A paddle brush can be good for curly hair if used correctly, but it depends on the hair type and how you use it. For curly hair, a paddle brush with widely spaced bristles can help detangle without causing frizz or disrupting the curl pattern. However, it’s best to use it gently, preferably when the hair is damp and with a leave-in conditioner to minimize breakage. Some people with curly hair prefer a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush to avoid frizz and maintain curl definition.
