Should I Comb My Waves Before Brushing?

Remember, you always want to brush from the crown and out, using the angles that your wave pattern naturally grows in. Combing will lift your hair up slightly, so brushing is the process that lays your hair down before you compress with your durag and/or wave cap.

When should you comb your waves?

If you notice that you're having trouble either getting or maintaining the wave style, most of the time, this issue comes down to a lack of brushing. You should be brushing three times a day to keep your waves intact.

Should you comb waves against the grain?

A: Combing with the grain will help lift your hairs and properly distribute product in your hair from root to end. Combing against the grain helps lift any tangled hair the human eye can't see. Be careful how you approach combing if your scalp isn't use to it.
