Combing hair while wet - causing damage?

June 10, 2024
Asked By:Yolo2012 in New York, New York

Hello doctors, I’m a male with medium length hair. I’ve always monitored my hair and wanted to ask a question. My hair takes a very long time to dry. Post shower I dab it with a towel but it’s still quite wet. I run a wide tooth comb through it. Is it okay running a comb post shower or is that damaging the follicle? Thanks so much for your help!
