I haven't tried most of those products so I can't help you there. The reason the wide tooth comb is better is because it tends to make you start at the bottom and carefully work your way up loosening your knots instead of tearing through them from the top down. That said, I much prefer a brush because I like to brush my scalp. A brush is okay if you are careful and you get one that doesn't have those stupid plastic balls on the ends of each bristle that peel off and pull your hair. (Unfortunately, its almost impossible to find one without those plastic ends, so if you find one, do share...I could really use a new brush as my 10 year old one's bristles are popping off, but I won't be trading it in until I find a good hair safe one with which to replace it). ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

Hi Precious Girl, If you don't already have a wide-tooth comb, I would recommend that. Paddle brushes are best used after the hair is completely detangled using a comb. As for conditioners, the fewer silicones (and lower they are in the ingredient list), the better. In my experience, what's most important in a shampoo is to not apply it full strength (and to only apply it to the scalp and the hair near the scalp). I would skip the straightening and heat balms; they'll merely coat your hair with silicones (which will ultimately dry it out), and the heat balm will encourage you to apply heat, which will damage it. HTH! ------------- |

Wide tooth wooden combs are great - the smoother the better! I don't recommend getting it wet, nor using it on wet hair, though (since it is made of wood)

Get the Dove brand. It has done wonders for mine since I started using it. |

Doesn't the dove brand have silicones? I might be wrong, but for some reason I have always thought the do.

I think so, too. Drugstore.com usually has ingredients listed.
I found the shampoos too harsh ------------- http://amandapandahair.spaces.live.com/ - My Long Hair Odyssey
