Do you have long hair and if so do you comb in while still in the shower to prevent tangles?

I wash my hair (almost mid back length) in the shower and also put conditioner on it -- then I immediately comb it while still in the shower and my hair is extremely wet. This action seems to decrease the amount of tangles in my hair. Is this a good thing or should I be doing something else to it? I find when it drys (and I do not dry it using a dryer) that it doesn't look or feel as dry and the ends don't seem to split as much. Does anyone else do this?

Back in the day I had waist-length hair, and I used a wide-tooth comb in the shower while rinsing out the conditioner, too! Just be sure to start combing from the ends up so you're not pulling on the hair shaft as much, because this leads to breakage and if you pull too hard, the hair can just come out. A good rule of thumb is, "If it hurts, stop." Lol.

Combing your hair gently when it's wet won't damage the hair shafts so long as you're using a smooth-toothed, wide-toothed comb. When you make a pass through you hair, keep it slow, and don't press the teeth into your scalp too hard. Contrary to what someone said, combing your hair when it's wet doesn't make more hair come out. On average, a person with healthy hair will still lose more than 100 hairs per day, and those who comb lose less than those who use bristle brushes. Combs lessen friction on the hair shafts, and they don't create tangles like bristle brushes can. Since your hair is passing through one row of teeth, it's not getting caught on multiple other rows of teeth, so breakage is minimal. The wider the teeth are set apart, the better, especially if you have thick hair.

I cut my hair chin-length a few months ago and it's now just past my shoulders and even now I continue to comb my hair in the shower.

Heat is terrible on your hair, no matter what products you use to "protect" it. Heat dries out the moisture, and burns the crap out of the surface, increasing flyaways and broken hair shafts.

In all actuality, brushing your hair dry does more damage, since most people don't take their time and fall for the wives tale about brushing your hair wet causing damage. When dry, your hair is stronger, but as mentioned above, dry hair running through a comb or brush creates friction, which creates static and heat, which damages the hair shaft.

I use conditioner but combing in the shower is normally used to prevent frizz on curly hair-not strait.

I have long hair. But you shouldn't comb it in the shower because it takes out more hair than if you just combed it when it is dry.

I like to do so with conditioner is still in. As long as you start at the bottom and work your way up gently, you'll do the least damage. Also, make sure you use a very wide tooth comb!

I have long hair, just below my shoulders now, use to be a lot longer %26amp; all I ever do is just shampoo %26amp; condition in the shower as normal but don't comb it while it's still wet, you can 'cut' or 'break' the hair if you do that, leading to a lot of split ends. I'm not sure why that's not happened already mind you lol. I usually just towel dry my hair very well then run a comb through it carefully %26amp; leave to dry.

You sound a lot like me! Awesome....

I recently used to have hair down to my butt.

I'd use conditioner too, and brush it as soon as I got out of the shower. If you don't mind brushing your hair in the shower, then keep on. I too, would let my hair air dry. Probably used a blowdryer once every couple years.

Everyone always gushed about my hair and it's health, even when it's been dyed and processed so much. It's simple everyone, unless you have a more complex hair style with lots of layers, just don't blow dry it.

i recently cut my hair because i donated it, but i had hair that went to my lower back, and i used to comb it while i was in the shower but my mom complained because when i would walk back into my room there would be a line of water dripping from my hair so i would comb it and put it in a towel to dry which caused it to be tangly. So i eventually just stopped. I also have really healthy hair so i must be doing something right.
