Be Gentle: Wet hair is more fragile and susceptible to damage, so handle it with care. Avoid aggressive rubbing or wringing, which can cause breakage.
Use a Wide-Tooth Comb: Instead of a brush, use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush to gently work through tangles.
Apply a Leave-In Conditioner: If you have particularly knotty or dry hair, apply a leave-in conditioner or a detangling spray to help ease the combing process.
Avoid Towel Turbans: Wrapping your hair in a heavy towel and creating a turban can cause stress on your wet hair and lead to breakage.
Air Dry Whenever Possible: Letting your hair air dry is the gentlest option. If you can, allow your hair to dry naturally without using heat styling tools.
Use a Heat Protectant: If you must use heat styling tools, like a hairdryer or straightener, apply a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from heat damage.
Avoid Tight Hairstyles: Wet hair is more elastic and vulnerable to stretching and breakage.
Minimize Brushing: Try to minimize brushing or combing your hair when it's wet. If you need to style it, use your fingers to separate strands gently.
