Combing wet hair

Combing wet hair

I was reading a few messages down that some people actualy comb their hair when it's wet. Try to avoid it if possible, it's got a whole scientific reason to it, but there is a certain "binding" (if my term is right) that is broken when hair is wet and that makes wet hair more weak than dryer hair. Wet hair can be easily manipulated to change shape, that is why hair is allways wet when it gets styled, like putting curlers in to give straight hair curls or to blowdry hair in a certain style. The best time to comb your hair is a while after it has been washed or has been wet, when the hair is dry, but has a littlebit of moisture in it.

You obviously don't have very curly hair. Brush it when dry and it's afro-city!
Here's an example of my hair let to dry and not brushed.

  And this is what happens when you brush it.

    See why I brush wet now? You may be right but for some of us it is unavoidable :(

    Nice pict! Now I'll know how to get curly hair! By the way, I thought that brushing straightens dry hair! How does it curl up after brushing?

    Having curly hair myself, I'm totally with you on that one. I'm not quite to your length yet, but I'm actually curious as to how I'd look with an afro. Hmm, the 6'3" white guy with an afro. I shouldn't stand out too much.

Yea, I understand what you mean, that is a problem, but it's adviseable not to comb very wet hair.
