If you want a lion's mane, then you should. But brushing it even a million times won't straighten your hair.

Rather, it will disrupt your curls and make it more frizzy and unmanageable. If you want to manage your curls - Use a leave-in cream & gel after you wash your hair and avoid dry brushing.

Remember - If you want to straighten them, there are temporary straightening options available. However, they may ruin your hair health in the long run.
