9. Be Careful With Wet Hair
Hair is most vulnerable to breaking while being wet. Many people have the habit of brushing and rubbing towels directly after getting out of the shower. Never do that!
It’s better to brush before you get your hair wet, or use the blow drying method we mentioned above. If you wish to use a towel, don’t rub it, instead blot your hair gently with a soft towel and let it dry off. Also, after your hair is dry, avoid tying it up tightly. Tight ponytails or braids can damage the roots, leaving scars that ultimately destroy them. Adopt a habit of loosening up your hair especially while sleeping.
