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. LOL

Yes, I hardly ever put my unit on the wig head when wet. I usually place my curly units on the counter and comb through it when wet.

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.

Good Advice, I also spray a little water on the unit when it looks dry from the sun and detangle it from the ends up.

My hair is naturally curly and it will mat when wet.
You have to blot it dry or u can do like I do my natural hair & my LF & Weaves I let them drip dry.
conditioner is my friend.
i ues a conditioner everyday. but some dry ur hair out.
I mix my conditioner with water & a frizz ease type product.
I use detangling spray you find in the baby section.
The detangling spray works the best.
My kids even my boys have curly hair & detangler spray
is the best.
I just got a beater that was tangled b4 I bleached bathed it. I spray the detangling  spray & the tangles were loose on their own.
plain water will dry it. ur best bet is to keep detangling spray around.
Just becareful when the hair is wet.
Because If I fall asleep with wet hair the next morning I have dreads, and that my natural curly hair.
