You're ruining your hair with this habit.

The article discusses how daily brushing of wet hair with a comb can damage hair, leading to thinning and eventual loss over time. Experts warn that repeatedly brushing the same sections of hair—especially the temples and back of the head—creates excessive friction and tension on already sensitive hair strands. This mechanical stress can cause breakage, thinning, and uneven texture. The article explains that wet hair is particularly vulnerable because water weakens hydrogen bonds, making it more stretchable and prone to damage. It also highlights that wrapping hair in a towel after washing can create additional friction and tension, especially if the towel is rough. Dermatologists recommend gently blotting moisture out of hair rather than rubbing, moving from roots to ends, and using softer materials like microfiber towels to reduce damage. While brushing does not cause male pattern baldness, it can exacerbate existing hair loss by damaging healthy strands.
