I can remember my teacher told me that there is a sequence to use the adjectives, but I forgot.

e.g. I would like to use "long, brown, curly" to describe someone's hair.
Is it necessary to put "a comma" and "and" in the sentecse.
She has curly long brown hair.  <-- Is it correct?  How about the sequence of the adjectives?

Welcome to the Forum  Kitty - See this link, and scroll down the page to see the sequence of adjectives ....  Royal order of adjectives

In your sequence, it would be long (size) curly (shape) brown (color) hair (noun).
