|  Did I read this right??? If I am remembering right...several months ago, I read where someone posted "never brush a dry coat, never comb a wet coat." I know you should never brush a dry coat...but what is so bad about combing a wet coat??? maybe this is my problem, I use the comb all the time and do it when the coat is wet with spray conditioner on it.

|  Really? I've never heard that! You're not supposed to brush a dry coat? Why not? Mine don't have long hair, so does that make a difference? I swear, I learn something new every day here!!!

| We brush Jasmine and Sasha no matter what! Is that bad? I am freaking out now! What are we suppose to do? Not brush them at all? That is so confusing! What can it do to them?

| I know for a fact you should not be brushing a dry coat. it causes major breakage. BUT....the thing that confused me was the "don't comb a wet coat" part.

| When I give both of mine a bath I blow dry then I brush. I have always brushed both of them with a dry coat. After brushing I look at the brush, I don't see a lot of hair in the brush. When I comb Jazzies hair, I do sections at a time, as I go I hold the hair closest to her skin with my fingers so that I am not tugging or pulling with the brush. You do what works for you.

Ever since I started using a conditioner, I don't even have to reach for the detangler. It could also be that my 2 don't have a huge amount of hair
