I'd rather brush my hair cause I feel it gets the knots out better. Since combing tends to Increase the knots and tangles<br /><br />My hair is usually dry(i've accepted it and I'm not wasting any more money on it) so whatever I do it won't work so I've decideded to leave the hair alone and let it do it's own thing <br /><br />but for me brushing while wet wasn't too bad it actually removes hair that needed to be shed as opposed to using a comb Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-61931303082554703542012-07-27T21:07:28.272+01:002012-07-27T21:07:28.272+01:00I've read that wet hair is more elastic, there...I've read that wet hair is more elastic, therefore more prone to being pulled and broken if manipulated too much (like in combing or brushing). What's the science behind that?<br /><br />Personally, I get a lot less shed hairs if I limit detangling, combing, or brushing to when my hair is wet and covered in conditioner. I get significant shed hairs if I comb wet with no product, or dry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-92047669340152486382010-01-22T03:44:10.994+00:002010-01-22T03:44:10.994+00:00Friction causes stress which equals breakage.

Glad to know that's normal. It's also great knowing I can wet comb as many times as I want without fear. Thanks! Can't wait until Friday! <br /><br />I love this blog.<br /><br />It's the only blog that gets to the science of afro-textured hair.Yoshi3329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-83575625730015200352010-01-18T23:10:52.316+00:002010-01-18T23:10:52.316+00:00@Anon - the Friday part is a teaser :) but the re...@Anon - the Friday part is a teaser :) but the rest of the post is not at all. Yes combing does cause damage but there are ways to lessen it. Ariel may have got one of the ways - some shampoos are better than others. There are other ways too, I'll discuss on Friday.Jchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983132094574128087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-23980214737113553322010-01-18T21:45:35.971+00:002010-01-18T21:45:35.971+00:00Is this a tease??Is this a tease??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-91647566218961340592010-01-18T20:41:40.907+00:002010-01-18T20:41:40.907+00:00I do most of my tangle control by finger-combing m...I do most of my tangle control by finger-combing my hair really well as I'm washing it. I feel like there's less resistance (the shampoo is slippery) and I would be getting it wet anyway, so there's no extra damage from that. I've heard lots of people say wet combing is a lot worse for hair than dry combing, so I've wondered if I should brush it out really well before washing. I'm wondering if the increase in long segment breakage is super significant? I'm trying to grow my hair out to waist length so that worries me a little. I'm looking forward to your Friday post!arielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07672510937140894712noreply@blogger.com
