Brush your hair when it is dry?

A common hair tip is to never brush your hair when it is wet, because wet hair is more elastic and can be torn more easily then.

And it's true, the hair is more elastic when it's wet, but the fact that it tears more easily does not actually apply to all hair!

Should you brush your hair when it is wet or dry?
I who have hydrophilic hair (often thin, moist, but have little protein in the hair) have a very elastic hair because it is not so strong. Then I should definitely not brush it when it is wet because then it is extra elastic and brittle.

But a hydrophobic hair, which is thus coarser, strong and hard than it is elastic, it is actually better to brush when it is wet and the hairs are a little more elastic.

Compare hair with boiled vs uncooked spaghetti
We can compare it to two different spaghetti - one cooked and one uncooked. Hydro-felt hair is like boiled spaghetti, very soft and absolutely nothing to brush through when it is overcooked because it will only break the cloth. Hydrophobic hair is like uncooked spaghetti, hard and stiff when dry, what happens if you brush in uncooked spaghetti? It's going off!

In practice
Then it is the case that not everyone can not brush your hair when it is wet, you get out of the shower and it is messy, and all styling products you should have in damp hair you want to distribute evenly etc. Of course most hydrophilic hairs can be brushed a little when it is wet, but you should be very Carefully and above all sort out any tangles before the shower so that you do not have the worst felt to sort out when the hair is wet.

And the same goes for hair that is the opposite, people with hydrophobic hair probably want to brush their hair on days you do not shower as well. But tangles are better to carefully sort out in the shower, for example, when you have in your hair wrap.
