Kids and tangled hair
Anybody try any of the "special" brushes like the wet brush or knot genie to help with tangled hair?
Dd is determined to grow her hair out like Rapunzel, ha! So the issue keeps getting worse. She has very fine hair and it gets so tangled! Then she is so upset when I brush. I've tried using sprays which work ok but she actually isn't a big fan of spraying either.
So I was looking at some of special brushes and wondering if they really help any. Or any other advice?

after she started reciting the Michelle Mercier detangler brush infomercial to me and a friend suggested the goody one. She also has fine hair that tangles easy especilly once it is past her shoulders. I prefer keeping her hair in a bob, but she likes it a little longer. SO I try to get her to use real conditioner in the bath, which helps, and spray when she brushes her hair. This brush allows her to do it herself and to do a good job of it. I was surprised at how much more she tolerates it over other brushes with her tangles. So it works for us.
We've had the best luck with the sprays and with teaching her to brush her own hair. She doesn't do an amazing job, but she at least gets some of the tangles out so there is less for me to do.

my hairdresser suggested a wet brush & I got one for the girls (amazon < $10) and it worked really well. And its not just for wet hair which one might think
I got another one though not specifically marked as a wet brush at walgreens a few weeks back and it works just as well.
We usually don't need to use detangler spray anymore

If brushing hurts, I can't imagine having someone climb up your hair will feel good...I often thought this about Rapunzel.

I keep trying to convince her to cut it some. It looked so much better when it was like shoulder length. Every time she complains about being brushed I remind her we could cut it. Nope!
Even Rapunzel cut her hair! You think that would help!!!
It drives me so nuts too because she goes through phases of not wanting anything in her hair. So it's constantly just hanging in her face. Then it gets all in her food, etc!
We have a wet brush, and it works well on DD's long, curly hair.
We have this one: http://www.amazon.com/My-Wet-Brush-Classic-Pink/dp/B005WWQXB6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1387301828&sr=8-3&keywords=wet+brush
