Details

Knots in hair, magically disappear.

The magic trick behind the Knot Genie™ and Teeny Genie™ is one we are happy to reveal. It all has to do with the different lengths of teeth on the brush. When brushing, they bend just right, to gently untangle the hair. And because of this lack of stress, the hair's cuticle stays unharmed… revealing the smoothest, shiniest hair you've ever seen.

Handles like a dream. The fact that The Knot Genie isn't like traditional hair brushes goes way beyond the bristle side. Its unique cloud-shaped top fits the palm nicely, whether you're right or left handed. Which means it feels more like an extension of your hand than a grooming tool. And also means the brushing process is far more comfortable, gentle, and most importantly, done quickly. Voila!

Tips + Tricks

  • Conditioner helps. Just like lock lubricant helps a frozen lock, conditioner helps the Knot Genie undo knots and tangles. Condition after washing, and then rub a bit of conditioner between your hands and work through wet hair before brushing.
  • Go easy on shampoo. The better the hair's condition, the easier it will be to brush — even with your Knot Genie. So when working with hair that needs to be "washed" every day (like curly hair that can only be brushed wet), use shampoo only every few days and "wash" with conditioner the others.
  • Start small go slowly. Hair that is extremely hard to brush (especially long or curly hair) should be sectioned before brushing. Use your fingers to separate a section at a time and then begin brushing against your hand, starting at the ends and working up to the roots. This will let you apply extra untangling pressure to the knots, without pulling the hair.
  • Dry or wet? Thick, straight or wavy hair will shine beautifully after brushing wet or dry. But don't ever brush curly hair dry with any brush, including the Knot Genie. Unless, of course, you're going for that Bozo look.

Hair Types

Straight Hair - Talking straight (hair)

Here are a few tips for straight, silky hair:

  • A bit of leave-in conditioner is awesome post-washing for straight hair as it prevents fly-a-ways and keeps styled hair smooth
  • Stay away from gels which contains alcohol as they can dry out hair. If you flat-iron (more on that later), pick a product made for heat styling.
  • Thick, straight hair should be brushed with your Knot Genie, one section at a time, until it's free of knots. Make sure to start at the bottom of each section where hair is the knottiest. Once all the sections are done, just brush all around to finish.
  • After drying with hot air, you can freeze in that gorgeous straightness with a shot of cold air from your hair dryer. Cold air actually helps removes "humidity" and helps the style set.
  • As a final step to glorious, straight hair, rub a small amount of thick gloss serum between your palms and smooth over the surface of your hair. Brush through your hair with The Knot Genie one last time. If weather conditions are humid or rainy, or if static is an issue, add a quick shot of hairspray.
  • A final note... (you flat iron addicts aren't off the hook yet). Even though the flat iron makes your hair to-die-for straight and shiny... it won't look like that forever. Use it sparingly and use a deep conditioning treatment as often as possible, ideally every other week. And make sure to cut your ends regularly, about 1/2 inch every 10-12 weeks.

Curly Hair - Everybody wants it (unless they have it)

Here are a few tips to make your curly hair the kind people rave about:

  • Never brush curly hair when it is dry! Brushing dry curly hair disrupts the curl pattern, making it large and frizzy. Use the Knot Genie to brush curly hair only when it is wet.
  • If you love that tight "springy" look, brush your hair in the shower or bath with the Knot Genie and then simply squeeze in styling product afterwards, being careful not to re-stretch the curls.
  • At night, pull your hair into a loose pony tail. Pulling the curls up or back helps contain the curls so you are not tossing them around all night.
  • Consider long hair. While many people think curly, hard-to-manage hair should be cut short, often that leads to a "mushroom" look. Extra weight pulls curls down and makes them gorgeous, especially when cut with long layers.

Wavy Hair - Getting gorgeous waves

Not curly, not straight, but definitely gorgeous.

  • Wavy, thick hair is often as challenging as thick curly hair, so make sure to brush with your Knot Genie one section at a time, and start from the bottom of each section and work your way up.
  • Adding some long layers to the hair often turns waves into unbelievable loose curls that many people love. Check with your stylist to see if this type of a style would work for you.
  • Try sleeping in several braids and the brushing out with your fingers or your Knot Genie in the morning. The results can be downright magical.
  • Be sure to trim your hair on a regular basis to avoid having your waves turn frizzy. Aim for about 1/2 inch every 10-12 weeks.
  • Kids with longer, wavy or curly hair look amazing in the "1/2 up, 1/2 down" look, where you pull everything above the ears into a ponytail and leave the rest hanging long. It's comfortable, practical and stylish.

Mind of its own Hair - You can control me

  • Customers with ethnic hair and flat, lifeless hair are some of the most frustrated and desperate people that often take the time to write us!
    Let's start with a few tips for ethnic hair (these apply to the countless pleas for help we get from customers with biracial kids).
  • Check out all of the suggestions in our Curly hair section. Chances are they will all apply...
  • Make sure to always brush from the bottom, up, one section at a time. Work through the knots in the lowest couple inches of the hair, and then move up a couple inches higher.
  • Use a firm stroke, brushing each section against the side of the palm of your hand.
  • Keep lots of detangler on hand and on days you have not wet or washed the hair, just refresh with the detangler and your fingers.
  • Ethnic hair is typically strong, but it can also snap easily from too much stress. This is one of the major reasons The Knot Genie works so well, as it gently untangles knots. Make sure you go easy on other things that stress the hair... go easy on the glued-in extensions, tight braids and cornrows, and hard, gel hairstyles. Alternating between wearing the hair loose and braiding it on a weekly basis is a good rule of thumb.
  • Try drying your hair upside down and then spraying with some hairspray. You'll love the volume. And you might even get to skip your blush that day ;-)
  • Loose braids are a great option, especially if you are trying to grow the hair out. The braid keeps the hair controlled, without the need for heat and chemicals. OK, now for our other big "mind of its own" audience. The flat, lifeless hair types.
  • First, your hair might be flat and lifeless, but we KNOW everything else about you is anything but!!! (ok, just needed to say that).
  • Flat, thin hair is also very delicate and prone to breakage, so The Knot Genie is ideal for you as it is very gentle on the hair.
  • When you get your next cut, try some short, choppy layers in it. That will give some extra "poof" to the top of your head.
  • Forget everything you heard from us about leaving in conditioner. You don't need anything that could potentially weigh your hair down. Use volumizing shampoo and conditioner and then a volumizing spray for blowdrying. Volumizing is your magic word.

Q + A's

What kind of hair does the Knot Genie work best on?.

We often show our product being used on very curly hair because these are the people that frequently write us (at their wits end) and then thank us a zillion times for changing their hairbrushing life! But curly hair is only one type of hair that responds magically to the Knot Genie. Straight, fine hair has been proven to tangle even worse than curly hair and is quickly untangled with a Knot Genie. We also get rave reviews from customers who use their Knot Genie on extensions and wigs.

How can I decide between ordering the Knot Genie vs. the Teeny Genie?

The Teeny Genie is 20% smaller and perfect for kids learning how to brush their own hair, travel, purses, diaper bags, gym/pool bags and for people who just prefer a smaller brush!

How do I know the Knot Genie is safe?

All Knot Genie products have been tested and are BPA free and comply with US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act.
