When it comes to brushing wet hair, Makeup by L'Oréal also notes a few key steps to have in mind in order to keep it healthy and strong. First, use the shower to your advantage. If you have long hair, you may be used to putting it all up on the top of your head while shampooing and swirling it around so that the shampoo covers every strand. However, this is an easy way to create more tangles in your hair. Instead, it's recommended to just shampoo your roots first and then gently drag the product down to the bottom of your hair. That way, once you're out of the shower and ready to brush, your hair isn't filled with tangles.
Garnier also talks about how helpful it can be to let your hair dry naturally, even if it's just for 10 minutes after showering. Using a towel to absorb excess water before brushing is also recommended. While these alone can make your hair less at risk of damage, it's also important to be patient. Instead of rushing to brush through tangled hair, first, use your fingers to separate any knots you can feel. Taking time to properly prep your wet hair for brushing will only benefit it.
