I have uncolored, wavy, fairly-fine, shoulder-length hair. What kind of hairbrush is best for my hair? I mostly have natural or copies-of-natural bristle brushes. I've tried one with little plastic globes on the end of little plastic bristles, but I think that one might yank out more hair. What about combs? I used picks for a long time, but have been using plastic, close-together-teeth combs recently. Occasionally, I break the teeth on that type, though. |

If your hair is wavy, you may even want to skip using the brush completely. Detangling is best done with a comb and not a brush. You could look into getting a seamless comb from Rachael Stephens or Kent (uncommonscents.com). Those don't have the "seams" in between teeth that result from putting plastic into a mold.

When I wash and air-dry my hair, it is very wavy (I think what hair
experts would consider full of S-curves?), but it tends to look messy
as the waves aren't a consistent form (my Mom used to say that uncombed
long hair looked witch-y, so I may be too critical of the state of my
uncombed hair). When I come or brush it, it still has body and a slight
general wave, but tends to loose all the distinct different waves. I've pin-curled and air-dried tendrils and they can stay with a pretty tight curl pretty much all day -- unless I comb the tendril. |

You can try combing it only when it's wet, then letting it air dry and
not combing it again (ideally with a wide toothed seamless comb like
Anais suggested). You may also want to try oiling with jojoba oil
(using very little...a drop or two, only from the ears down). It
may give more form to your waves and will certainly make them shiny. ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |
