Could you do a video on naturally curly or wavy styling from a perspective of a professional? I'd be really curious about how salons would incorporate these techniques for clients that would prefer non-heatstyling. Thank you for creating such valuable and informative content. 🎉

[@isapardini]

In the past I used to do Brazilians Blowouts in my wave hair... it's was perfect because my hair got it straight and shiny. However, when I decide to be a little more blonde that my natural hair, I had lots os problems... Brazilians Blowouts and lighten/brighten products don't go well together... So I decide to accept my waves. However, every morning it's a "mission impossible"... if I detangle my hair, it looks as if I been electrocuted... I don't know what to do

[@ladywoodelf]

Yes. I have course wavy and curly combination hair so all these pin straight styles are not possible unless I use damaging heat.

Perhaps I should have mentioned that with my hair already being fine and thin, it really impacted me when I began getting bald patches in my hair due to issues with my health and the medications I was on.

[@imaginefun13]

I wouldn't detangle with a denman! Like you explained with the wet brush, you need flexible bristles when detangling. I recommend only using a denman for styling AFTER detangling. Or you can always scrunch your hair to return the curl after detangling with other brushes. Manes by Mel is a great source for curlies out there!

[@schrodingerskatze4308]

I think you can also help return the curl if you use some water. Usually when I spray my hair with some water before brushing it comes back a little bit all on it's own. It's even better when your hair is really wet from the beginning because you washed it. Whenever I do that, the curl is brushed out, but comes back while it's drying. But I think that also depends on your hair a bit. If you actually have the kind of hair that goes crazy from a few drops of rain, it probably works, otherwise probably not.

[@caleighh6]

I second this, Manes by Mel does great info for curly people!

[@filiaaut]

@@livingkiss Do you detangle your hair when it is dry ? Detangling does break the curls and waves, and water is what brings them back, and then they get fixed in the new position as they dry. I typically only detangle them either in the shower on hair washing days, or, if I brush them dry, I just keep my hair in braids or a bun until the next wash. We don't have the exact brand "wet brush" where I live, but I use a similar design and it works really well for detangling my hair. Putting gel in the wet hair lengths after it has been cleaned and detangled also helped a lot with my hair which was originally very frizzy. There is a lot of advice online on what to do with textured hair, it feels a little overwhelming, some of it is very specific about which products to use and to avoid, that's not really budget friendly. Personally, I found that detangling hair only when it's wet (or just before the wash) and adding rather cheap gel after the wash, directly in the wet hair is what makes the biggest difference.

Everyone who works with hair should be required to watch this. So many times I've gone to get my hair cut and they try to detangle my long hair with a fine tooth comb! They start from the top and don't watch out for the ears and scratch them. I think the reason why so many hairdressers are bad at brushing hair is because their main customers are short haired people since they need haircuts more often. After many tries I've finally found a hairdresser who doesn't detangle long hair with a fine tooth comb or scratch my ears. I'm super loyal to her and don't go to anyone else.

[@marleyhill34]

That's terrible. I have short but super coily kinky curly 4c hair. Detangling with a fine tooth comb is a no-no for my hair type. Also I detangle my hair in 20 sections to make sure I don't miss any parts or scratch my ears or face!

This is the first time I've heard you say anything about naturally curly hair! I would love more advice about how to style natural curls

[@Wendygram]

Your natural oils aren't a bad thing if you're not over producing it. Washing too often increases oil production, which we all know, but if you either naturally produce less, or have naturally dry hair even, brushing through natural oils can help building it up at the roots, and serves as a natural conditioner. Having said that, not everyone can do this, so its good to just know your hair.

[@NormieNeko]

That's only true for some people. The rest of our body doesn't produce any less or more oil even when we wash our hands regularly. You produce what you produce. You will not change your oil production in most cases, so wash as often as necessary. Some people will just end up with nasty oily heads after trying to wash only once per week. Only those of heavy African descent have to worry about over washing. We can't "teach" our scalp to produce less oil. Those of us who exercise every day need regular washes or dry shampooing. It's best to accept whatever we're born with. There's nothing wrong with being extra clean if it's necessary. I personally wash every 3-4 days, but I use dry shampoo almost every day except the day of washing. That's what works for me, and I have long shiny hair.

[@lilyjane1011]

Well I have. For weeks​, I stopped washing my hair every two days. I waited 5 days without washing it, though it was very un comfortable. Now, I have kept the same rhythm and my hair only starts getting oily after five days. No terrible smell either co sequently..

Tried lots of DIY, all-natural treatments and all that jazz which ultimately lead to nothing. I thought I was better off using plain and simple homemade shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, and oils but decided to put my trust in some profession products. Today, after waiting at the door for my packages to come in, I’ve finally accumulated all the primary products you recommend for fine hair-redkens volumizing injection shampoo and condition, purology leave in conditioner, blow out heat protectant, olaplex oil, etc. After following all your instructions to a T, from how to apply the shampoo to how to blow dry, I’m so happy to say that, after a single wash, my hair has never once felt this clean and soft and manageable. It smells amazing and I’m having to force myself not to run my fingers through it constantly. Never been able to do that since my hairs is very long, very fine, and will tangle at the slightest touch. Can’t wait to see how long this lasts. That will be the true test as my hair is typically so oily less than 24 hours after washing it that the US is trying to invade my scalp. My hopes are high, however, and I’ve stocked up on dry shampoo so looking forward to not having to wash my hair every day.

[@biblicallyaccuratecockroach]

Regarding oval vs paddle wet brushes: the oval wet brushes are better for wavy hair, of if you don't want to get rid of ALL the waves, while paddle brushes are better for straight hair, being wider and flatter in the middle will give that little extra tension to help that. I've used both on my mostly-straight hair that I want to encourage to stay straight without heat tools or blow-drying because I'm lazy, and a paddle brush works best for me to achieve that. So if you want to preserve your most natural hair shape (or if you made waves) when detangling go oval, if you want to encourage straighter hair go paddle, that would be me advice 👍 Unless your hair in thicker/coarser, in that case round is probably better for you, less chance of hurting yourself or your hair with the smaller oval, unless unless it's super duper straight and strong, in which case the bigger paddle may be more convenient. Know thyself first ✨

[@kray3883]

Actually I have mixed hair (literally different hairs are either mild wave and fine or thick and curly) that very, very easily tangles and a paddle brush is just much nicer for detangling. The very painful pulling from an oval brush just can't be good.

I have fine, straight hair that I'd like to encourage body and volume without using a hair dryer.

[@AlexaFaie]

I use small oval paddle brushes, always have. The wide flat brushes are just too big for my hair. I've got hip length, super fine straight hair and so the small ones often designed for handbags or kids are what I use. Though I really miss the ones that The Body Shop used to sell which had metal bristles instead of the plastic or bamboo ones I've had to use since. Since my hair is super duper fine, but also seems to like tangling if you stop looking at it (like cables, string or necklace chains just seem to tangle themselves when sat still) and the larger bristles don't get through my hair quite as easily. Not been able to find any sold with the metal bristles since. I would still be using it if the natural rubber of the pad bit hadn't denatured with age.

When I started brushing my own hair, I started at the bottom and worked my way up slowly. If I found a knot, I would hold that section of hair and brush out the knot.

Remove the hairs by hand, put them in a wash bag and throw it in the laundry mashine or wash it by hand. Dry it outside.

This seems to be mostly for straight hair. I use a wet style brush for everything. I have coily frizzy hair. Trust me, it does NOT knock out your curls. I've had to glue the pad of bristles back in. If my hair is dry, I follow up with a boar bristle brush. 3c-4a

These videos are so informative (and pretty fun to watch, too). Even though I'm limited in the kinds of products I can use, for health reasons, at least I can use the correct brushes and brushing methods. Just need to get my sister to do the same, because despite being taught the brush-from-the-bottom-up method as a child, she insists on starting from the top and literally ripping down to the bottom. It is so painful to watch. I'm honestly surprised she has any hair left lol. Anyway, I appreciate these videos!

I have a blow dryer round brush and it’s a GAME CHANGER. It usually cuts my dry time in half and it’s so much smoother and shinier than when I use a normal blow drier. Especially as I’ve shortened my hair.

The advice about brushing out tangles from the bottom has been something my mom has repeated since I was little. It definitely helps! Also, it's funny how you specifically mention wet brushes when I just got a new Wet brush, LOL! I think it's my first one, and on my thick wavy hair it goes through SO nicely! Love it!

You know what would be cool...a hairbrush quiz! One that would recommend the type of hairbrush that I would need based on my hair goals. I have a Wet-type detangler, but I have wavy hair that forms ringlets when I have long layers and I let my hair air dry...and now I'm wondering if a Denman brush would be appropriate for me, and how would I use it?

[@jwlsngold5026]

Great idea, I have S wave hair and ringlets often show up after washing, would live a recommendation on which brush would help keep my curls looking great all day. I now know I'm brushing my hair the wrong way, I usually just grab whatever is closest in my brush drawer, yes I said brush drawer, apparently I have to many?! 😂

[@Saryana0]

If you do go with a Denman brush - if your hair is finer or wavy, you might want to remove some rows from it! The Denman brush is also a styling brush, so it's best you detangle it first before going in with it. Usually for waves, you stick to 4 rows, though some wavies have said that it works with more rows so your experience may be different!

Biggest brush advice I would have is switching to straight pins on any paddle style brush you use. Most paddles on market have those balls on the tips of the pins which are notorious hair- snaggers. A catch here, a catch there, it adds up. Former Rapunzel here who had thigh length hair. And yes always start at bottom 👍🏻

I lashed out a couple of years ago and got myself a Mason Pearson and I don't regret it at all, I have a wet brush and I love it, but the Mason Pearson is just so much better at getting the fluff and crap out of your hair.

@@lisettecampbell2138 Frizz is your hair reaching out for moisture. And is often the nature, of wavy type 2, curly type 3 and coily type 4 hair. Ways to stop frizz: 1. deep condition with a heavy cream mask ( do not put the mask on your roots) weekly for 20-30 minutes and a hot towel. 2. Wrap your hair in a silk or satin scarf every night to stop it drying out and to keep it smooth and by laying the hairs down. 3. Only use a sulfate/clarifying/chelating shampoo every 4-6 weeks. 4. Spray the frizz with the leave-in conditioner 1-3 times daily. 5. Wrap your hair in a scarf away from the sun, wind, cold, air conditioning, pollution, pollen or high outdoor temperatures. Or you could just be like me and embrace the Afro to volumize my fine strands. Lol!

Thanks for naming the denman brush! I had one for close to a decade, the rubber holding the plastic bristles started breaking down and I had no idea this was actually something I could rebuy :D I use it every day, easy to clean, obvs longlasting, etc. No effect for curls but it's not rubber bristles neither. For your famous Mason Person brush, my local supermarket Kruidvat carries a 99% similar one with wood handle, but the 5€ price tag says I don't care about the 1%. Kids love it, they comb the first cm of hair with it and are proud of having combed their hair all alone. I also pretend I don't see the hidden dreadlock forming at the nape until I have time for it. Because untangling a dreadlock on a 7 years old is pure horror show, not for school mornings and not for when I'm tired in the evening. Lots of detangling spray and this brush actually gets it done better than anything other than scissors.

[@TheMaryberry153]

Wow this was great! I'll admit I was one of those people guilty of thinking I was *supposed to* brush all the way to the scalp and redistribute the oil through my hair. The idea of not doing that blows my mind. 😂 Question though, what about after using dry shampoo on my oily scalp? Should I not brush that out either? I know the trick with using your fingertips to distribute it but what about after?

[@aprilzcorner]

I actually completely disagree with him on this. I think that brushing the scalp redistributes the oil more evenly. You have to train your hair to not wash it every day and I think brushing it this way helps a lot.

[@jwlsngold5026]

I use a dry shampoo on non-wash days. I part my hair, spray the section let it set for a second, then from the crown I sort of massage downward toward my face, this way the powder actually gets on my scalp to soak up the oils. I usually only need to do a center part, then one on each side, this may not be correct so I would just experiment to see what you prefer to do.

Everything you’ve said not to do my hair stylist did to my hair which is why I’m on KZbin looking for ways to fix the damage.

So the reason I ended up getting a mason Pearson was cause the wet brush I have was getting annoying to clean-I like the cleaning brush the mason comes with lol

[@internetopinion3043]

I use a silicone lint brush and liquid soap to clean my Wet-type brush (Conair). Get both wet, add soap to the lint brush, scrub the hair brush to dissolve the hair oils, rinse both, then scrub again to scrub any hair and little bits of lint. Best to do it over a sink. It takes two minutes, if you do it frequently. I do it after I have brushed my hair for the last time before a shampoo.

I find your videos informative but as a hair product and hair tool junkie, I have to disagree with the blow dry brush. I bought the Revlon years ago when it came out. It seems like the easy solution and depending on how much hair you have, you might be able to get some volume but it causes a LOT of heat damage which leads to a lot of breakage. Heat protector spray or cream is not a magical solution that will fix everything. The blow dry brush could be great for occasional use but not great for people with fine hair and certainly not for people who blow dry their hair 3-4 times weekly.
