Well ladies, I did it, I tried the hair brush and believe it or not, I did not loose any hair and the curls/coils in my hair clumped together very nicely (maybe due to my combing out my hair prior to washing). After brushing each section, I proceeded to rinse out the conditioner; followed by the cold water rinse. When I stepped out of the shower to take a look, I was quite pleased with the results. My hair had a very uniformed looked. The curls and coils looked great, even without any products.

See now...why did you have to go and tell me this???
You know I am going to have to try this now....especially since I think you and I have simialar hair texture (3c-4a) <font color="red"> Yes, I am a 3c/4a.</font>
But just one more question before I run out and try this; You combed through your hair (covered with conditioner) with a comb first....right? <font color="red"> No. I always comb through my hair prior to washing it with a very wide tooth comb. </font>
Then you used the brush right? <font color="red"> I did the no-poo method for the first time and I used Pantene Hydrating Curls (my all time favorite conditioner, but I haven't tried Elucence (sp?) yet) to wash my hair. After applying the conditioner, I brushed through 4 - 6 different sections one at a time. Let me tell you that my results of this no poo method was extrememly soft hair. I plan to continue with this for a while and see how my hair likes a couple more no-poos. </font>
Then rinsed the conditioner out? <font color="red"> Yes. I tilted my head backwards and used the warm water, followed by the cold rinse, to remove most of the conditioner. As the water hit my hair I used my hands (palms and finger combing) to gently remove the conditioner while keeping the hair uniform.</font>
Just want to make sure I don't rip my hair out of my head or have a brush tangled up with hair. The brush that I purchased was from Walmart by Goody and has nine rows bristles. <font color="red"> Try a small section first and proceed with caution. If you obtain the same results that I did...go for what you know. /images/graemlins/wink.gif</font>
Thanks Asha!

<font color="red"> You are welcome. </font>
P.S.
Brush Tips found on the package:
Stiff bristle brushes penetrate wet hair allowing you to detangle and style you hair together. The rubber base allows each row of bristles to work independently of one another.
Use a Goody tufted style brush to smooth your hair after styling. <font color="red"> Well, I used it while my hair is wet with conditioner in it. Don't plan to use it after rinsing out the conditioner at all. </font>
Good Luck! /images/graemlins/grin.gif
