less manipulation?
I wear my hair in a ponytail, basically all the time. I take it down each night though and I comb through it and/or oil my ends. Is combing through it each night too much manipulation? And what is a seamless comb?

butterfly, do you wear the ponytail loose or in a bun? if a bun, if it's combed when you put it into the bun, there's really no need to comb it to oil your ends. i wear mine in a bun, and don't comb it until it's time to wash. that has worked really well at decreasing breakage.
a seamless comb is just that, one that has no seams. if you look closely at your comb, you see ridges that go all the way around and in between the teeth. they're caused by the manufacturing process. the ones between the teeth can and do snag the hair and cause breakage. seamless combs aren't made the same way. so there are no seams. i have a few of them. they're more expensive but worth every penny. here is a site that sells them: Hair Sense. don't be fooled by the imitations that you may see in the beauty supply. those are usually the same color and sell for like 99¢. they're crap though!!

Hi ladies, my routine is vitamin supplements, washing 1-3x a week, moisturizing with wildgrowth oil, brushing daily (I'm training my hair to grow in straight) and just keeping it simple and not putting too much emphasis on it right now. Thanks to the ladies of this board I have learned alot. So ladies Thanks and keep up the good advice.

I've never heard of "training hair to grow straight"...how do you do that and where did you hear you could do this?

Thanks Adrienne. I wear the ponytail straight, but you're right. There really isn't any reason to comb through it to oil the ends.

Also you could buy the 99 cent comb and file the seams down and coat with clear polish. I read that somewhere. My wide-tooth comb (99 cents) is 7 years old so the seams have eroded over time.

Hi Tebby1017, I'm not sure about the type of hair that I have. When I had long hair it is somewhat curly but mostly straight. I relaxed only to thin my hair because my hair was extremely thick and long. I couldn't do anything with it but wear a ponytail. My hair is cut really really short right now and instead of waving up it's straighter now that I manipulate it by brushing it straight. My son's hair is extremely curly and thick. I took him to the barber and the barber even told me you can "train" your hair when it's short like that with a brush. When my hair grows back long I don't want the chemicals. I'm staying away from them. All heads of hair is different. I only know what works on me and my family's hair and I just exchange some friendly advice on what I know works for me.

I agree that brushing can straighten out some hair. I know it knocks the curls out of mine. the most that is left is loose waves. If I brush it after washing out the conditioner, I can put it in a pony or twisted bun and it sure beats blowdrying or flat ironing because my hair is baby fine and I do what is safest for my hair.
