Brushing wet hair might be ruining your hair without you realizing it. Experts say wet strands are weaker and more likely to break. That’s because water makes the hair swell and stretch, damaging it at a deeper level.
If your hair is fine, colored, or chemically treated, it’s even more at risk. Brushing roughly or using the wrong tools can lead to thinning and split ends. But skipping brushing can also leave your hair tangled and messy.
To protect your hair, use a wide-tooth comb or a soft detangling brush. Start from the bottom and work your way up. Add a leave-in conditioner to help glide through knots, and let your hair air-dry a bit before brushing. Small changes can help your hair stay stronger and healthier.
