Janeke has made brushes in Italy since the 1830s. For most of that time it was known for traditional bristle brushes. The Superbrush changed that. It is light, vented, and built to go through wet hair without pulling, and it has become one of the most copied brushes around.
What it does well
- Detangling wet hair. The flexible pins bend around knots instead of tearing through them.
- Faster drying. The open, vented head lets air from a dryer through, so it works well for a rough blow-dry.
- Everyday handbag use. It is light and inexpensive enough not to worry about.
What it doesn't do
It will not give you a sleek, polished blow-out. For smoothing and shine, a bristle brush does a better job. Janeke's nylon and boar bristle brush is the one to pair it with: Superbrush to detangle, bristle brush to finish.
Which Superbrush?
They all brush the same. The difference is the finish. The Black & White and Colour Collection are the everyday options. Pastel, Leopard and the Gold edition make good gifts.
The verdict
For the price, yes. It is one of the few beauty tools almost everyone finds a use for, especially if you have long, thick or curly hair that knots easily.
