* Safety: Pressing wet hair can lead to serious burns. The heat from the pressing comb will turn water into steam, which can cause severe scalding.
* Damage: Wet hair is much more fragile than dry hair. Pressing wet hair can lead to breakage, split ends, and overall damage to the hair shaft.
* Ineffective Results: Wet hair won't hold a press as well. The moisture will make the hair limp and prevent the press from lasting. It will also make it harder to get a smooth, even press.
* Frizz: Wet hair tends to frizz more easily, and pressing wet hair will only worsen this.
Always make sure your hair is completely dry before applying heat, whether you're pressing, straightening, or using any other hot styling tool.
