The invention provides a hair care device for use in untangling hair. The hair care device includes a body portion (10a, 10b) and a plurality of substantially parallel flexible bristles (12a, 12b) made of soft plastics material and projecting from the body portion. The bristles are arranged such that over at least a part of the area of bristles, some of the bristles are of shorter length (12b). The bristles and the shorter length bristles are interspersed over the at least part of the area of bristles.
