Hey, this mite be considered a noob or random room question but i figured it'd get more looks on the main page. anyway i was curious about the overbrushing theory. my top rite near the back isn't completely waving yet and usually the vets say brush more. then recently i saw a post that said dont brush a spot too much or it wont wave at all. so my question is, when are you considered to be overbrushing a specific spot and overbrushing in general??? ------------- Still on That Come Up Mayne http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?srv=img39&img=/8/6/27/f_0619071224m_9c39e51.jpg">

Good question. I think that when you first start waving the more brushing you do the better.
I disagree with the statement below, that was written in Wave FAQ.
Brush hair at most 1/1 ½ hours daily. Note: Too much brushing will actually break up the waves and prevent them from forming tightly. ------------- DUB-C |

That's exactly what i read when i was a newbie and found out thru experience that that isn't true. Tho if you're scalp starts hurting then you are overbrushing. That won't break your wave pattern; it'll just have your head sore for a couple of days. ------------- http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/12/8/f_sigma008m_7947f3e.jpg&srv=img37">

^^ To add to that I used to brush and I would hit my ears every time I brushed. Whether it was a soft or medium brush my ears would hurt afterwards. I think Cash had this problem or something similar to it, but I knew I was brushing too much then because my ears were getting sore. Another way of looking at it is as if your working out for example: When your working out and your body is sore that's a good sign or way past the good sign that you've reached your limit. So when your brushing if this occurs I think you should stop and wait awhile or like TSOH said and use a softer brush. ------------- "FOR BETTER CONNECTIONS BRUSH SLOWER WITH LESS PRESSURE" WOLFING COMPLETE = MY WAVES ARE UNTOUCHABLE |

thanx fellas. I thought that wave fact was a little odd. but anyway for the parts that are tight am i still cool to brush them as much as my weak section or should i slack up and just focus more on that spot? ------------- Still on That Come Up Mayne http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?srv=img39&img=/8/6/27/f_0619071224m_9c39e51.jpg">
