this product does snag but is a good concept [SEP] this is great in concept i have sisterlocks and appreciated that i could use this tool on my very thin locs but i agree with the other reviewer concerning the snagging it definitely snags the hair during tightenings i had to cut the tool in order to get it out of my hair because it became tangled in it i saw a diagram for a homemade tool which is similar to this one that is made out of guitar strings so i may try that instead
