Thank you for listing this out!

I can’t brush mine while wet because it’s too fragile. I just dry brush it then re wet it afterwards and style. I don’t understand the crime of brushing it dry

@@halobaby0331 It’s not a crime, but your hair is more prone to breakage when it’s dry or dripping wet. Towel dried hair absorbs products better which allows a brush or comb to slip the through the hair easier. If it’s dripping wet all of the product will just run out, and if it’s bone dry your hair cuticle is slightly lifted and brushing will cause breakage which results in split ends. It really truly comes down to what works for you and what doesn’t. You know your hair best, and we are just here to help you get to your end goal. If brushing dry, rewetting and styling works for you, then just keep on doing that!

My hair suddenly changed, i don´t know why, but i noticed that when being dry, they explode when being brushed and it looks so bad. Now my hair stylist of at least 10 years suddenly tells me that i developed curls xD My hair is really thick and heavy too and it was so confusing suddenly how i should take care if them haha so thanks for you comments !

When you say "wet brush" do you mean the hairbrush brand "Wet" or is it a type of brush sold by many brands?

@@Amiranne128 that actual brand Wet Brush

Maybe you could use a detangling spray?

Refresh your hair by spraying a bit of water and using a mousse or leave-in conditioner. You're supposed to detangle in the shower with a hair mask or conditioner that has good slip. Also, stop touching your hair, it will mess up your wave pattern and your hands can make your hair dirty. Also, wide tooth combs ain't shit, they take way too long to detangle, use a wet brush💅

alright don’t worry, first of all if ur hair gets knotty then wet it completely then detangle add mousse, some curling cream, scrunch and ur good to go ;)

Hey queen, I’m a licensed hair stylist and I definitely recommend brushing your hair AT LEAST once or twice a week. Like she said, don’t do it when it’s dry. On towel dried hair, apply your leave ins/oils and with a WIDE TOOTH COMB (***very important) brush through your hair in sections, starting from the bottom up. ALWAYS start from the bottom and work your way up. The reason we recommend not brushing your hair when it’s wet is because your hair stretches a lot, and pulling and tugging with a brush when it’s wet causes it to stretch out and break, but if you’re cautious, you should be okay. Not brushing at all will also cause breakage though, so it’s just about finding a happy medium! 😊

use a wide tooth comb instead of a brush :)

So u don't comb your hair now? I'm so confused how to go without combing , how do you tie it ???

Oh, there are wide tooth combs and wide bristle brushes for wavy and curly hair types, they are really good btw. 😅

Same girl, same.

@@ankitamohanty662 I have type 2b waves. I think because our moms were on us about making sure we brushed our hair when where little, people are too obsessed with the idea that thorough hair bushing is totally necessary, but if you have curls of any kind (yes, waves are curls!), it's really not. When I get up in the morning, I use a wide-toothed comb, or sometimes just finger comb because sometimes even a wide-toothed comb can break the curls and cause them to fluff up in an unruly way, on any very unruly spots if I have serious bedhead. However, I don't worry about making sure to get all of my hair, because it's not needed. I'll then apply light product for frizz and am ready to go. If I need put it up, I just put it up. Once I realized that I didn't have straight hair, I just became less obsessed with the idea that I need a tight and sleek ponytail or bun. I mean...I don't, really. I'm not in the military nor am I a ballerina, I don't need to fit strict hair regulations, and my hair looks good with more of a relaxed textured updo than a tight pony/bun. And I absolutely never comb it when it's wet! Not even when I blow-dry it. Like most people with curly hair, I use a defuser and just let the defuser cradle it as it drys, then put in product. No round brush needed. When my hair is shorter, which is how I usually keep it, this is all I really do in terms of combing. When I let it grow out, though (for example during COVID), I did noticed that proto-dreds started to form at the back of my neck (that's where curly hair tends to be most tight), so I did need to work those out. However, doing it with my fingers was far less damaging than trying to rip a comb or brush through them. That would just end up breaking the hair and tearing out clumps of it. I also found that a leave in conditioner helped them not form.

@@ankitamohanty662 Some important things to note if you're not brushing constantly: put your hair in a protective style overnight and/or a silk bonnet, a silk pillowcase helps too; don't touch or flip your hair around in general; put it in a protective style if it's windy or rainy outside, even a loose bun on top of your hair will do; use a shower cap on the days you're not washing it. If you do all of that, you just don't need to brush it every day (bear in mind, it has leave in conditioner and product in it to help with hold and taming frizz). As a wavy haired person who can stretch wash days out 5-6 days, on day 3 or 4 I often gently detangle a little with my fingers to make it look neater, and maybe get it slightly damp or use a refresh spray to tame frizz and revitalise the wave. If that's just not working, I just go for a messy bun 😄 But I used to treat it like straight hair (I was very poofy) and brush it every day, so getting my head around the idea that I didn't have to do that did take some adjustments. I also had to practice things like putting my hair in a loose bun or claw clip without pulling it tight, and figure out how to get things working right on wash day (how to use products and techniques) so it didn't frizz up horribly over time. Honestly it's still a work in progress, and I have a lot of bleach damage which doesn't help, but on the days I get it right my hair looks good enough I can wear it down on day 5 with just a little bit of water and a tiny bit of leave in conditioner spritzed on and scrunched in to help tame some frizz. And that's without brushing it since wash day! It sounds impossible when you're not used to it, but it can be done! Just don't expect it to look sleek and slicked-down around your head when tied up, that look does almost always require a brush. I only use a brush to smooth down the top if I need to be fancy - going to a wedding or something - and even then I'm very careful and only use it to smooth big bumps once my hair is already tied up.

we're on the same boat asdbjfasdhlb

Which oils r goid?

Almond oil has worked for me, but keep in mind everyone is different.

Use tea tree oil for this condition

I have seborrheic dermatitis and it actually became worse after a couple of months using coconut oil in my scalp. I went to the hair dresser and got a professional exfoliation and now i keep using an exfoliating shampoo and it got much better. Sometimes, and especially in our case, less is more.

lmk if it works for you love🥹🫶🏻

omg tysm😭😭

omg coincidence?!! i think not the universe made it for u 🤭🫶🏻

@@jasanahis ❤️

usually most hair rosemary oils i’ve seen are already mixed in with another oil probably for that reason!

I have fine, dense, low-porosity hair and the stringy battle is real! I have found that moisture and getting good curl clumps with soaking wet hair is key to really combatting the stinginess and dry frizz. Also, just time - I’m about 8 months into my natural hair journey and my hair is so much healthier, wavier, and less stringy than when I started. I have mild MCAS (plus a bunch of other stuff lol! but am very sensitive to fragrance and certain ingredients) My top recs are: Ouidad fragrance free bonding shampoo and conditioner, Maui Moisture Curl Quench shampoo and conditioner (has a coconut smell but never had issues and very gentle on scalp), and LUS Curly All-In-One Fragrance Free. I do a deep cleanse every few weeks or so with a cheap herbal essences sulfate shampoo (the rose one) to get rid of build-up and weirdly have had no issues with that - I also use if I have a reaction to a product and need something to help really cleanse it from my hair and scalp effectively, works very well just follow with moisture. I’ve been okay with JVN and Virtue products but they are scented and I wish they weren’t. Gels and mousses tend to be too scented and scalp irritating for me but I have used the Curlsmith Hydrojelly with good success and am going to test the LUS sea moss gel. Innersense is a main stay of the curly girl movement and they are making more fragrance free products - their conditioner doesn’t have enough “slip” for me but I found the shampoo and conditioner very gentle and non-irritating. There is also Seen which as a brand is very focused on non-irritating, fragrance free hair care but I have yet to try personally. I brush style in the shower with soaking wet hair and a wet brush and then plop with a hair towel and get pretty good results, but it took a long time for my hair to heal, learn what works, and get good results. Still mastering the refresh but a continuous water mister is super helpful and I will brush if it’s getting very knotty/frizzy - I am just very gentle and use a tangle teezer. And, I brush before washing - helps a lot with oil distribution, build-up, circulation, and any scalp itchiness. I hope this helps!

It kinda has to be tangled. But it gets frizzy so you have to refresh it every other day with water and product

Use a sulphates free gentle everyday shampoo

I have OCD too and while for me it doesn’t affect this I totally get how awful it would feel if it did. I think It’ll be totally fine if you wash it every day if you find a good conditioner and hair mask to keep your moisture up, I think the only reason people say not to wash so often is so it doesn’t strip hair of moisture if I’m not wrong

u can get a comb for curly hair with widely spaced teeth and gently comb through ur hair with it

Brush it and then use a spray conditioner or salt water spray. Brings it back to normal.

yes, that's what i've found too. since i was actually cutting right before the wavy part. long hair is definitely the way to go with this issue.

Dont use a comb, try a wet brush, always start slowly from the ends the the mid ends.

i put it in a braid and then the next day refresh it with some wave spray and/or mousse ᵕ̈

same prob. 😪

Exactly! All these videos are about washing but I want to know what to do on day 2 and 3 and 4. And I'm loosing a lot of hair do to thyroid problems so it would be nice to know how to keep a good style without combing? But then what about the hair that is not falling out?

its not necessarily all the effort to *get* the hair curly/wavy, because you can still see the wave patterns present when the hair is freshly out of the shower. its more about *maintaining* and *defining* waves/curls after it's dried because having a looser curl pattern means that it doesn't have the same strong hold as tighter curls do. It's very easy to just undo that when failing to apply the proper techniques to caring for that sorta hair (like dry brushing through it root to tips with a bad brush). and the thing is, you really don't need that many products to manage this. I mean, aside from basic shampoo and conditioner in the shower, i personally just use mouse and a leave-in. As for putting in a lot of effort, I mean, wavy/curly hair in general takes a lot of effort for maintenance. This is no different! Hope that helps.
