Review // Dessata Professional Detangling Brush!
By Chaste & Beautiful - Tuesday, May 10, 2016
Hiya,
As promised, I’m here with the post on Dessata Detangling Brush and I mentioned in my earlier post how I had been after this for a long time. So, naturally my enthusiasm knew no bounds when I was able to get it in my possession finally. Before buying it, I had also watched Saadiah Khawaja’s video on this detangler that had clearly created an excitement in me. Before heading further with the review, if you haven’t watched Saadiah’s video, let me tell you that she reviewed the special edition of this detangler, whereas mine is the same company’s regular one.
Purchase and Pricing
I
bought Dessata Professional Detangling Brush from Al-Fatah for PKR 980. The
packaging is a simple plastic transparent covering, nothing fancy. The
detangling brush inside comes in various colors and is of quite cheap quality.
If you knock on the top of the detangler, it gives a hollow sound, which
clearly shows the cheap plastic it is made with. I bought the red one with
both, black small and long bristles.
Company Claims
My Thoughts
This
time, I’m going to bust the company claims one by one and see if there’s any
claim it lives up to.
1. Detangles with Ease
No,
it didn’t detangle my hair with ease and neither my mom’s hair. We both have
thick long hair, rather mine is medium length and it certainly didn’t work in
my hair with ease.
2. No Pulling
Again,
this proved to be wrong as there was tugging and pulling while brushing dry
hair, and I can well imagine what it’ll do to wet hair.
3. No Breakage
Well,
here I do not feel the need to say anything as the picture will show you the
evidence.
4. No Static
Not
any static but then generally, static is more common in winter months. So,
can’t put to test it as yet.
5. Soft and Shiny Finish
Yes,
it does maintain the soft and shiny finish and you can check it through the
pictures. It preserves the original waves and curls of the hair and the
finishing effect is surprisingly better than the ordinary brush. However, I
can’t compromise on hair pulling and breakage just to get the shiny finish.
Perhaps, a bigger sized detangler can solve the problem of hair breakage.
6. Great for Kids & All Types of
Hair
Yes,
it is great for kids, men, boys, and females with short fine hair, but not for
women with thick long hair.
7. 440 Flexible Bristles
This
means it has nylon flexible bristles, but my detangler’s bristles have bent to
an extent of being de-shaped now.
8. Ergonomic Design
Ergonomic
design signifies that the design is much optimized for human well-being and
after my experiences; I for sure do not endorse this claim.
9. Without Handle
This
is quite inconvenient because it slips out of the hand, even my brother
exclaimed that one needs patience while using it. I would prefer a handle
certainly or the company should design it with a non-slippery grip.
10. Adapts to Head Curvature
This is true, it does adapt to the curvature of head but the bristles are so bendable and small that it doesn’t work satisfactorily in thick and long hair. My mom said she couldn’t even feel the bristles in the thicker areas of hair.
The Final Verdict
Recommendation
Only
to those who are still kids, or people with fine, short hair, specifically good
for males.

This is so bad that it didn't live up to the claims. Very detailed honest review. Great.
ReplyDeleteYeah, sad it didn't work for me. Thanks for stopping by sweets. :)
DeleteAyesha, I am in SHOCK! I swear my video was TOTALLY HONEST N NOT AT ALL SPONSORED!!! Yes my edition is the "Special Edition " if u see my latest you tube video I just put up this morning you will see that I'm not lying, but neither are you! In fact this is the first time I've read a review of yours that reflects so much disappointment n going by what you say, rightly so :( but there is another review on their page regarding this brush by Fakhra I guess. Do ask her n then do talk to the company. I feel kind of guilty but you are more than welcome to try my sample. I feel bad n that's an understatement :(
ReplyDeleteYes, I know your video was 100% genuine and it was very lovely, honestly. I am not targeting or aiming for anybody who's experience went better than mine. I am just trying to relate my readers with my detangler story. Yes, I am disappointed but then things like these happen and you don't have to feel guilty for anything. If something works for you or anyone else, then I couldn't be happier. I would love to try your sample someday but I think I have learned my lesson that detanglers like Dessata, tangler teezer or tangle angel will never work for me, I'll have to stick to my trusty paddle hair brushes. Cheer up and your video was awesome, there is no denying that. Love you and thanks for the geniality you've shown towards me. I heart you. :) :D
DeleteThanks for sharing the differences b/w this one original one.Nice post!!
ReplyDeleteNo problem! Thanks for stopping by lovely. :)
DeleteToo bad, the brush didn't work well for you. Thanks for the detailed review :)
ReplyDeleteYes, sadly this didn't work and thank you so much for stopping by Huda. :)
DeleteTBH I never found these brushes to be very effective even the tangle teaser. I agree on point that these works only for very short and fine hair. If you are looking for good hair brush, I will suggest to get one with wooden teeth. And always brush your hair in sections starting from the ends and then go upwards. That is much easier.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I am a bit disheartened to learn that Tangle Teezer is the same thingy. Yes, a proper hair brush works brilliantly and I will definitely look out for one with wooden teeth. Thanks for your suggestion. :)
DeleteIt is really sad to know that this brush is total waste of money. I mean if it cannot manage the hair like yours what is worth for then, thin hairs can be manged with small comb as well. I really appreciate your honest review.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right on point and thank you so much for stopping by. :)
DeleteGreat review, it seems like a really great product! :)xoxo

Sweety, if you read carefully, you'll find that this is not a great product. Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteIt feels so bad that it didn't work for you....
ReplyDeleteGlamorous without the Guilt
Yeah, I feel bad too. Thank you so much for stopping by. :)
DeleteI have 2 of these. One small travel size by Dessata and the bigger one by Rivaaj. Honestly I love them, reason being they comb my hair without unnecessary breakage and they do detangle my hair coz my hair are mostly straight with little or less wave. I would say that every product is not for everyone. With your hair type I would recommend the wooden sparse comb or the steel one.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are so right, every product cannot fulfill each individual's needs and that's what I have been mentioning in my post too. Combs never work for me and paddle brushes are the best ones to keep my hair in tiptop shape. On the Dessata detangler,they should have mentioned detanglers do not work for thick, long and very curly hair, instead they started spreading that it works for all hair types which is misguiding, so I had to beat it for the sake of my readers. Moreover, I highly doubt if this detangler will work for African hair. This implies that at least half of the females can't even think of using it. Thank you so much for stopping by. :)
DeleteThanks for the honestly honest review.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you liked this review. Thank you for stopping by. :)

DeleteBummer that it did not live up to your expectations :( Are you able to return it? It looks very similar to the tangle teezer which I'm a big fan of. Maybe the Balmain brush will be better :)
ReplyDeleteMili | Sharmtoaster
Nope, sadly I am not able to return it because the returning period is gone. Yes, I think Balmain brush will come handy. Thanks for stopping by. :)

DeleteI have the tangle teezer and I absolutely love it. It is totally worth the money you spend and considering it will last you ages it is a great investment.
ReplyDeleteIt's great if the tangle teezer works for you. Thanks for stopping by. :)

ReplyDeleteYeah, sadly it didn't. Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteI use the original Tangle Teezer and enjoy it, but my hair is fine, not thick. All dupes I have tested so far didnt work as good as the original though.

Hmm, I'll try the original one if I got my hands on it. Thanks for stopping by. :)

DeleteLoved the review! Too bag it didn't work for you
ReplyDeleteDora www.bangsbang.com
Yup, sadly it didn't work. I am glad you liked the review. Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteThank you for an honest review and I hate it when a product don't work out, it's such a waste of money. Maybe invest in Tangle Teezer? I know it gets really great reviews.
ReplyDeleteShireen | Reflection of Sanity
Yeah, I hate it too when the product turns out to be bad. I'll try to get the Tangle Teezer as many people have suggested it to me. Thanks for stopping by lovely. :)
DeleteBad that this didn't work for you. The original tangle teezer works well for my fine hair.
ReplyDeleteI'll try the Tangle Teezer someday. Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteThat was shocking honestly. How could the other bloggers praise it so much if it can't handle thick and long hair? Thank God, I haven't bought it yet, and I did have apprehensions when I saw its bristles in Al-Fatah but kept on believing their claims. The videos I've watched showing the bloggers easily untangling their hair were very good and at that time it didn't even occur to me that they have fine and short hair. I love your honest review. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you found my review helpful. Yes, sadly it didn't work for me and it seems only good for fine, short hair. Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteGlad to see honest review. A good blogger should have to speak the truth to their followers �� to save them from spending money on expensive products

ReplyDeleteA wide tooth comb does the job for me. I don't feel tempted to use such brushes, I don't know why.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.ThatGrlInHighHeels.com
Nah, combs doesn't work on me and thanks for stopping by sweets. :)
DeleteThe product is very good and excellent.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very ordinary but very great.
find this
Nope, It didn't prove to be good for me!
DeleteMy hair is too long... Its very tough to me to comb my hair easily.
