Why Not To Brush Hair when it’s Wet

You know that blow drying your hair can cause damage that may be difficult to correct. In an effort to thwart this damage, you should let your hair air dry whenever possible. However, you should also resist the urge to brush your hair when it’s wet.

You may be wondering why not to brush hair when it’s wet. The answer is simple, when hair is wet it is especially vulnerable to damage. Water weakens the weakest bonds within strands of hair, removing 1/3 of its strength. The simple act of brushing can lead to dire consequences in this weakened state.

More Prone to Breakage

When your hair is weakened, it’s more prone to breakage. Brushing is one of the roughest actions you can do to your hair, especially if it is long and tangles. Brushing wet hair will lead to significantly more broken strands than if you allowed the hair to dry before brushing it.
