Something to add: If you're one of those people the denman brush doesn't work for - the tangle teezer wet brush is great to style long 2b - 3a type hair because it doesn't seperate the hair as much and cause frizz like the denman brush does for some people with 2b/2c hair

I have 2a/2b hair that I always thought was completely straight, but just frizzy. Dry brushing has caused so much breakage so when I found out I could detangle my hair wet it completely changed the game for me. I've been detangling in the shower for about 2 years now and my hair has never been this healthy. Before my hair never felt like it wasn't growing at all because it was just breaking off all the time, now I'm retaining more length than ever. So I just wanted to thank all the curly girls for helping with my hair care. ❤️

Detangling before/during the shower, styling, smoothing, even touch-up detangling throughout the day. I've seen so many people say that wavy types shouldn't use a brush on dry hair (or EVER) because it "ruins the waves" and I've just never found that to be true.

Hey girl! I dont know if this will help but when my hair gets matted (i have fine hair and a looser texture) I put deep conditioner on my hair, a plastic cap, and then i warm up water (heat it up to a point that you feel comfortable with) dip a towel in it, extract the extra water from the towel and then i put the towel in top of my plastic cap. After that, i put a shower cap on top of all of that to encapsulate the heat, that makes my nots softer and makes it easier for me to detangle when i have matted hair.

Hey, I'm sorry to hear about your Mum. I used to have long dreadlocks, and brushed them out last year. It took like 4 hours per dread, and took months. My advice is to tease out as much as you can with your fingers, almost like you're trying to fluff it up and , then use something like a metal tail comb, and tease at the edges of the knots using the point. I actually used a pin, and a metal skewer. Work from the bottom up and keep combing the loose hair to stop it tangling, and switch between methods. I didn't use conditioner, I tried it on a few and found it easier to identify the real problem areas without. I did condition after. Obviously my experience is a bit different, and only what worked for me, but I hope it helps in some way. Bekki

So I’m apparently 3 years late 😂 as I just saw this video! And today I skipped on out and bought a paddle brush with nylon bristles and that odd brush you showed for wet detangling. And OMG, I just used the paddle brush with my prepoo and compared to using my wide tooth comb I had almost no shedding! I’ve always been advised to stir clear of brushes even with my wet detangling so I’ve always used a wide tooth comb. I have mid back length 3c/4b natural curly hair for reference here and when I decided to stop relaxing my hair about 10 years ago brushes were not considered to be black hair friendly. But based on your video and the Blowout Professor gut talking about using brushes for detangling I decided to try something new and I’m so glad I did! Thanks!❤

This whole video for some reason reminded me of when I was little and I grabbed one of those really thin styling combs (the tail ones), twisted it into the front of my hair like spaghetti... and got it caught... I couldn’t get it out and didn’t want to get in trouble so I just cut it and used it as an excuse to cut “bangs”... I was stupid, if you couldn’t tell. So I went through the entirety of my second semester of 5th grade wearing this wide, stretchy, BRIGHT ORANGE headband every single day to keep the bangs back and hide them so no one would see them. And this was all when I used to straighten my hair every day, too! They actually grew out quite nicely though 😂 Never again!!!! Also, that green, fancy, weird looking, loopy brush... I just got one and it is A GAME CHANGER!!!!! I love that brush so much. I already convinced my cousin to buy it for her husband who also has curly hair, longer than mine, which I am jealous of. Well, actually, I convinced him to convince her to buy it for him 😂 Update: I just learned I’ve been removing the removable part of my knock-off denman brush wrong 🙃

Just wanted to say thank you! Your videos have helped me so much. I started embracing my curls a few years ago but it has only been since discovering your video that I have been able to style them nicely. When I am at work I do tend to put my hair up so it is out of my face. Todat I wore it down and one of my regulars comment on my curls...she hadnt realized that the curls were natural and said she thought I'd used a curling iron to do my hair. It was like yes its a good curl day. So thank you so much for teaching us and keep up the great videos

I wish I had this video when I was a kid!! I was the only girl with curly hair in my family growing up; my mother had naturally stick-straight hair, and I was taught to take care of my hair as if it was straight. There were so many times that it was easier for me to cut away the matted masses of knots than to comb them out. It was so embarrassing, and so painful, both physically and emotionally. I'm so glad this kind of knowledge is getting out there in the world so that other little girls and teens (and grown women!) can learn how to care for their curls, and not have to suffer anymore. Thank you so much, Mell!

I am SO grateful for your channel! I have gotten my hair done ONCE in my entire life it was after I got married. I have always been hesitant because I have 3b hair and am mixed and I have yet to come across a stylist in my area that specializes with my type hair. Unfortunately when I got my hair done I assumed they would leave it natural I didn’t ask them to style just went for a wash and trim. The stylist straightened my hair and it kind of was a downer . Now I am happy I can figure out how to just do it all in my own thanks to you!

Thank you for this video! I'm currently sporting a very short cut that I'm now growing out. I discovered during my pregnancy (my daughter is now 17, it's been a bit) that my hair wasn't straight but wavy to curly. I had spent years brushing it straight and drying it straight so I just didn't know my hair actually had some texture to it. I've decided to grow it back out and try to see just what my texture is for the first time. My hair has grown a bit since this profile pic was taken and I'm getting a bit of curl starting at the nape of my neck. I have on occasion in recent years seen that my hair will actually develop some ringlets. This will be an interesting journey. Thank you so much for your videos because honestly, more "curly girl method" videos are intimidating as hell.

I’ve recently been using my Tangle Teezer Detangling brush for both detangling and styling. And when I want a super defined wash and go, I’ve been using the black and pink Tangle Teezer Utilmate Teezer. It’s like a teasing comb, but it’s the perfect width for the perfect sized section. And it’s really helped me learn that I use bigger sloppier sections when I “freehand part.”

I would try just adding some water to the top part, which is what I usually have to do since the top of my head gets too dry really quickly! (Like Mell said in another vid, you should be able to hear the squish) Water and making sure to brush it all the way from the root should help 👍

Great video Mel! I went on a detangling brush mission a few months ago when I saw you using the Wet Brush Epic Quick Dry in an earlier video. I had been using a wide tooth comb for years, but as you stated it takes forever to detangle. I tried the WB Quick Dry, Felicia Leatherwood, Tangle Teezer, some other Wet Brushes, but finally settled on the Wet Brush Go Green Detangler. It works so well with my hair I love it. My hair was super tangled the other night, and this brush went through those knots like a hot knife through butter! Thank you for all your videos and educating the curly hair community. It is greatly appreciated! 😊

"most sections should be the width of your curl" my hair can't decide on the width of its curl!! it can't even decide on its curl!# seriously, i have a section less than a quarter of the width of my little finger right next to a section the width of my middle finger what the f- and then the waves! right next to my left ear! right under a bunch of really nice tight curls! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME i also have a question about the shampoo brush - does anyone else have an issue using it? i put it on my head and literally can't move it anywhere
