I've been straightening my hair since late last year, but I want to wear my hair natural for the next month or two because flat-ironing is very time consuming (and April = rain).
My issue is that I don't know what type of brush to use. Daily manipulation and using a hard bristle brush caused a-lot of split ends for me when I was wearing it in a natural bun. However, just combing it won't give me a smooth look and a boar bristle brush isn't enough to give me a smooth look either.
This morning I rinsed out my henna, dc'd and used a comb first, but had to follow up with my denman to get a nicer look. There were at least 15-20 broken hairs in the brush after I got it in the ponytail holder, so I know this is not something I can do everyday, but I really want to take a break from flat-ironing.
A comb and a boar bristle brush aren't enough for my 4a hair. Please let me know what brushes properly smooth your hair, but don't cause a ton of breakage. TIA.
