One trick is after you wash and rinse, use the water hose to train the hair. Blow the hair forward just like you would with the blower. Water actually seperates the individual hairs better than a comb, brush, or the blower would, and a lot of times these curls or waves are from the hair clumping together while you are trying to comb or brush. After you have rinsed the hair forward, comb through it forward with a stimulator comb, then go to town on it with a rice root and whatever daily conditioner you use until you feel like your arm will fall off. Then blow him out. This has always worked well for me, and you can ussually really tell the difference when you comb after rinsing all the hair forward as opposed to just running the hose over them.
