After I wash my hair, I get a BIG brush with little balls on the bristles and begin detangling.
Start at the ends, and work my way up.
It is a process.
I'll agree, it is a process but the best thing you can do for your hair is to use a pic and not a brush. The hair is weakest when it is wet. Curly hair breaks easily because the areas of the hair strand that are curly are its weakest points. Hair is made up of end bonds which are made up from disulfide bonds. The hydrogen bonds are easily broken by water. When you take a brush through your hair, you can cause more damage or breakage.
If I may make a suggestion; if you can use coconut oil or a daily moisturizing lotion made for hair, that would be the best thing. I have to assume that you already know this though
Design essentials makes something called Curl stretching cream. You can find it at any salon that sells Design Essentials Naturals. What it does is it gently stretches the curls and makes them loose. When dry, you lose the frizz. It's a great product for natural hairstyling. Even better if you have tight coils but you want a softer look without a lot of product.
Also, have you ever wrapped your hair at night?
