I don’t know why, i just hate brushing my hair. i delay it and then it gets tangled and then i star breaking it while brushing it roughly. I hate it because its so time-consuming. what do i do? 
Re: I HATE BRUSHING MY HAIR!!
i've never heard anyone say brushing their hair is time consuming. and not sure why you brush it roughly??
you need to care for it so it doesn't get so tangled in the first place. use conditioner on the lengths when you wash. also, when you wash, don't pile it on your head like they do in the adverts - keep it straight, wash the scalp/top alone and then gently shampoo the length with downwards motion. smooth conditioner through the length and gently rinse out. avoid using hot water to wash your hair.
use the towel to pat dry the hair like they do in the salon, no rubbing or anything that will cause tangling. let it air dry a bit and then comb with a large, wide tooth comb.
before you sleep, brush and do a loose plait.
i can't remember the last time i had a tangle, probably in my teens and i don't even plait my hair when i sleep ...

I do all that, except I use hot water, I just feel all the product washes away better when you use hot water...

Doesn't a plait make it harder to brush in the morning cz it gets all twisty and tangley... I'll have to give it a try

Wow! then you must be gifted with lovely smooth hair that doesn't tangle. my hair is wavy, with semi-smooth texture... b.t.w what conditioner do you use?
Isn't there something that could make the brushing part easier... is it better to use a brush or a comb, to break as less hair as possible?
Re: I HATE BRUSHING MY HAIR!!
no matter who says what .... i brush .. sorry .. comb my hair immediately after washing it when it's still wet. i section my hair and start combing from the ends gently upwards. NO TANGLES AT ALL.
Re: I HATE BRUSHING MY HAIR!!
You can use warm water, as long as you rinse thoroughly, the product should wash away. Try not to use a shampoo that's drying.
The plait shouldn't get twisted, as your hair strands will rub against each other more if open.
I don't know why my hair doesn't tangle. I don't have straight hair, it's wavy with a bit of frizz. It used to be very long in my teens and then I had it cut really short. I thought I'd have the same problem again when it would grow but it's longish again and no tangles. I really think washing and drying technique has a lot to do with it. I always brush before I wash, so that I don't go into the shower with already tangled hair. Then, just be gentle with it.
I don't even always use conditioner. When I do, it's either Aussie or Aveda dry remedy.

Hey farrah, you have pretty curly hair don't you? I think everyone with your kind of hair sorts it out when it's wet, otherwise it just becomes unmanageable?

it's quite a mix ... some parts are curly, some wavy and some straight .. i can run fingers through my hair even when it's completely dried ... but i agree with you that washing hair gently and not bundling on top .. plus towel drying it by only patting is also very necessary ... i do all this and it's very important and helpful. sometimes i dont use a conditioner, and even then it's fine ...
so being gentle is the key. the more rough we are with our hair, the more aggressive it is with us in return!
Re: I HATE BRUSHING MY HAIR!!
Try using a detangling spray and start by combing from the bottom of ur hair working ur way up to the roots. Also invest in a good hair brush
Re: I HATE BRUSHING MY HAIR!!
I'm not sure how many hair rules I'm breaking here, but I never brush my hair outside the shower. My hair is long, extremely thick, curly, and wavy. So conditioning is a must in every shower. After the conditioner has been in my hair for about 10 minutes, I brush it, than wash it out.
That’s about it. Since my hair will never be fully tangle-free, due to the type of hair, I don’t bother brushing it outside the shower. It’s only going to break and become an afro.

I WANT TO SEE YOUR HAIR :D
Re: I HATE BRUSHING MY HAIR!!
That’s pretty much like you’re describing my hair, except mine curls only at the bottom. I have very long hair, it covers my hips so it’s really hard to keep a uniform length that’s why i hate it when I break it. Though I don’t leave the conditioner on for so long, hardly 3 to 4 minutes. I am just afraid of all the chemicals.
Re: I HATE BRUSHING MY HAIR!!
I have invested in a detangler spray as well as anti-frizz conditioner just now. :DHopefully it'll make things easier. I didn't find aussie or aveda here :( so i just got john frieda...
Re: I HATE BRUSHING MY HAIR!!
i had healthy long hairs .. but all of a sudden my hair has started to fall so much ...
i used to use straighters alot and now i wish i haad never touched them :(
have tried all oils , hair masks , eggs , curds etc etc but seems like they are of no use
what should i do to make my hair healthy again siigh
Re: I HATE BRUSHING MY HAIR!!
u know this might sound icky... but you need to leave your natural oils in your hair for a while... i wash my hair every 3rd or 4th day. And don't use too many chemicals. Use mild shampoos. And leaving the straighteners and other heat equipment is a good thing at least for a while. Have you tried extra-virgin olive oil... try that. And there is this other one but it burns the scalp a little...

It could be worse, you could have said I hate brushing my teeth and then we'd have bigger issues. :p
Try a shampoo that detangles hair. After oiling my hair..and keeping it on for about an hour or two, I wash it with a herbal hair powder that contains shikakai and reetha, etc. And it's awesome cuz it removes the tangles from your hair, so that it's easier to brush it...and doesn't take much time.
Re: I HATE BRUSHING MY HAIR!!
I have curly hair...:(
I ONLY comb my hair (that too with my fingers) when I have just gotten out of the shower. Otherwise, there is no point because its curly and I cant even get my hands through when its dry. This is why I love straightening my hair...because I feel like Im not a walking jungle.
Anyway, in my experience curly hair is dry by default. It needs moisture. So, I use oils to keep it moisturized (moroccan is really nice for tangle-prone hair). I use moisturizing conditioners and like stoppit already suggested...I dont lather like they do in the commercials. When Im in the shower, I detangle using my conditioner and leave it down. When Im out of the shower, I finger through it again, put some anti-frizz mousse in and leave it alone. I dont remember the last time I used a real comb...not even a shower comb. I brush only when I straighten my hair.
Re: I HATE BRUSHING MY HAIR!!
You straighten your hair every time before brushing! 
Doesn’t that damage it…
Re: I HATE BRUSHING MY HAIR!!
Plz gimmi the name of that herbal hair powder? 
PS: I love brushing my teeth
