[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First of all never brush curly hair. Only use a comb from now on. A tiny bit of coconut oil will do workers to help de tangle.

Uh, what? Please brush curly hair. Just start at ends and work your way thru any tangles. How are you supposed to get edges down or smooth a ponytail without a brush?[/quote]

A brush destroys curly hair. I have s daughter with curly hair who constantly gets compliments on her beautiful hair. We comb it with a comb everyday. If it’s  tangled, a tiny amount of coconut oil makes it look lush and helps reactivate the curls. Sometimes I even add a little water if the curls are really frizzy but it’s rare that I need to do that.

After the hair is combed, you can help shape the curls with your fingers but that’s all! It is downright cruel to use a brush on curly hair - don’t do it! You’re basically creating tangles and split ends - ouch! [/quote]

I'd quibble with this--if you brush with a bores hair brush, you don't create tangles.  Something about the bores hair redistributes oil.  Now, this doesn't work on all curly hair, and it creates more of a brushed out wave look than tight curls.  But sometimes brushing can work for some hair.  [/quote]
