QuoteReplyTopic: Do U ever comb curly wavy unit Posted: April 23 2008 at 12:20am
Help please first wavy unit, just washed and conditioned it. Question when wet can or do I suppose comb conditioner thru it ? I know your not suppose to comb when wet, but how will I get sm amt tangles out
I always comb my curly units out while the conditioner is in them because it's easeir to detangle that way. However, to prevent the hair from being pulled out of the lace cap I don't comb it on the wig stand. Instead, I grip the entire lace cap down by the nape and comb the hair out starting at the very tips and patiently work my way up to the nape to detangle it. This prevents any pressure or pulling on the knots that might cause excessive shedding or bald spots. HTH

Yes, good tip. I do the same.
Also, if you absolutely MUST comb/brush the unit while it's dry, spray some leave-in conditioner onto your brush/comb and it'll slide through the hair easier and pull on it less. And only use a wide tooth comb or vent brush. The best way to comb is with your fingers.

Another tip for wavy/curly units (since they do tend to tangle a bit more) is to ALWAYS clip your hair up whenever you can. For instance while I'm in the house, I clip my hair up off my shoulders. Whenever I drive in my car, I have clips in the glove box for clipping my hair up. Of course, when I get out of my car, it's always fun to remove the clip and swing my hair around in slow motion (like on the movies) allowing the waves and curls to blow free in the breeze.

Well I usually comb through wet and dry and but first I finger comb first and divide the hair into several pieces and braid them to keep them from tangling. And then I comb section by section from the tips up. And I have not had any shedding at all since I got this unit.
