They are most vulnerable in this condition.
Every impact on the hair can damage its structure, especially when combing, doctor-trichologist Tatiana Egorova told "FederalPress".
So, you should never brush your hair immediately after washing, when it is still wet, because then it is most vulnerable. At this time, the cuticles (the outer layer of hair) do not protect the hair shaft as it happens in a dry state. During washing, the cuticles open up, making the hair more susceptible to damage until it is completely dry.
For owners of curly hair, it is recommended to use combs with sparse teeth or special combs. These are less traumatic for curly hair. It is also important to comb curls while applying a mask or conditioner. Wet hair is better succumb to combing in the presence of moisturizer.
Recall that earlier the trichologist told how to properly dry hair with a hair dryer.
