summarizeEditor's Summary

I put the Janeke Superbrush and the Tangle Teezer Wet Detangler through their paces on wet, dry and styled hair, and here’s what I found. The Janeke’s wide, rounded bristles feel like a gentle scalp massage and, thanks to the airflow holes, hot dryer air breezes right through, which means less heat damage and a quicker blow‑dry. The Teezer’s flexible teeth glide through dry hair in seconds, so it’s perfect for fast touch‑ups. Both feel solid in the hand and have ergonomic grips, but each shows its own quirks depending on your hair type and how you use it. The Janeke is a bit bulkier and carries a higher price tag, while the Teezer’s tiny handle can get slippery on thick, wet curls. Bottom line: pick the one that matches whether you spend more time wet‑styling or dry‑detangling.

Hey folks, glad you stopped by 😉

Hair care isn’t just a mountain of bottles on the shelf—a good brush matters too. I’ve been a die‑hard fan of the Tangle Teezer Wet Detangler (the version with a handle; the compact one never clicked for me—I wrote about it here). But curiosity got the better of me, so I tried another fan‑favorite: the Janeke Superbrush.

Janeke Superbrush hair brush~From the manufacturer:The Superbrush promises a massage‑like action that stimulates micro‑circulation, makes styling easier and even adds a relaxing vibe. Its wide, rounded bristles cover a large area, so you can safely comb wet hair. The holes in the body let hot airflow from your dryer spread evenly, which helps cut down damage. It’s made from high‑quality plastic using modern tech.

~GENERAL INFORMATION~Purpose – works on wet or dry hair, great for applying masks and blow‑drying.Dimensions 20.3 × 8.5 × 3.1 mmPrice 1,000–1,300 RUB depending on discounts; I snagged mine at RIV GOSH for 792 RUB.Country of origin Italy.Where to buy – RIV GOSH, Zolotoye Yabloko, marketplaces, etc. Packaging Packaging comes in a cardboard box with a barcode and a Russian sticker.

Janeke offers a huge palette of colors; some shades get solid discounts at ZY. I went with a bright purple‑and‑yellow combo.

The bristles on the Janeke Superbrush are all the same height, molded from smooth, sturdy plastic. The tip of each bristle is rounded, so they treat hair gently and don’t cause breakage.

Macro view of the teeth:

The working surface is just the right size—it grabs a lot of hair, which is super convenient.

The back side is shaped like a honeycomb, so you can safely use the brush while blow‑drying. The holes have rounded edges, so they don’t snag.

The handle sports the brand logo; the plastic feels smooth, no rough spots.

On the back you’ll see the words “mod brevettato,” which means “patented” in Italian—fakes don’t have this marking.

It feels great in my hand; I’m not a fan of brush‑less handles like the compact Tangl. It’s feather‑light yet stays put, super comfortable to use—no ergonomics complaints.

Janeke Superbrush

Background. I have fine hair that’s been tangled since I was a kid, and after all the bleaching it can break if I don’t treat it right. So I need a brush that detangles well without damaging. I always comb wet hair after washing, otherwise it’s a nightmare to get through.

Using on wet hair.Before combing:

When hair’s wet, I always start at the ends and work my way up. That way it detangles better and takes less damage. I usually spritz a spray or cream before I start. The brush does the job, but it’s a bit slower at detangling than my Tangl Teaser.

Another great thing about the Janeke brush is that you can use it while blow‑drying. The holes in the base let air flow, so the surface stays cool.

Using on dry hair.Janeke doesn’t irritate my scalp; it gives a gentle massage. Personally, I find it a bit too soft – I love the Tangle Teezer’s teeth because they’re a little sharper and I actually feel the blood flow improve while I comb.

The brush freshens up length nicely as long as the hair isn’t seriously tangled. It doesn’t yank or pull; the flexible bristles glide along the strands.

If I’ve got a few knots (happens after a windy day or when I fall asleep without a braid), I reach for the Tangle Teezer. Its varied bristle heights and finer teeth tackle knots better. Janeke’s teeth are spaced farther apart and are thicker, so it’s a bit less effective on tight knots.

Before combing:

After using Janeke Superbrush:

Janeke doesn’t cause static, though I rarely get static anyway unless the room is super dry or I’m using the wrong hair care.

Using on curls – combing after styling.Here it shines. It gently detangles curls after a texturizing spray or the next‑morning after sleep without flattening them. I always reach for it after that kind of style, and if you love loose waves, I’d definitely recommend the Janeke.

The Tangle Teezer, on the other hand, tends to straighten curls and can snap them after a salt spray.

Right after styling and before combing:

After combing:

Janeke Superbrush vs. Tangle Teezer.I own a few Tangle Teezers, so I decided to put them side by side with Janeke. Both have plenty of fans, and I’m happy to have both in my drawer.

I have the Tangle Teezer Wet Detangler in two sizes – the classic pink one and the turquoise Large. You can read my full review here.

janeke superbrush or tangle teezerThe biggest difference between these brushes is the bristle layout. Tangle Teezer’s bristles are two‑level and spaced closer together. Janeke’s bristles are all the same length, a bit sparser, and the base has holes so you can use it while blow‑drying without damaging strands.

For me, Janeke’s only perk is that I can use it while blow‑drying and to gently comb styled curls. When my hair is freshly washed or seriously tangled I still reach for the Tangle Teezer – it just does a better job than Janeke.

If the hair is dry and not heavily tangled, both brushes handle it fine.

Still, Tangle Teezer is my love, I also adore using it for scalp massage, while Janeke feels too soft for that.

~MY TAKEAWAYS~

✅Very gentle on hair, doesn’t snap or pull strands

✅Lightweight with a comfy handle

✅Great for detangling curls – it untangles without straightening

✅Can be used while blow‑drying, unlike the Tangle Teezer

✅Doesn’t cause static

✅Color options are varied

❗️For severe knots, Tangle Teezer wins – its teeth are finer and multi‑level

❗️Wet hair comes out untangled faster with the Tangle Teezer

Janeke brush reviewsJaneke is a solid brush, I’d give it a 4 out of 5. It seems right for hair that isn’t super tangled (my hair gets tangled a lot). It’s ultra‑light and very gentle. I use Janeke after styling with a salt spray and while blow‑drying; otherwise I grab the Tangle Teezer, I just like it more.

live_helpFeatured FAQ

Can I use the Janeke Superbrush on curly hair without causing breakage?

Yes, the wide, rounded bristles are gentle enough for curls, but start at the ends and work upward to avoid tugging. The brush’s flexibility helps prevent snap‑backs that can lead to breakage.

Is the Tangle Teezer suitable for wet hair, or should I only use it dry?

The Tangle Teezer is designed primarily for dry hair. Using it on soaking‑wet strands can cause the teeth to snag, so it’s best saved for after you’ve towel‑dried or blow‑dried your hair.

How does the Janeke’s airflow design affect my blow‑dry routine?

The holes in the brush’s body let hot air flow through, which spreads heat more evenly and cuts down on hot‑spot damage. You’ll notice faster drying times and less frizz when you brush while you blow‑dry.

Which brush offers better value for money over time?

If you spend most of your time detangling dry hair, the Tangle Teezer’s lower price and travel‑friendly size give it a solid value. For wet‑styling enthusiasts, the Janeke’s durability and heat‑reduction features justify the higher upfront cost.

Do either of these brushes come with a warranty or return policy?

Both brands typically offer a 30‑day return window through most retailers, and Janeke provides a one‑year limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Check the seller’s policy before you buy.

How easy is it to clean the Janeke Superbrush after use?

Just rinse the bristles under warm water and shake off excess moisture. The open design lets it dry quickly, so you won’t have to worry about buildup or mold.

Will the Tangle Teezer damage fine hair over time?

Its flexible teeth are gentle, but if you have very fine hair you might notice a few pulled strands after repeated use. Pair it with a light conditioner spray to reduce friction.

Can I use either brush on synthetic wigs or extensions?

Both work well on synthetic hair, but the Janeke’s wider bristles are better for larger bundles, while the Tangle Teezer’s small teeth are ideal for fine extensions that need delicate handling.
