Quick Answer
Wet hair is at its most fragile — cuticle swollen, easier to break. Never to do: brush aggressively, rub vigorously with towel, sleep with wet hair, tie tight ponytails. Do: pat dry with microfiber towel, finger-detangle from ends up, leave-in conditioner on damp hair, use a wide-tooth comb, air-dry when possible.
