Should a male with long hair comb his hair daily?

A lot depends on the type of hair you have. If it’s stick straight or very slightly wavy (types 1a, 1b, 1c), then sure, have at it …but do be gentle.
Lots of good info for guys with long hair or those on their long hair journey.
If you have any of the wavy or curly types of hair (2a and beyond), no, you shouldn’t brush or comb your hair unless it’s wet. Dry brushing or combing wavy or curly hair can damage it and often results in a serious case of split ends and frizzies. The best way to “comb” dry wavy to curly hair is with your fingers. Wavy and curly hair is often dry so brushing or combing it isn’t going to be distributing your natural oils to any great degree …because your scalp doesn’t produce a lot of natural oils (sebum).
