Each day introduces a slew of chemicals in the form of gels, creams, and sprays.
We alsoapply heat,whether through curling irons, blow dryers, or straighteners.
That’s not even counting the monthly chemical processes to dye, bleach, curl, and/or straighten.
And, if these treatments cause our scalp to scar, the hair may never grow back.
All of these things can cause serious damage in the long run.
Another seemingly innocent habit can also hurt your hair and you may be doing it on a regular basis.
What happens when you brush wet hair
We’ve all done it before.
Yet this one simple act can be exponentially damaging to our locks.
Trichologist David Adams saysyou shouldn’t brush your hair when it’s wet.
“Brushing your hair from top to bottom will inevitably cause breakage,” De Marco warnedHealthline.
“If your brush gets stuck, remove it and start again, gently.”
Simply add a few drops of hair serum or oil, particularly at the ends, before you brush.
For best results, use a wide-toothed comb and gently work it through your curls.
For straight hair, purchase a brush specifically made for dry hair, such as a paddle brush.
