

[@dotslife9310]

I would be intrigued to see what would happen if you ran the EZ through the FL side and the FL through the EZ side after the main detangling process.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

That's a very interesting suggestion! 🤔

Hi Mary! I have the EZ detangler brush. I love it! It really cut down on my detangling time in half. I've never tried the FL brush but I truly love the EZ brush. Your results on EZ brush is exactly like mine. At first I thought I was losing plenty of hair but it is only shedding hair. Great video! ➿

I have the FL and love it compared to a denman brush it’s better for me. I detangle my hair the reverse method with the brush vertically first then horizontal.

[@chinicacapricien578]

So basically they revamped an old idea or brush for naturals and tripled the price. At least the FL brush did update it a little bit.

Lol. I just ordered a FL 😅

[@Sharon-df7hf]

I think because the Felicia brush is sturdy why it didn’t pull as much shedding hair when the ez you may should have put the clip on it to be sturdy

You have a point, that may be true. :-)

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Have you tried the EZ Detangler Brush or the Felicia Leatherwood brush - or both? Which one do you prefer?

[@airylibra24]

I have tried the EZ detangler brush 4 years ago on my thick, coarse, and coily 4c hair. When my hair got back healthy the brush started taking out chunks of my hair when it’s dry or wet. I am thinking about trying the Felicia Leatherwood brush to see if it will work on my hair.

[@royalhighforeva6968]

omg I was literally *crying. I added water to my hair but it still hurt and wasn't easy to go through. Now I brush it in the shower and it works. (Ez brush) My hair is frizzy,thick, and curly.

[@kapparhotau181]

Yea I need some slippery water/aloe vera and oil to detangle my hair

[@SPrincessbeneficialknowledge]

FL brush is amazing. Can't believe how smooth it all went. My 1st ever time of using it.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Great to hear!

[@jojo1234a]

I’m here because I’m looking around for others opinions of the brush as I got mine yesterday, i didn’t get on very well with it but likely because my hair is so long and damaged from years of hair dye. But I just need to tell you how much I adore your hair! Gorgeous! I have Caucasian hair but oh my, I get such natural hair jealousy lol! I imagine it’s harder to maintain but the finished natural look is second to none 😍 I wash my hair once a fortnight because my hair seems happier that way (I used to wash it everyday years ago, transitioning to less washes was a little greasy and awkward for a short while but it’s settled really well to the frequency now). I get root tangles a little, I never considered finger detangling first, my hair isn’t 4 type but I’m inspired to give that a try. Thanks for the tips and the awesome video, keep rocking that gorgeous hair girl!

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thanks for the compliments - I don't find it harder to maintain really, I just count haircare as an essential part of my self-care routine. :-)

[@jojo1234a]

The Curly Closet that’s a really great outlook actually... like, all I hear people saying about natural hair is how difficult it is etc etc, and I truly wouldn’t know as I’ve never styled natural hair, but I love the way that you are just like “it’s just part of my routine, no biggie”. This brush doesn’t like my hair, however it works great on my 8 year old daughters hair, she has long but fine hair ..... weird huh. Thanks again xx

[@keahharrison4765]

Idk I’m kinda torn when it comes to this video. The EZ brush seemed like it glided through your hair better than the FL brush. Now you did get more shedding with the EZ but not excessive so that could be for other reasons such as lifestyle etc. but based off of THIS video I’d have to go with the EZ brush.

[@jesusislord5543]

Yeah me too, I thought I was the only one who noticed that.

[@Icyjessy1]

Does your ez have the 'PAT' at the back too? I have a theory that they all come from China? My 3$ aliexpress one does

I own the Felicia Leatherwood brush. It works very well on my 4 b/c hair. Support a Sistah!!!

[@ClaudiaFashionFG]

I have an EZ Detangler bought from their US site (green and a blue) and it is very flexible and I have an old school thick & Curly TangleTeazer (red) also flexible. I like them both but use does depend on what I use as slip in my hair. The new TT are not as flexible and smooth in the teeth so cause splits and breakage. I’m happy to support products that work and if EZ isn’t black owned, which I thought they were from their newsletters, it hasn’t put me off them. TT is is owned and created by a white English bloke. 😁

[@necabibi3558]

Everyone seems to have an easier time with the EZ brush including you. Which is annoying and disappointing coz they really did rip off the felicia leatherwood brush. But it is what it is. 🤷🏾

[@moniquemorris5833]

It's ok. The felicia leatherwood brush is actually based off the tangle wrangler and she used to sell simple tangle wrangler brush and rename it. Then it got super popular so she modified it and jacked up the price. So....its all good. Everybody gets their coin.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Hi Neca, I talked about the designs etc in my previous video on the EZ detangler brush, neither of the designs are new and they are actually quite different from each other - check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqvIpoBsjthqb6M

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Hi Monique, I've never heard this before! I'll go and research it some more.

The EZ brush is the enhanced version of Felicia's brush. It fits more hairstyles with its flexibility and bristle control.

[@Uriel2190]

What's your favorite leave in conditioner? My daughter has my curly hair, as beautiful as it is it needs maintenance.

[@KLB1218]

I think you felt resistance on both sides cause there wasn’t enough slip in the product you used. Great review though!

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Yes I did that on purpose because I have two separate videos on each brush where I used a product with a lot more slip with each one. I know what they both can do with a lot of slip, but what can they do with less slip? I needed to create more of a challenge to see how they both perform. Otherwise they will both easily slip through the hair and there is no difference in performance and therefore no comparison to be made.

😳 WOW 🤔 Now I really feel that if you would have use the green brush attachment bar that goes on the back of it.That it would have done even better for you .And got the job done with even pulling out as much hair as it did in this video.Wow because it would have been more stable brushing through your hair without struggling as much as it was in pulling on your hair😉👍!

[@kaydee8095]

Thank you for your review, what are the difference in cost between the two. That can make a difference for me as money is tight right now.

[@Serenityblu23]

Which one was less painful.

[@glampedlife]

The EZ Detangler brush has instructions, I have watched so many Utubers incorrectly use this brush. Vertical then horizontal, use the small piece that comes in the packet...the handle has small holes for this piece depending on the thickness of your hair. There are a few people who have used correct, Utube research. Hope this helps

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

You assume that I didn't read the instructions - I did. The website states that vertical is for getting the toughest knots out, horizontal is for easy detangling. My hair is usually more tangled at the roots, hence why I used it horizontally for the main part of my hair, and vertically in the roots. That's what works for me. There is no point using a brush in a specific way if that way doesn't work for you or your hair - your hair's health is more important than a set of instructions. Also, the additional piece is OPTIONAL. There is no rule that says you have to use it. That is why it can be detached from the brush entirely. Furthermore - the purpose of a review is to try a product out in different ways for the benefit of the viewer. There is nothing wrong with trying something out in a different way. There is no "one correct way" to brush hair, as long as you are not causing breakage to your hair then you're fine. So, would you mind not policing the way I or others use a brush please? Thanks.

[@chicaonthego]

Also, I believe the EZ brush has her logo on the handle. This doesn't... I'm not sure that's actually an EZ brush. instagram.com/ezdetanglerbrush/

Most low porosity 4c-e hair should use a more substantial conditioner with lots of slip.

[@tyradawkins1630]

Hi. Find the WIDEST TOOTH comb you can. I use OGX Combing Cream (it smells divine) or Cantu detangler for Kids. The OXG seems to better absorb in my hair and not coat, feel as sticky, or flake. If I am extra dry/tangled...I warm up a little oil....rub it into hair and scalp...put a shower cap or plastic bag on for a half hour or more and then wash....it really helps and much less pain.

[@cdnnykr]

@CashaCay What's the name of this brush you bought from Walmart? I'd like to try it.

[@25KendraW]

It appears you used slightly smaller sections for the FL brush...also, the EZ Detangler brush isn’t used correctly. I know you said you found it easier for you, but you’re not using as it should be and that probably explains the shedding. But, you’ve got nice, thick hair!

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

I read the instructions thoroughly and in the end, I did use it exactly as the instructions say to use it - please check their website for full instructions. I also tried it out multiple ways for review purposes - trying a product only one way doesn't make for a through review and doesn't help to inform the viewers well. I didn't try it out as many ways for the FL brush as I'd already done so in a previous review.

[@signin4477]

So then go back over that section again with the Felicia brush and see if it still have hair in the Felicia brush. The ez took out more but maybe that means that’s all that needs to come out as opposed to the other side, u May still have shed hair

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

You may be right 😊 This was more of a raw first impression though but thanks for the feedback, it's useful for future reference

[@j0naeee251]

You did the method backwards because in the other video you went vertical then horizontal but in this video you went horizontal then vertical that’s probably the reason why you have more shedding

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

In the first video, I tried it both ways to do a thorough review. I concluded that going horizontal, then vertical worked best for my hair - it was stated toward the end of the video. In future, that's the way I choose to use the brush. 🙂

[@mzmuhammad9861]

You bought the knock-off and not the actual branded product. As a result, it is unfair to use the name of a branded product that you have never used. Simply because they "look" alike does not mean they are the same. The EZ branded brush may not be as flexible as the knock-off you purchased. It could be a minor change, an unnoticeable change in the size of the bristles. These slight changes could make a world of difference. If you want to use the brand name, then use the brand product.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

They don't just look alike. They are identical. I looked *very* closely before I made my video - I wouldn't do all this if I didn't do my research first.

[@xobrittanyfiasco800]

Why do you keep calling this the EZ brush when it doesn’t say that anywhere on the brush???? You are bashing a company that you haven’t even purchased from. This is really wild to me that nobody has said anything to you about this. Especially. When EZ has an Instagram page that you can FACT CHECK. You have a KNOCK OFF BRUSH

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

When you have one trademarked product and then you have a cheap copy made by another company - that is a knockoff. When you have two identical products, neither one is a knockoff. One may be branded, one may not be. But they are 100% identical. Both come from China in the exact same packaging. If you don't believe me, watch the other EZ detangler brush reviews on KZbin, look at the packaging and the brushes. I did my research before I put this video out and I stand by what I said.

Hey hun, it's not a cheaper copy of the brush. It is the EXACT same brush with an added logo. (See the other comments below and also check out all of the other reviews on KZbin).
