Yep, I still use a boar bristle brush to smooth down those frizzies.

I use a nylon paddle brush a couple times a week.

I haven't used a brush in quite awhile because I was afraid it would damage my hair even more. Every brush I had always pulled out large amounts of hair.
What kind of brush do you all recommend(sp?) for dry hair?

lol.....i don't use a brush. these days, i don't even use a comb. Creme of Nature, my fingers, and the shower do all the detangling for me. then again, i do wear a texturized style, so the more defined my texture is, the better. but even when i wear my hair straight, i just finger-comb. best thing i could've done!

I brushed this morning.
I was going to spend major bucks on a Mason Pearson boar bristle brush, but I ended up getting the $8 Denman D3 and it works pretty well, even on dry hair.
This morning I parted my hair in several sections and brushed from the scalp outward. I didn't lose much hair, maybe-five to ten strands. I didn't use the brush on my ends because they are my old natural hair and not as strong as my new natural hair. When I got to the last inch or two I rubbed in an oil concotion and then combed out the ends.
Using the brush for me is great because my scalp feels so good afterwards. I sometimes use the brush when putting my damp hair in a ponytail.
Unless your hair is weak, I don't think we have to be afraid of the brush, but we do have to section our hair and use firm, but gentle strokes.

Vitality,
If your hair is still wet and moisturized, you can use a "seamless" comb and comb it back into the style you want. Then go over that with a fine tooth comb - you don't need to have the fine tooth comb go throughout your entire length...just through the scalp section. Then, smooth with your hands - apply gel if you want. Put on a scarf for as long as you need (some do 15 minutes - I do 2 hours). Then, you should have smooth hair.
See my album - I have it a little more detailed in the "other stuff" section.
