Is it advisable to brush wavy hair to distribute natural oils?

Brushing wavy hair is generally unadvisable because it can lead to frizz and disrupt the natural wave pattern. Wavy hair tends to be more prone to tangling, and when brushed, it can cause the strands to separate and lose their defined wave structure. Instead of brushing, it's better to use a wide-tooth comb or fingers to gently detangle the hair when it is wet or conditioned. This method helps maintain the waves while allowing for the natural oils from the scalp to be distributed more evenly without causing damage or frizz.

In certain situations, like when using specific styling products designed for wavy hair, the approach may vary, but for most people with wavy hair types, it's advisable to avoid brushing altogether to keep the waves intact and minimize frizz.
