Stop Brushing Your Hair If You Want Waves

"I've always just thought I was born with frizz." Eleven thousand people liked that comment, and the brush may be the reason. Here's the free two-section check you can do on your next wash, and the wave routine with what you already own. Why the brush hides waves, where the 1A-to-4C chart came from, how to read your test (an S, a bend, or straight), how to tell waves from damage, the t-shirt plop, hands off, and the hair-dryer result almost nobody guesses. Every step is labelled on screen as a dermatology guideline, a stylist's method or a study.
