The Tangle Teezer for Fine Hair has more flexible bristles and is generally gentler on sensitive scalps. The Tangle Teezer Fine and Fragile is 30% softer than other Tangle Teezer brushes. It's designed for damaged, color-treated hair, and those with sensitive scalps, so it's also great for children or teens with curly hair.

The Tangle Teezer Thick and Curly is really great for thick curly hair and afro curls. The bristles on these brushes are flexible but much stiffer than other brushes, with longer teeth that help free hair from tangles and smaller teeth to smooth out curls. While this is a great brush, it can take some getting used to, as it doesn't have a handle and can slip out of your hands, especially if you have product in your hair.
