I've heard brushing or combing your hair while wet is a big no-no but when you have curly hair and brush it dry it tends to turn into a big frizz ball instead of natural looking ringlets and curls.

The only way I've figured out how to deal with this dilemma is by brushing my hair in the shower while conditioner is it. The comb glides through my hair and when dried naturally I get all curl instead of frizz.

Unfortunately my drain is getting clogged constantly now... Does anyone know of a better way to brush/comb curly hair?

There really is no way to stop the shedding all together, but there is ways to lessen the amount. What I do for my curly hair is brush it in the shower while there is conditioner in it. However instead of using a brush, I usually use my fingers, spreading them wide. This way, my hair is still getting untangled, but I'm keep less hair in my drain. Also with using your fingers, you can be extra gentle. Besides brushing your hair while it's wet is very risky because wet hair is very fragile therefor when you brush it, it snaps easily leading to fizz, etc. You can always use an extremely wide comb, but it's hard to find one wide enough, but if you do, you are good to go. Curly hair is so hard to manage, but when done, it's gorgeous as we know! Good luck!!!

You can always try wetting your brush before brushing your hair. Or while your hair is wet; blow dry it while brushing it and it'll give your hair a natural curly wave. It also helps if you buy the right shampoo and conditioner, try a type of shampoo and conditioner that has no perfume in it, that might also help <3

Oh no! Don't. It breaks it off. Instead, get a wide toothed COMB and comb through it while wet. Then mosturize a lot.
