How often to Brush?

[CarpeDM]

It really depends on if I have it down. If I wear it down I have to constantly brush it every 1/2 hour it tangles so quickly, but normally I keep it contained in braids so once a day in that case...

I only brush twice a day. I have my hair up most of the time anyway, so I just brush once in the morning and once before bed

I comb my hair many times a day. I think my hair just looks so much better when it's brushed...

Usually twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, but more often when I wear it down. When I braid it I brush it once in the morning.

once a day after washing combed first then gently brushed

I stopped brushing my hair for a long time, using only a wide tooth comb, but I recently got a brush with wooden bristles, and now I love brushing it! I voted twice a day, i usually do it in the morning before putting my hair up and in the evening after taking it down.

Too many to count when it's worn down...especially if I'm wearing a cotton shirt. >_<

hmm once every 2-3 days? its not an option in the poll :P

I never brush. I comb my hair once a week with a wide tooth comb. I use my fingers any other time it might need detangling.

When you brush your hair when it's wet it causes more breakage then when its dry. Hair is much more vulenrable when it's wet.

Yes, but she says she uses a comb. Wet detangling is fine - in fact, some of use curlies cannot touch our hair with anything detangly unless we have wet hair with conditioner in it for slip.

Though of course one has to be careful, more careful than with dry hair. I would suggest that the LHCer who wet combs because she can't dry comb has damaged hair and lots of the "velcro ends" phenomenon, so it would make sense if she needs water/conditioner to be able to detangle of her hair.

I finger detangle with conditioner in my hair, and otherwise brush twice a day - once to go from sleep braid to updo, and again in the opposite direction. Sometimes I will replace one of these with a finger detangle if my hair has, e.g., been up the whole day and not switched styles.

I use a Tangle Teezer.
