| I've heard different things about what curly haired people should use to brush with. Should I be using a wide tooth comb or a paddle brush? I also keep reading that its bad to brush your hair when it's wet. But doesn't everyone with really curly hair have to? |

Detangle with a comb when wet, and be extra gentle. After your hair is dry, use your fingers only to detangle. When I go curly, I also try to keep the touching to a minimum so as to not break up the curl pattern. Brushes tend to be overkill for curls. I think they're meant for straight or slightly wavy hair, not for curlies. HTH Anais ------------- http://anaissatin.livejournal.com">  my LJ , 40 inches long

In the shower, use a comb to get the tangles out of your hair after you have put conditioner in your hair. After that don't use a brush or comb. Another thing about touching your hair when wet, that causes more FRIZZ so DON'T touch your hair when it is wet unless you are working with it. ------------- DANGER! I drive like you do. |

Unless I'm straightening my hair I don't brush it. When I condition my hair in the shower, I run my fingers through it to get the tangles out. You end up with a wod of hair on your fingers but it's the best way for your hair. ------------- "I feel sorry for people that don't drink.

I don't brush or comb my hair. I do the same as bentonace and run my fingers through it as well. I found that combing and/or brushing messes up my curls bad!!  |
