1) What`s the best type of brush to use on your hair? 2) How often should your brush your hair - I er don`t even carry a brush around with me! lol. I tend to run my fingers through it. :p 3) If your hair has natural wave, would it always be frizzy once washed and conditioned and naturally dried? 4) What`s the best way to get corkscrew, ringlets, loose curls without using heating tongs? Thanks. :) |

1) Many people recommend using a boar or natural bristle brush. Plastic brushes and metal brushes can rip out a lot of hair. I use a boar bristle brush, and it works great for me. :) 2) I think it really depends on what you like. If you don`t usually brush your hair, there isn`t really a need to do it. It will save your hair from damage if you just continue to do what you have been doing. Of course, snarls and knots should be untangled gently with your fingers. If you don`t usually brush your hair, you probably don`t need to. 3) Why don`t you test it? I think it depends on the hair and the shampoo you use. A gentle shampoo would probably eliminate/lessen the frizziness. 4) I haven`t tried this, but friends of mine have and they say it works: just put in rollers (not heated) and sleep in them. You need to be careful, because this could rip out hair if you toss and turn a lot. I have also heard of people using hankercheifs and rolling and tying them up with the hair inside also works. Well, I hoped this helps. I have some more tips and information on my website. I haven`t updated in a while so there isn`t much there - but it`s a work in progress!

Thanks Whitney. I`ve been using photolgy products, and I have to say, if they went out of business - I`d die! They`re products are so gentle on your hair, and made out of plants and oils. :) But, I may try that. :> Thanks for you help! :) ------------- |

The best (and least damaging) way I know to get spiral curls is by tying your hair in rags. Marci`s Retro Style web site has a very good description of the technique: http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/2457/ - http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/2457/ Hope this helps. ------------- |
