The $39 Tool Behind Heidi Klum's Knot-Free Hair

Every morning, somewhere in a sleek, steam-filled bathroom, one of the world’s most recognizable heads of hair gets its daily ritual—and it’s simpler than you’d expect.

In a May 2026 interview with The Strategist, supermodel Heidi Klum’s relationship with her famous lengths is surprisingly no-nonsense. “I have long hair, so I love to do a wet brush in the shower,” she shared, praising the Sheila Stotts Untangle Brush aka the Removal Brush ($39). (The brush’s name works as hard as the brush, apparently.)

Billed as the “original remover of tangles,” the durable plastic handle features a flexible rubber cushion and gentle metal bristles that detangle quickly. One of its signature designs aligns with Klum’s routine, as it also features an intentional drainage hole, making it ideal for shower use. “This brush has steel bristles, and I use it to get the product from my roots all the way to the ends of my hair,” she adds.

Dishing out another strand step we can actually do at home (no glam squad required), Klum went on to detail the next step of her routine: “I’ll put conditioner in my hair and then use this brush to help slide it through all the way. A lot of people are like, ‘Why do you do this? You know, because your roots might get greasy or whatever.’ But I’ve always done it this way.”

Despite the naysayers, Klum says the results are solid. “When I come out of the shower, my hair is smooth—it’s not knotted.” Smooth hair, no knots, $39—consider us sold. If it’s good enough for Heidi Klum’s hair, it’s good enough for ours.
