Your hair is most vulnerable when it's wet, which increases the likelihood of breakage and loss. Here are some typical errors you may be making and how to correct them:

Wet hair is prone to stretching and breaking. Instead, use a wide-tooth comb or detangler, starting from the tips and working your way up.

This creates friction, leading to frizz and breakage. Instead, gently blot your hair with a microfiber towel or a cotton t-shirt.

Wet hair is fragile, and tight hairstyles can lead to traction hair loss. Let it air-dry before tying or use soft scrunchies for a loose style.

Lack of moisture can lead to more tangles and breakage in wet hair. Use a lightweight conditioner or leave-in product to help protect and detangle.

Applying heat to soaking wet hair can cause significant damage. Allow your hair to partially air-dry before using a blow dryer, and always apply a heat protectant.
