Wet Hair: Brush it?

Is it ok for me to brush my hair when I get out of a bath?

A:Unless your brush has its teeth spaced widely, I would recommend you to avoid brushing your hair when coming out of a shower. This is so because conventional combs have their brushes too close to each other. This causes pressure to the hair when passed through them. Wet hair is generally more fragile than it is when it’s dry, so when you pass your comb through your damp hair it snaps.

If you want to untangle your crazy hair you’re better off combing your hair with a wide-tooth comb and pass it a several times more. Unless of course, if you don’t mind loosing a few hairs then it’s ok, it’s not like you’re going to go bald or something. If you do then you should really consider going to a doctor near you immediately.
