5 things to not do with your hair when it is wet
Hair is at its most vulnerable state when it is wet. In order to keep your hair healthy and damage free, you should avoid doing several things. Here are some examples:

Wet hair can be styled in a variety of ways, but it can also be more vulnerable to damage and breakage, especially when it is combed or brushed while wet. It is often recommended to allow hair to air dry or use a hair dryer on a low heat setting to minimize damage. (istockphoto)

Brushing or combing aggressively: Wet hair is more fragile than dry hair, and excessive pulling or tugging can cause breakage and split ends. If you must comb your hair while it's wet, use a wide-toothed comb and start from the ends, gently working your way up. (Spencer Davis on Unsplash)

Using hot styling tools: Heat styling tools like hair dryers, straighteners, and curling irons can damage wet hair, as the heat can cause the water in the hair to boil, leading to breakage and frizz. If you need to use these tools, make sure your hair is at least 80% dry before applying heat. (File image)

Tying it tightly: Wet hair is more elastic than dry hair, and pulling it into a tight ponytail or bun can cause breakage and weaken the strands. Instead, use a soft scrunchie or hair tie and keep your hairstyle loose. (Photo by RODNAE Productions on Pexels)
