How to manage curly hair

Curly hair behaves best when it is given the treatment it needs. Curly hair tends to be thicker and drier than straight hair. Using products designed for straight hair can make curls dry and frizzy.

To Comb or Not To Comb 

Some people say curly hair should never be combed. What is your opinion?

Should you comb your curly hair?

No

No you don't need to comb, you can get popular hair styles without combing your hair at Popula Hair Styles.

I can't, my hair gets pulled out.

Yes

Ekkekko says:

It's definitely a good idea to comb your curly hair to remove tangles. I'm mixed (my mom is from India and my dad is from Madagascar), so my hair is super curly, but very long (23 inches). From my own experience, I always shampoo first, put conditioner in my hair, then I pull it up off my neck and continue my shower. Once I'm done doing everything I need to do other than to rinse the conditioner out before hoppin' out the shower, I let my conditioning hair back down (by this point, it's been about 2~4 minutes since I put conditioner first on), run a wide tooth comb through it (I have no breakage whatsoever, it untangles easily, and it's easy to manage). Once I have all the knots combed out, I part it how I'll want it styled for that day, then rinse the conditioner out. Then, hop out the shower, dry off, get dressed, towel dry hair, then put gel/mousse/leave-in conditioner (depending on the day, I'll use something different) and GO!

Hope this helps!

If you comb it while in the shower while you have a conditioner in your hair, it doesn't get pulled out as much.
