Our Favorite Baby Care Essentials
This brush works on wet or dry hair, and the flexible bristles tame knots without tears.
Despite the fine, soft texture of my daughter’s hair, the first baby brush I bought for her barely smoothed the surface and did nothing to detangle the layers underneath. Instead, I found myself reaching for my adult-size Wet Brush to comb through her post-bath hair. Finally, I got smart and bought my then-1-year-old her own Wet Brush Mini Detangler, which was much easier to maneuver around her little head. Its tines are firm but flexible; they make quick work of tangles but somehow never tug or pull at delicate hair. The handle is also just the right size for small hands. Long before my daughter mastered brushing, she enjoyed waving this brush in the general vicinity of her head. This one comes in lots of fun colors, too, which helped us find it when the brush was accidentally buried in the toy bin.
