Today I Love My…

Wrangle Tangle
Up & Up Hair Detangling Spray
$2.39 – 13 ounces
Target

My four year old, Madelyn “Rae Rae”, and I have an agreement: If she lets me comb through her thick, golden, shoulder length locks, without screaming, she can grow her hair out. If she kicks, moans, wails or runs away when it’s time to coiff her do, I am going to march her directly to our favorite hair stylist, Fancy Nancy, and order up a chin length bob.

No joke.

Attempting to comb out snarls and fulfill piggy tail requests has become a labor of love. And detrimental to my blood pressure level

We have tried other detangling sprays in the past, and my favorite to date was a recommendation by a friend who did hair in her former life;  Kenra Daily Provision. It’s awesome and it smells great. To be fair, the only reason I strayed from loyalty to this product was availability. When you have a four year old on strike (with a tangled nest of hair on her head) , it’s late on Friday and I am standing in Targe’ Boutique…Store brands win.

Bonus: You can never have too many bottles of detangler. They walk off at my house and are lost for a week at a time.

My favorite thing about Wrangle Tangle is the smell. It isn’t watermelon, apple or berries. Thank You Jesus. It is lemon scented. Slightly sweet, not sickening in the slightest. It’s fresh without punching you in the face. Or making you gag. It’s just pleasant.

The bottle is super cute as well. And easy to maneuver with one hand, a bonus when you are corralling a squirrelly kid in the other.

Most importantly, it leaves Maddy’s locks silky smooth and manageable all day. She is happy and my patience tank on Full. (Or as close to full as it can be.)

That makes for the start of a very good day.

    Something else to put in my arsenal, thanks!
    Me and LJ have the same agreement about combing hair and letting it grow up. Too be honest I’m thisclose to getting it cut before K just for my sanity!
    We have California baby detangler now, nice smell!

    Uh, that would be letting it grow out not up! ;)

    Oddly enough, I knew exactly what you meant. Didn’t even catch that! :)California Baby is awesome. Love their sunscreen. And it’s top rated by the EWG.

    Painful childhood memories of Mom doing anything to my hair. Once she did a home perm leaving it on nice and long to get our money’s worth and to create a Shirley Temple (Carrot Top)look. The brushing,aka hair removal, still brings tiny tears to my eyes! After all these years, she is amazed I remember…hmm like yesterday!

    I used to be a loyal L’Oreal Burst of Sweet Pear Detangler user. One day I picked up the Target brand, much for the same reason you did, and LOVE it. That’s all I’ll buy now.
