These wet hair mistakes might be damaging your hair

 Our hair follicles are the weakest when they are wet, combing them at this point will not only break them but lead to dry and dull hair.

New Delhi: We all take so much pain to take care of our tresses, from using organic, sulphate free shampoos, to getting hair spas every fortnight to doing DIY hair masks to get shiny and flowy hair. But there is one big mistake that we always look over and dont realise which secretly might be damaging our hair.

Most of the time we come out after washing our hair and start combing to detangle our hair. If you are one of those people then you are causing serious damage to your hair. Our hair follicles are the weakest when they are wet, combing them at this point will not only break them but lead to dry and dull hair.

A few wet hair mistakes:

Combing wet hair - that's the first thing we do after dressing up, the hair is too weak and needs gentle care. Rather brush your hair before you hit the shower, if you feel that your hair gets tangled after wash, apply a serum or light hair oil and then brush it with a wide-tooth comb. This will make detangling easy. Also, don't wait for your hair to completely dry off and then comb your hair, that makes your hair dry and lose the lustre. Always start from the ends, and work your way up. Hold the section of the hair you are brushing/combing in your hand. Also, remember to use a leave-in conditioner.

Vigorously towel drying - your hair follicles are the weakest when they are wet, they tend to break even at the gentlest stroke, imagine how much damage we cause when we vigorously dry them using a towel. Rather simply dab your hair with a towel and try to squeeze out excess water do not tie your wet hair with the towel it can cause dandruff.
