The Braid Releaser
The Braid Releaser is a brand-new tool made to protect your hair and prevent breakage as you take down your braids. With both a fine point and wider end, you can unravel any size of braid with this singular tool with speed, comfort and ease.

BabyTress Edge Styler
If you’re a long-time member of the CRWNMAG fam, then you know we’ve been rocking with BabyTress for a while now. If you’re new here, then welcome to the styling-revolution that is the Edge Styler! This 3-in-1 tool features a comb, a boar-bristle brush, and a pointed tip for perfect edges every time. Plus, every color is cute. It’s hard not to collect them all!
Felicia Leatherwood Detangler Brush
This Detangler Brush has been the GOAT amongst naturalistas for a minute now. One quick search on natural hair YouTube will send you down a rabbit hole of people raving about its magic. This tool — made by our friend and legend, Felicia Leatherwood — has effectively cut at least twenty minutes off my wash day routine. It glides through hair with ease, cutting down on the breakage and shed I was seeing with my old Denman.

Briogeo Scalp Massager
One of the first tips we hear about when we Google “Tips for Hair Growth” is the importance of massaging the scalp. If you’re anything like me, it was difficult to find time to bend over and rub my scalp with oils every morning, however magical it was supposed to be for stimulating follicles. I’ve been using the Briogeo Scalp Massager before bed, and for some extra time in the shower on wash days. The rubber tips provide a soft but firm pressure on my scalp that feels like a much-needed stress reliever at the end of a long day.
