The Tangle Teezer Compact has become one of my college bag essentials. It offers the same effortless detangling of the Original Tangle Teezer but only in a smaller size. The compact TT is slightly spindle shaped. It splits into two parts.
One part is the actual comb and the other part is the lid that protects the bristles once you're done using the TT. This lid keeps the bristles from bending and twisting in your bag.

The Tangle Teezer is a smaller, cuter cousin of the Original TT. It detangles hair painlessly and effortlessly and has become a great travel companion for me. You can't go wrong with this one.
My Tangle Teezer has a cute animal print on it. They're available in a variety of prints and patterns. Take your pick!
