A premise and a must: if you suffer from neck pain or you get cold easily, better not to leave your hair completely wet and dry it perhaps behind the neck and ears, or use the hairdryer with a less strong jet and with the heat to a minimum. Also you have to be careful, because wet hair is much more fragile , it should therefore be brushed as little as possible and avoid hairstyles and elastics that tighten too much, because they could break them.
