Naturals, Can you do me a favor?

[cieramichele]

Well, I just need a couple of volunteers.

If you get bored, can you try this and let me know how you like it? I think this would help define curls. Its really simple too.

Tools:
Leave in
Two wide tooth combs that are the same
(i think the teeth separation width may vary with the size of curl)

Directions:
Section off your hair as wide as the comb is. This section needs to be fairly thin but not too thin. Smooth on the leave it from root to tip. (Now this part can get tricky). Take one comb and place it at the root..let the hair hang off the comb (this comb is pointing upward). Take the other comb and put it right in front of the first comb (this comb is pointed downward). At the same time, use both combs to comb from root to tip. These combs should leave just enough space for your hair to glide through yet close enough to smooth.

I hope this isnt too much to ask. Try it on your next wash. I just want to know if it helps define curls. Please report back with your results. TIA.

Interesting..... I think I see where you are going with that...... I don't have two identical combs, otherwise I would try that out.... I might have to keep an eye on this thread...

Not sure I get this part at all. Could you do a demo? Or find one online that simulates this? Still pics or a vid would really be helpful. TIA

This is the best I can do for now.

This is a really good idea I wish I had identical combs I would try it right now.

 

[cieramichele]

Ive been thinking about this for so long.

I hope this works and I hope I help others.

not sure which one you are in your avatar but er uh, you (both) have pretty skin.

 

[cieramichele]

[ajoyfuljoy]

i wish i was natural so i could try this. can't wait for someone to let you know how it goes!

 

[ladylibra]

thanks lady!

 

[morehairplease]

I don't have two identical combs or I would try this. I may be going to the bss this weekend and if so I will pick up 2 combs and try this out.

Too funny!!!
I have 2 identical combs. I will try this method (interesting) on a section and report back (till friday).

 

[lsw29]

Wow, this sounds very interesting. I really need a visual to try this out.

 

[BrockStar]

Hmmm I'll do it today or tomorrow

 

[cieramichele]

Wow, this sounds very interesting. I really need a visual to try this out.

I'll try a video some time.

 

[naturalgurl]

Hmmmmmmm....sounds like a bright idea to me. Now off to buy an identical comb to the one I have. Was this a trick thread to persuade me to buy something else for my hair???

yes... PJism runs rampant on this board! we're always encouraging each other to buy more stuff

 

[cieramichele]

lol sorry!

Gotcha! Thank you for taking the time to clarify. What an intriguing assignment. I'll have to bookmark this to return to it when I'm out of braids.

 

[CenteredGirl]

That's innovative and can understand the benefits Ciera. Will try this weekend! Thanks!

 

[Crown]

Did nothing for my hair!
With my texture and my length, I need braids and/or rollerset to airdry. And a brush (like Denman) wakes up my coils.
Maybe this method (2 combs for smoothing) could work for types 3.

 

[JustKiya]

Did anyone besides Crown try this?

 

[CenteredGirl]

Me. No work for my 4ab hair. I did spin off this and this worked.

One large tooth comb/leave in
PUll one section taught. Hold ends out
Place comb at root and comb until it stops
Place hands where it stop, keeping hair taught
Gently push comb agaings fist until you get to the end.

Smooth as silk.

i was JUST thinking about this today. wow.
