Aqua Splash Tangle-Teezer...unique hair brushes.

I was lucky enough to be given one of these to trial. I already have the Feline compact version of the Tangle-Teezer, but the Aqua Splash is to be used around and in water.

I tried my Black Pearl Aqua Splash Tangle-Teezer out in the shower, using it to brush the conditioner through my hair. I found it works like a hot knife through butter, such a wonderful feeling and my hair was so smooth. I did find the handle a little awkward, when using with conditioner, but otherwise it was fine. I was surprised to see it was hollow, but no water stays in the brush and it makes a stand and the water runs off easily and dries quickly.

I have very fine hair, which tangles mercifully after washing. Using the Aqua Splash, it just combed through my hair, without damage through my hair. As my hair dried, I brushed it every so often, while watching TV and found I didn't need to straighten my hair, and it was beautifully smooth, shiny and silky. From now on, this brush is my go to brush for wet hair every time.

When your hair is wet, we have always been told not to brush it, as when wet hair is wet, it is weakened and subject to stretching and breakage. However the Aqua Splash brush is so gentle and soft, you have no worries. If you have very thick hair, the Aqua Splash brush with go through several layers of hair and after a few strokes, brush to the roots very gently with no damage. Brilliant for children's hair, no more complaints of pulling hair as it is brushed.

The Aqua Splash Tangle-Teezer is the first thing you need to put in your beach bag (after sun screen, of course). Remember how tangled beach hair is? Well it is nothing for the Aqua Splash brush.

http://phoenixnationale.com.au/ this is the website where you can purchase online or alternatively there is a Salon locator where you can buy one locally. They are a salon only purchase.

Aqua Splash is available in four water borne colours: Pink Shrimp, Blue Lagoon, Green Marine and Black Pearl.

This is Tangle Teezer's description of this beautiful brush: "Tangle Teezer AQUA SPLASH is the latest innovative detangling brush which will effortlessly banish tangles and knots from wet hair whilst distributing shampoo and conditioner and even masques evenly throughout hair.

Featuring patented, uniquely designed teeth which flex and flick as they glide through the hair, Tangle Teezer AQUA SPLASH eliminates tangles and knots on contact and minimises breakage, damage and splitting often caused by tugging and pulling on the hair shaft.

Perfect for all hair types, Tangle Teezer AQUA SPLASH features an exclusive non-slip design and unique ‘drying feet’ for hygienic, drip-dry benefits. The hollow structure allows water to cascade through from the hair for free-flowing detangling in the shower."


I love my brush, as does my whole family now, so it will be permanently in the bathroom...maybe I should buy another one to live in my beach bag for when we go skiing, would hate to forget and leave it at home. I already have the compact feline Tangle-Teezer in my bedroom permanently. I am hooked. Thanks Tangle-Teezer for bringing this beautiful brush into Australia.

Adrenal Insufficiency...secondary

I have been diagnosed with this condition, as my pituitary doesn't work, called empty sella syndrome and Pan Hypo Pituitarism.

So far hospitalised only once with seizures, had seven in one morning, ambulance couldn't get me out, as two story and they had to carry me down and I kept having seizures.

Now every time I catch something...a simple cold, flu or whatever, I go through this again. So I have cortisone to take when unwell, but GP's don't know enough, actually think I now know more, then they deride me for looking up 'Dr Google' as he called it.

Today I was at the end of week and half flu and my mother wanted me to take her to Aldi for specials. My husband later insisted in driving and thank God, he did. In the shop a cold clammy sweat came over me and I could feel like I was going out to it. He managed to get me to the car to at least sit, which was what I needed. It was funny, the day was so bright, like an overexposed photo.

So got home, took a big dose of cortisone and now feel better, although not strong at all. I am scared to go out, as I never know when this is going to happen. I hate it. Have been different health wise all my life and just tired of it. Took 35 years to diagnose the beginning of the condition.

Seen specialist now. On cortisone for life now causing weight gain etc. feel better in myself, but now with weight gain. Vicious circle.

Anyway, thank you for listening to my story...
