Neither do those links, AJ. They aren't exactly science articles, lol. People can write whatever they want and post it online. There's no lack of experts out there, only *reliable* experts. ;)

Anyway, if you want to comb your hair dry/wet, whatever. I'm just not sure your reason has any real validity to it, is all.

What do you want? A scholarly article from a professor that did actual lab studies on it? lol

I'm just trying to give you advice on taking care of your hair and you're telling me that I have no proof that it's true. My proof is from personal experience as well as others experiences. It's common sense and a widely accepted fact. You're asking me to prove that water is wet.

Use conditioner or a leave in anti-frizz serum, they act like a lubricant.

AJ there are people who believe all sorts of things. And some will even say them loudly & forcefully, with some vague scientific-sounding argument that may, or may not, be correct. But being opinionated doesn't make one correct. My own common sense tells me that if I comb my hair *dry* it is more likely to break b/c the water acts as a lubricant. Certainly, its a LOT harder for me to pull a brush through my hair dry than wet. Just giving you an alternative hypothesis. For all I know, the additional weight of wet hair is nothing compared to the strength of the hard keratin it is made of. Teeth also contain hard keratin in the enamel (I think) and one wouldn't argue that the water in our mouths make our teeth less strong when we bite.

So no, you don't need to find a scholarly article. Tho it would be interesting if there was one. I'm just saying that what you present as *proof* isn't really proof, its opinion. That's fine as far as it goes. Shrug.
