Braking before nose wheel touchdown

Do any of you use wheel braking in normal conditions inbetween main gear and nosewheel touchdown? My type has no autobrakes so I smoothly apply the brakes immediately the nose gear touches down. Just been reading about hard nose wheel touchdowns / excessive de-rotations and wondered if braking would increase the risk of a hard nose gear touchdown.
