Are there any good tips?

0Hi,02br
02br
00I was trying to figure out what guidelines I can use to know when to place commas and when not in a series of adjectives. Are there any guidelines or tips for that matter?02br
02br
00a small furry animal (Why no comma??)02br
02br
00Her long, fine hair02br
02br
00a large, delicate flower02br
02br
00I was aware of the fact that many grammar guides, whether those be online or offline, give out orders for a series of adectives and they typically are as follows: opinon, size, age, shape, colour, origin, material, purpose.02br
02br
00My question is "Where do the words 'furry', 'fine' and 'delicate' belong in that list of categories?"02br
02br
00furry -- material??02br
02br
00fine -- material??02br
02br
00delicate -- material??0-
