the knot genie :: pain-free hairbrushes and the perfect “magic” hair band

My poor daughter has a horribly sensitive scalp. While I love nothing more than having my hair brushed, she can’t handle it. Her hair tangles so easily and getting those tangles tamed has proved extremely challenging. Brushing it when dry is awful, but brushing it when it’s wet is even worse. To say The Knot Genie has taken the pain out of hairbrushing is an understatement. She even lets her dad brush her hair now (and this was never even an option before).

The Knot Genie is a specially designed brush with flexible teeth of varying lengths. The bristles are made to bend just enough to untangle the hair without any stress. That lack of stress keeps the hair cuticle protected from damage, keeping your hair shiny and smooth.

Not only has the The Knot Genie made easier hair brushing at our house, but The Magic Hair Band has resurrected the ponytail.  I can never get a hair band tight enough on my daughter’s hair without forcing it through a ponytail holder another time. If I can get it through three times, it will stay in, but result in some breakage (of the hair and, sometimes, the ponytail holder itself). If I’m only able to get it through twice, it will inevitably fall out. The Magic Hair Band is made to adjust easily to any size ponytail. I love how easy it is to put in. I just put the hair in, pull it tight and I’m done. There is no twisting the hair through the band over and over. It’s faster than traditional ponytail holders and stays put.

The Magic Hair Band is made with a toggle systems so you can just pinch the toggle button to adjust the spring lock on the band.  Plus The Magic Hair Band has a metal toggle and two beads that add just a bit of bling to a boring ponytail.  The beads come in different colors and shapes and even (my favorite) soccer balls!
