Creating curls with a curling iron or curling tong is one thing. Then brushing out the curls properly without ruining the style is the next challenge. Many people find that their hair becomes frizzy, flat or loses its shape when they brush through it. We often get asked: “How do you brush out curls and waves so they stay beautiful?”

The answer is that it's about the right tools and the right technology.
Here we go over why curls can be damaged when you brush them and which brushes and combs are best for preserving shape, volume and shine.

Why is it difficult to brush out curls?
Curls and waves created with heat are extra sensitive right after styling. The cuticle is open and the hair needs to cool down for the shape to set. Brushing too early or using the wrong brush will result in frizz, loss of style, and curls that don't last more than a few hours.

Start with the right foundation
For curls to last longer, the foundation must be right. Avoid using heavy products before styling as they make the hair flat and difficult to style. Opt for lighter products that moisturize and hold. We recommend a volume series and a leave-in cream that moisturizes the hair. Remember to always use heat protection before styling and let the curls cool completely before you start brushing them out.

Your Paddle Brush – for difficult-to-style hair
When you want to detangle your hair after styling without pulling out your curls , Your Paddle Brush is the perfect choice. The wide design glides through your hair for a smooth feel, while maintaining the definition in your curls from both Your Curl Wand and Your Wave Wand. It's perfect for hard-to-style hair that easily loses its style. It's great for blow-drying to create volume and an airy feel.

Your Comb – to separate waves
If you want to accentuate waves in a soft and natural way, Your Comb is the right choice. The wide wooden comb separates the waves nicely , reduces frizz and gives that airy styling that is seen everywhere on social media. If you have hair that is difficult to style, the comb works perfectly to separate out the styling for maximum effect.

Your Hair Brush – for fullness and glow
For a finish that gathers curls and adds body, shine and volume, Your Hair Brush is the obvious choice.

Perfect for curls created with Your Curl Wand that you want to give a soft and cohesive finish.
