Does anyone with a relaxer brush their hair?

[Roselyn]

You know, I heard that brushing your hair breaks it off and/or causes balding. I don't know yet if it's true for all, but I do know that I was balding on one of my edges last mouth, and since I stopped brushing, it's come back, full and healthy!

Maybe it's just me,

but does anyone have a success story of the brush and has relaxed hair? I don't think it's much damaging to those with natrual hair.

No, I don't brush.

I just comb with a wide tooth comb on twice each week on wash days.

I never brush.I just use a wide tooth comb when I wash my hair and sometimes not even then

 

[LABETT]

I do brush my hair occasionally with no problems when I wrap my hair or comb out a rollerset.

i make my husband brush it maybe within the first couple of weeks after i touchup but only because i like the way it feels on my scalp. it feels so relaxing and good and stuff....okay this is a HAIR thread jainy

 

[nekee]

when I was natural I used a boar bristle brush on my hair , not only on edges but right through. I did this when I was applying oil to the ends

 

[candibaby]

i brush with a boar bristle brush.

I brush my top lightly with a boar bristle brush sometimes and I got a Denman D3 recently so I may use that more.

Nekee your hair is beautiful and I love the colour!

I only use a hair brush when i want a very smooth ponytail and that's once a month at the most. I'm embarrassed to say, but I use a soft toothbrush to smooth out my edges when they need some special attention. It works great!

 

[Karonica]

I brush.

I don't think twice about it, if I need to brush, I'll do it.

 

[Dolce_Dawn]

I'm a no brusher.

 

[jrw]

I brush my hair with a porcupine brush.

I think a boar bristle brush is damaging to my hair. Every now and then I use a paddle brush (they say this is better for long hair) and I like the way my scalp feels after. I am obessed though, I am always looking to see how much if any hair is in the brush when I'm done. Thank God I haven't had any.

I like to use a paddle brush when I have a fresh relaxer to give it that smooth look and a boar bristle brush on my edges when the new growth shows up and gets unruly.

Ditto.

I use paddle and vent brushes and have no problems with them. Hardly any hairs collect in the brushes.

 

[teenie]

I brush when I straighten it or wear it in a tight ponytail/bun

 

[jasmine]

yep. me too

i've decided not to continue brushing my hair daily with the paddle brush. i am learning how not to use it to wrap my hair also. it was ok to use whne i had the fresh doobis and perm but after i washed it it has been snapping my ends, no matter how careful i am.
now i just use a comb and a boar's hair brush to wrap and style.

I try not to brush that often, only when I wrap my hair. But I don't think too much about it.

 

[Poohbear]

sometimes but not through my whole hair shaft, mainly the edges for smoothing into a ponytail or something

 

[Ayeshia]

I never brushed my relaxed hair

 

[northernbelle]

I brush when I wrap set my hair. I seem to have no problem.

I use either a Denman or a Mason Pearson brush.

[Haleni]

I brush only my edges. A stylist told me years ago, brushing is not necessary, only just to smooth every now and then.

 

[Neroli]

Never brushed, even before coming to this board. Just always seemed like "unnecessary roughness" . . .

 

[Dutchess]

No, I don't brush or even own a brush.
