Colorado mom invents hair detangling hair brush

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. — Rikki Mor’s hair brushing creation is called the “Knot Genie.” It’s a uniquely designed hair comb/brush that does wonders on the worst tangles.

Her design for the hair device came after years of frustration dealing with her own daughters’ hair, which came in three different states of curliness.

“I just had to find a way to deal with their hair,” she said. “I always told myself I wouldn’t cut my kids’ hair, after my mom named me with a boy’s name and cut off all my hair as a youngster. Little did I know I would have three girls, all with thick curly, super long hair!”

So after owning every type of comb and brush, Rikki came up with an idea to take those little balls off the tips of each bristle. She also removed the handle to give more leverage, and then decided to make each bristle a different length to form with each texture of hair.

Her invention is in salons all over the world. It’s also for sale on line and it can be found in metro Denver salons for adults and kids of all ages.

All Jack and Jill salons have the Genies on their shelves and a portion of each sale goes to fight breast cancer.
