5 Hair Tools That Could Be Breaking Your Hair

You might need to wave bye-bye to one of these silent hair breakers.

Your Favorite Comb

Yes, your favorite detangling tool could be the source of breakage, especially if you’re not combing from ends to root. If you’re not a fan of finger-combing your hair, trade in your fine-tooth combs for a wider tooth comb and a moisturizing conditioner.

Avoid combing hair when it’s dripping wet and be sure to baby your hair as your work through sections. Also, look for combs without any seams or paint coatings that could potentially snag onto and break hair. Your hair will thank you for it!
