I&#8217;ve got long hair, and tangles (and dust bunnies, as I call them &#8211; how the hell they manage to form overnight amazes me) are a major headache. So I bought a Tangle Teezer just to try it out, and it is bloody brilliant. It really does get tangles out &#8211; and it&#8217;s good for the bunnies, too. I&#8217;ve had two so far &#8211; and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3JCcQ4s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Tangle Teezer on Amazon\">an Amazon mistake<\/a> with the second means I have another three on the shelf when the others wear out. They also do versions for pets &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Llyag7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Pet Teezer on Amazon\">the Pet Teezer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this current series, a couple more items have appeared which pulled me up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"490\" data-src=\"https:\/\/diaryofanadi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/matey.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39917 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/diaryofanadi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/matey.jpg 768w, https:\/\/diaryofanadi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/matey-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/diaryofanadi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/matey-730x466.jpg 730w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 768px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 768\/490;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Matey Measure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/mateymeasure.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Matey Measure website\"> Matey Measure<\/a> clicked with me immediately.

It helps you use a tape measure in a confined environment.
