You shouldn't brush curly hair anyway, it destroys the curls and makes your hair frizz. Try using a broad comb in the shower, to apply the conditioner(one that moisturizes a lot), and oil on your wet hair(really massage the oil in). Maybe more structure, and more wheight will keep them bound to gravity.
Drying them without a hairdryer also helps keep the curly structure(towel wrap and time, but close to head should mybe be dried with hot air, cause your skin doesn't like staying moist for a long time)
Great tip: Go to a good hairdresser(those are sadly often hard to find, it's like with car mechanics) and ask them questions about how to care for your hair(Ideally while getting styled, because it's a nice affirming experience).
The curly spirally hairties are better for your hair btw.
I got taught by my current hairdresser, back when I was still an egg, but only after previous hairdressers gave me useless advice.
slightly OT as my hair isn't curly but how do you do this? (drying the scalp without drying all/most of the hair). I've always felt like I couldn't get anything dry without spending a loooong time with the hair dryer and basically drying most or all of my hair. I know for a fact this is making my dandruff worse but I don't know how to deal with it short of always blow drying my hair or cutting it short (not likely)
Honestly I am also struggling with that, my hairdresser showed and demonstrated me a diffuser attachment to a hairdryer(some broad head) that sllows one to to use it without destroying the curls. You press that on your head without too much heat. I don't have that so I don't have any practice, and my explanation is from memory, but it worked on me in the hair salon, and she said you can get them for cheap.
oh is that what those are for? dang okay. Might have to try it
It's still a different result from air drying, but much better than without.
