Hair Drying and the Brush

A Styling Tip

We all know how vulnerable our hair is while it is wet and using the brush can really do some damage. After you shampoo your hair, blot it dry with a towel and then try to detangle it with your fingers. Don't use the brush.

This is the time when you can stretch the strands and weaken them to the point where they snap. The brush used on wet hair can also cause frizzing to occurr. Don't pick up the brush until your hair is somewhere between damp and dry, and only then it is okay to use the blow dryer and a round brush.
