It's a lot of parent and child's LEAST favourite time of the day. The brushing out of tangled hair. Cue screams and cries of 'not so hard' or 'that hurts'.

A detangling brush is being recommended by hairdressers who work specifically with children – and shoppers are loving it.

The Wetbrush Go Green detangling brush has got more than 7,000 5-star reviews on Amazon with one reviewer calling it 'game-changing.'

At £14.99 it may be on the slightly pricey side but a Netmums staffer who swears by the product says it's well worth it:

'When I took my 4 year olds for a haircut recently, the hairdresser was raving about the brush she was using,' she told us.

'She said it's the ONLY brush she uses on kids now– she hasn't picked up a Tangle Teezer since using this one. I bought one and she is right – it's amazing. One of my girls gets such knotty hair and it's a nightmare to keep tangle free, but this brush makes it so much easier.'

One person wrote emphatically: 'Buy the damn brush !!! My 4 year old has very curly hair that gets so tangled. This brush clears the knots effortlessly!'

Another added: 'Love this brush, got it for a very brush shy 2 year old with curly (knotty) hair who hated us brushing her hair even after lots of conditioning. She barely even notices us brushing with this one and is quite happy now to let us sort her hair.'

And it works on adults too!

One person wrote: 'If you want a gentle brush that doesn’t break your hair but does get rid of the knots. This is for you! Genuinely the best brush I’ve ever had. It’s everything I was looking for as my hair was starting to get dry and breaking.'

Another explained it had solved her 'thick curly tangles'.

'I don't know how this works, but it is remarkable. This brush glides through wet hair, easily removing tangles with no pulling or breakage. I only wish my mum had had one of these when I was little- how many tears would I have been spared?'

'Better than tangle teezer'

One shopper wrote: 'I usually hate brushing my hair, but this brush feels soo nice going through my hair and untangles it so easily - better than my tangle teezer ever could! My hairdresser actually used this on my hair and I said to her OMG I need to know what this brush is it feels so lovely! So I went on Amazon asap and bought it! I can’t believe how excited I am over a hairbrush loool'
