    I know that long time ago there was a 2c/3a thread. I think we need it, we don't fit anywhere!

    I don't comb on the first day after washing if I want defined wurls, but I do on later days when my waves are more relaxed. Combing turns them into ripples instead of clumps, but I like both looks.

    It's been combed in this pic, not in my avatar.

    I never ever ever brush my hair, if I do I instantly flash back to cher circa 1983. I poof and frizz like crazy. I use a baby brush to sleek back hairs when pulling back but other than that I never brush, ever. I comb with a wooden comb or a very wide tooth one when wet, apply whatever products I am using to set the curl, then scrunch/twirl a little to bring back the waves and thats pretty much it. The more I play with it the more frizz I get. I don't know if I answered your question or not but thats my general routine.

    Woohoo finally a curly/wavy thread I belong in!!

    I was going to start a new thread with this question, but since there is a wavy thread I'll post it here.

    I use a wide-toothed comb when wet and perhaps once when it's dry. I mostly finger-comb.

    The Wurly/curly thread was meant more as a 2c/3a thread actually. I started it and just left out the 2c/3a part. That's what we called ourselves on the first thread (Wurly/curly) so I just used that.

    To me if your hair NEVER is straightish without blow-drying or flat-ironing or manipulating it somehow, you are not a wavy but a wurly/curly. But maybe that's just me. I don't want everyone to leave the other thread.

    Thanks for the replies. I guess my hair is not a typical wavy either. I wonder what the difference is - maybe I'm not as wavy, although roseate's looks good combed too, and she's much wavier than me...

    This is my hair on Day 2 after I've combed it and brushed it - it loses a lot of the wave, but it's not really frizzy or poofy either.

    Here it is after being freshly washed and styled at a salon (the stylist scrunched it to death).

    Really? I didn't know that! It makes sense now, why wurly curly instead of "the wavy/curly thread". The thing is, real curlies mostly participate in it (), I feel like the discussion is partly irrelevant for my hair (as some wavies here felt), but I suppose what will be discussed in here wouldn't be that much more of a use either - like brush/combing dry? A big no-no for me (us?).
    Don't worry, your thread won't be left to die! For that metter, I'll take my 2c/3a wurly curly business to there, capiche?

    Me Me! I get ringlets in the front and then the rest is just wavy and when it's really short the back just looks straight.
    can you get all the jessicurl and whatnot products in the UK or do we do any alternatives? Anyone??

    I do! (brush/comb my hair). The way I think about it is that at shoulder length, I don't have enough curl in my hair for the totally-separated-into-clumps look to be cool. To me, my hair just looks kind of stringy and like I forgot to brush it. Maybe if I had more length I would change my opinion. Anyway, if I am successful with a CG product application AND comb it with a wide-tooth comb after it's dry, it will be wavier than normal but still "coiffed." I'm more comfortable with that.

    Rohele, in your two photos you posted, mine would fall right in between your brushed result and your hairdresser-scrunched result. (when I use a wide-tooth comb after the CG routine, on dry hair)
