Curly hair is extremely fragile. A gentle touch is required to avoid unnecessary breakage and hair loss. Therefore, always use a wide tooth comb, pick, or curl detangler when combing the hair. Avoid fine tooth combs as they snag and pull out curly/kinky hair. Invest in a quality brush; natural boar brushes are the best.

For detangling hair and for comb outs try - Super Rake Detangler Comb or Curl Detangler - Hand Held Pick.
