Avoid Brushing Wet Hair

Hair is notably more fragile when wet, making it susceptible to damage if brushed in this state. Brushing wet hair increases the risk of breakage and the formation of split ends, as the hair’s weakened state can’t withstand the stress of brushing.

To minimize damage, it’s advisable to let your hair air-dry after washing it before attempting to detangle or style it. Once your hair is dry, remember to brush gently and slowly. Even when dry, rough brushing can damage hair, so a gentle approach is key to maintaining healthy hair.
