When do you comb curly hair so that you get the least breakage? I have been told that curly hair should never be combed/brushed while dry because of breakage and frizz. However, hair is to fragile when wet to be combed then(or so says the daily tip for the day). When am I supposed to get out the tangles and how do I do so with the least amount of Damage???
Help Please!!!

I was told to comb with a large tooth comb in the shower only while the conditioner is in my hair. I have tried everyway imaginable and this has been the best for me. I just comb in the conditioner very slowly and gently, never pulling hard. I also don`t wrap my hair in a towel anymore. I just squeeze it gently with a towel and then let it lay wet on the towel over my shoulders until it air dries a little. Then I use a diffuser. Since I have started this regiem I see a great difference in my curls (they look more like ringlets now), less frizz and hardly no breakage whatsoever. Good luck.
