Are you ready for the second in this series of hair-and-scalp loving tips? As the illustration above (hopefully) indicates, these tips are good for ALL hair types: straight, wavy, curly, koily, kinky, dry, greasy, thinning, heavy, dandruffy, sensitive, dyed, straightened, bleached, permed, impossible, frizzy, spongy, crunchy and all other manner of head hair.
TIP 2. Wide Toothed While Wet – Regardless of Hair Type
While your hair is wet, always use a wide-toothed comb (even if you have thin, straight strands), and always – always – be extra gentle.
If your hair is tangled, knotted, super long, or super-curly, be sure to 'support' the hair with your other hand as you carefully work the comb through.
Why
Wet hair is more 'susceptible' to overstretching and breaking. It should therefore be handled with genuine tender loving care.
I have always taken this suggestion to the extreme and use a 'fro-friendly' comb in both wet and dry hair (even though my hair is fine and straight). After all these years, using anything else would feel wrong.
