Why Hair Is Most Fragile When It’s Wet

Every time your hair gets wet, its internal structure temporarily weakens. Water breaks the hydrogen bonds inside the hair fiber, bonds responsible for nearly one-third of the hair’s strength.

At the same time, the hair shaft swells by about 15% as it absorbs water. This expansion lifts the cuticle layers instead of allowing them to lie flat like protective armor.

When the cuticle lifts, the strands begin to catch and rub against each other, which is why hair tangles so easily after washing.

For roughly 30 minutes after washing, hair is at its most vulnerable stage. Yet this is exactly when many people:

• Rub their hair aggressively with a towel
• Brush or comb roughly
• Apply heat with styling tools

All of this creates friction and stress on hair that is already weakened.

How to protect wet hair:

• Use a microfiber towel instead of rough terry cloth
• Detangle gently from the ends upward using a wide-tooth comb
• Allow hair to air-dry or fully dry before using heat tools

Think of wet hair like a fiber that has temporarily lost a significant portion of its strength. The way you treat it during this stage makes a huge difference in preventing breakage and preserving healthy hair.

Forgot to take the “before” pic but this client had cinnamon colored hair w 1 1/2” salt and pepper regrowth . So she could just let more of her natural color grow out I put in hair color by Guy Tang and some silver highlights

This client was very light and added some low lights for depth on her A-line bob

This was a client with ginger-y coloring that she didn’t like with some highlights …toned the ginger and gave her more highlights and made them pop
