When hair is wet, it can stretch up to 30% of its original length due to the water weakening the hydrogen bonds in the hair shaft. This increased flexibility is why hair is more prone to breakage when wet and should be handled gently. It is important to use a wide-tooth comb and avoid pulling or tugging on wet hair to prevent damage.
