It is not recommended to straighten wet hair. Using a flat iron or other heat styling tools on damp hair can cause serious damage to your hair.
Here's why:
- Fragile Hair: Wet hair is more fragile than dry hair because the cuticles are open, making it more susceptible to breakage.
- Heat Damage: Applying heat to wet hair can cause the water to turn to steam, which can lead to steam burns and hair damage.
- Uneven Heat Distribution: Heat doesn't distribute evenly through wet hair, causing some areas to become hotter than others, leading to uneven styling and damage.
Instead of straightening wet hair, it is recommended to wait until your hair is 100% dry before using any heat styling tools.
To avoid damaging your hair, ensure it is completely dry before using a flat iron or other heat styling tools.
