Wet Combing
Wet combing your hair is best when you get out of the shower and your hair is very wet. Brush bristles don’t separate the strands as well as a comb does. Invest in a good wide-tooth comb, especially if you have curly or wavy hair. A wide-tooth comb can help detangle and separate the hair so you can style your tresses more easily. It is recommended that you comb wet hair from the ends up, detangling slowly as you go. Avoid harsh or rough handling, pulling or dragging of the comb through your hair/knots. A tip when dealing with tangles is to actually hold the hair firmly above the tangle or knot and work the comb through it from the bottom up. This takes the stress off the scalp and protects against breakage.
Dry Combing
Dry combing your hair is a good way to get out solitary knots and tangles before you attempt to brush and a finer toothed comb is usually the comb of choice. Grasp a section of hair in your hand, and use your fingers to swiftly run through the bottom 3 or 4 inches. It will release tangles, smooth the cuticles and separate the hair for better body.
