    Promotional feature with Tangle Teezer

    From a limited edition hairbrush that detangles without damaging your tresses to a backcombing dream, getting the party hairstyle you want is now easier than ever…

    We can't quite believe ten years have passed since Tangle Teezer blessed us with a wince-free solution to detangling our hair. Now, the award-wining hairbrush brand we've come to rely on for all our hair needs has just released a limited edition Glitter Gem Compact Styler detangling hairbrush, £13.50, and it's got us feeling all festive.

    A little sparkle around Christmas and the New Year is an unwritten rule. But if sparkly dresses or the glitter strobing make-up trend that's blowing up on Instagram aren't your style, treating yourself to Tangle Teezer's Glitter Gem Compact Styler detangling hairbrush is the next best thing.

    This super-useful little dazzler fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, with two-tiered bristles that work wonders on knotted hair – whether it’s wet or dry. Gently compacting hair towards the roots with zero damage, it helps add natural-looking texture and volume that lasts.

    It also manages to tame frizz well and boosts shine, leaving hair expertly prepped to start styling. It even fits comfortably in a clutch.

    Cara Delevingne, Emma Watson and Victoria Beckham are all Tangle Teezer fans – and if that's not a sign of hairbrush hierarchy, we don't know what is.

    Looking for ways to add lasting volume to your signature hairstyle? Try Tangle Teezer's new Back-combing hairbrush, £10 – it's been a major talking point on our beauty desk this week and is flying off the shelves at tangleteezer.com, Boots and professional salons across the UK.

    Whether you want to tease volume at the crown or go all out and sculpt a beehive hairstyle, use it to back-comb from the root in a slow up-and-down motion to create lasting volume with zero damage. It's the latest addition to Tangle Teezer's three step range of detangling, blow-drying and styling hairbrushes.

    With a range of hairbrushes that work this well, all that's left to think about is what to wear to the office party.
