How long to brush or comb?

[Shanarana]

I was wondering how long it takes people to comb or brush their hair. Mostly interested in those with classic. Do you comb wet or dry?

I myself comb my hair very gently after washing while wet....if I let it dry I get so many tangles and more damage than if I comb it wet. It usually takes me about 15 min. to get through it all.

My hair is about 3 inches short of classic... and it takes me about 10-15 minutes to comb it out after a wash (combed wet) and probably 5 or so minutes on a regular day (when hair is dry).

If I've slept with it loose then it takes about 10 minutes to detangle in the morning. I'm a restless sleeper :o. When wet/freshly washed though it is about 3-4 minutes as I detangle before washing and the conditioner makes the comb glide through easily afterwards.

I wait until fully dry nowadays, before I comb. I'm at a bit past classic, and it takes me, at the absolute most, five minutes. I don't get tangles, usually. But I'm CO - I don't use shampoo, unless I'm clarifying which is once a month or less. :)

I comb WHILE I'm washing--CO wash, of course, and it takes a few minutes, maybe two or three tops. Sometimes I do it twice to spread conditioner, but that is all.

I comb when it's dry for the most part and that takes less than 5 minutes. I have combed my hair when it's wet before and when I do that it takes more like 10-15 minutes because I am going slower and making sure to be gentle.

My hair is wavy/curly, so I only comb (with a gentle wide-tooth comb) when I have conditioner in my hair. If I comb dry, it damages my hair and turns me into a big ball of frizz!

I hear ya there...that's why I comb wet, than scrunch.

It takes me at most just a few minutes to comb out, either wet or dry. I brush my hair with a Denman D5 only if I'm putting it up, but I comb it first. I use an MP all BBB to brush at night after detangling with a comb, maybe 6 strokes with the MP per side, then I put my hair behind me and brush down the back of my head a few times. This, obviously only takes a few minutes as well.

Normally about 30 seconds to a minute, after a wash when it is totally dry maybe 2 or 3.

I detangle my hair with my fingers while I'm in the shower and it has conditioner in it. I spend two or three minutes getting out most of the tangles, and then I do a rinse and the rest of them seem to take care of themselves :). After that I don't run anything through my hair until the next shower.

I only comb when wet, brush when dry. Both take me less than a minute, but I'm only APL.

30 seconds to a minute, only on wash days (wet conditioned hair). I just run my fingers down the length, make sure all the hair is going running the same way, then pull out any sheds. My hair doesn't really tangle.

[eternallyverdan]

I"m just past classic and I only comb my hair when it's dry. It takes me almost exactly five minutes, maybe as much as ten if I've been wearing it down all day.

[julya]

It takes me about 30 minutes to comb if it has been up all day, longer if it was in a braid.

Same here. It takes me a couple minutes (2-3?), more if I have an annoying tangle or if I've been swimming that day (which results in many annoying tangles). When I brush my hair (only when soaking, now), it takes maybe five minutes.

[Finoriel]

I´m almost at knee length and it takes me 1 or 2 minutes to comb it. My hair isn´t tangly in general and it does not have much opportunity to tangle anyways since I´m wearing it either braided or in a bun. I comb when I´m switching from nightbraid to day-updo and again in the evening when taking my hair down to braid it for the night.
I never comb it wet. My hair is quite unmanageable when wet and it would take ages to comb and still snag and overstretch a lot of hairs. I handle wet and damp hair as little as possible.

[xgwyllgix]

I only comb my mid-thigh hair dry, or very slightly damp if I have absolutely no other choice. It tends to be very slippery, so I'll spend maybe a minute, tops, combing out the tangles, just using a wood comb. It takes me a little longer when I'm oiling my hair, as I'll go over it again with a brush, but even then it never takes me more than a couple of minutes.

[dukkelisa]

I finger comb when partially dry, I take a lot of time with this, maybe 20 minutes? Obviously I don't wash my hair on a busy day. Each morning I take out my braid and brush it gently, just enough to get my hair ready to braid again. I am at tailbone length and it is getting harder to manage, even something as simple as brushing.
