MANTA Easy Grip Hair Brush - Original
The Pain-Free Way to Brush your hair. A hairbrush that works with your hands, not against them. Slide the MANTA brush between your fingers for a no-clench grip. Gently massage the scalp and brush fragile hair with ease.
Why it’s the #1 choice:
- Zero-Grip Technology: The brush is held by the natural shape of your hand. No finger strength required.
- Friendly Flexibility: The ultra gentle bristles glide through the hair. The unique flexguard patent allows you to tease knots out without a sharp jolt.
- Non-Slip Confidence: Even with wet hands or limited sensation, the ergonomic top-handle ensures the brush stays put.
- Scalp Health & Circulation: Beyond detangling, the soft bristles provide a gentle massage that can help stimulate the scalp, all while being kind to sensitive skin.
- Ultralight: Minimise arm fatigue, making it easier to reach the back of your head without straining your shoulder.
- Easy to clean: Rinse in warm soapy water and go. No build-up, no fuss.
Professional Tip:
Break it in: When your MANTA arrives, it may feel slightly firm. We recommend gently flexing the brush in your hands first. This softens the medical-grade material making it easier to flex for detangling.
Product Specifications:
- Material: Professional medical-grade heat-resistant (up to 80°C) and anti-static material.
- Suitability: Safe for use on wet or dry hair; ideal for fine or fragile hair and sensitive scalps.
- Weight: Lightweight (approx. 70g) for maximum ease of use.

Manta Curls Easy Grip Hair Brush - For Textured Hair
MANTA Curls Easy Grip Hair Brush – For Textured Hair
Tailored for Every Curl - From 3A to 4C. No snag or breakage, just deep respect for your natural texture.
The MANTA Curls changes the mechanics of your morning routine. By sliding the brush between your fingers and resting it in your palm, you use the strength of your whole hand and arm to glide through curls, eliminating the need for a painful, pincher-like fist grip. When your curls have been through stress, illness, treatment, or hormonal shifts, you need care, not compromise.
Why it’s the #1 choice:
- Deep-Reach Bristles: Designed with longer, firmer bristles to penetrate thick or coily hair right down to the scalp, without you having to press down hard with your wrist.
- Zero-Clench Control: Curly hair creates drag. Instead of your fingers straining to hold onto a slippery handle, the MANTA stays locked in your palm, giving you maximum leverage with minimum effort.
- Friendly Flexibility: Our patented Flexguard™ base allows you to tease knots out without a sharp jolt or breaking the hair.
- Distribute Product: Use it in the shower to work through conditioners or masks. The non-slip grip ensures the brush stays put even when your hands are soapy or wet.
Professional Tip:
Break it in: When your MANTA arrives, it may feel slightly firm. We recommend gently flexing the brush in your hands first. This softens the medical-grade material making it easier to flex for detangling.
Product Specifications:
- Material: Professional medical-grade heat-resistant (up to 80°C) and anti-static material.
- Suitability: Safe for use on wet or dry hair; ideal for fine or fragile hair and sensitive scalps. Ideal for 3a- 4c curly hair.
- Weight: Lightweight (approx. 70g) for maximum ease of use.

"The Keywing has made a far bigger difference than I anticipated. I have severe arthritis, and I was really beginning to struggle with just putting a key in the lock, never mind turning it. This product is so simple yet so incredibly effective. I highly recommend getting one if you are having trouble with using keys!"

"I really used to struggle using nail clippers in my left hand to trim the nails on my right hand. I just don't have the strength to hold the clippers and press down at the same time. This gadget has made trimming the nails on both hands so easy- I love it!"
Shelley

Elizabeth
"I find the kettle is a great help, as I was struggling lifting my old kettle to fill it....but this is amazing. It is lighter to lift to fill and fits into the cradle with ease. Glad I decided to buy the Ucello one after looking for an alternative to my own."
Janet
"Wow! They're great! I wondered if I needed them, if I was making a fuss about a twinge or two. Well the difference is striking! I genuinely feel relief! They wash and dry very well. I'm so pleased with my purchase. Thank you so much. I'm now thinking of buying them in different colours."
Christine
"I have bad Arthritis in both hands and fingers and find it difficult to open my security gate and front door. I had brought another item to help but it wasn’t much help so I thought I would give yours a try. Thank you so much it makes it so easy now and no more sitting on the step waiting for someone to help me.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"
Evelyn
"My daughter-in-law kindly bought me a pair of these gloves as the arthritis in my hands is getting worse. They have proved to give a lot of relief in my painful joints, so much so that I have treated myself to another pair. I would highly recommend these gloves."
Maggie
"I have osteoarthritic thumbs and so have tried a lot of tools for opening cans, from spoons to really expensive gadgets. This reasonably priced and simple tool is by far the most successful. I have used it on ring pull cans of various shapes and sizes without a problem. My thumbs say thank you!"
Anna
"Love the key turners. They really help as I often struggle to hold anything between my thumb and finger let alone exert any pressure through my arthritic bent and swollen joints. They also help me to spot my keys when I have buried them after putting them down! It sounds like I am over exaggerating but little aids like this really help and make me happy."
Fawzia
"Excellent gloves, really help to relieve the pain…at a push I can wear whilst driving. Currently it’s just my right hand that’s bad, so left hand glove a tad redundant for now."
Justin
"Omg what a fantastic kettle, my mum has arthritis and this as made her gain more independence and made life alit easier. Such a simple thing and hey we love it, thank you."
