Description
Brushing wet hair is a death sentence, right? Actually, no! It's a common myth, but there's a nuance. Your hair, which contains up to 90% keratin, becomes much more vulnerable when wet.
Moisture weakens the hydrogen bonds within the hair cortex, making it more elastic but also more brittle. For example, wet hair can stretch up to 30% of its length but still break easily. The cuticle is raised, increasing friction.
That's why a regular brush or fine-tooth comb can cause two to three times more damage when combing wet hair than when it's dry. Stylists like George Northwood recommend using only wide-tooth combs.
Start brushing from the ends, gradually working your way toward the roots. This helps gently detangle knots. Use a leave-in conditioner or a glide-enhancing spray, like Moroccan Oil Treatment, which reduces breakage by 50%.
So, combing wet hair is possible, but be smart! The right comb and technique are your best friends for maintaining health and shine. Try this method and see how your hair will become noticeably stronger and more beautiful.
