Wet hair is prone to breakage, and using the wrong type of hair brush can easily damage it. The best tool to use to brush your wet hair is a wide tooth comb. It will safely detangle the hair and distribute a leave-in treatment if you’re using one.
6. You’re brushing through dry curls.
Hair care specialists recommend to avoid brushing curly hair when it’s dry and using a de-tangling spray beforehand. You can also apply a leave-in detangler and gently work the curls apart without applying too much force. Combing hair too vigorously may lead to more damage and breakage.
7. You don’t brush your hair before you wash it.
Combing your hair before getting in the shower can prevent it from tangling. Gently massage shampoo onto your scalp instead of scrubbing it, and scrunch your wet hair dry with a towel, rather than rubbing it. This may cause your hair to tangle, and you will have to comb it again.
