While air drying has many benefits, sometimes you don’t have the time or patience for it. In that case, wrapping your hair in a towel can help absorb excess water without causing damage. However, if it’s not done correctly, you could end up causing breakage and frizz. Let’s go through the proper technique to wrap your hair in a towel.
Firstly, choose a microfiber towel. Regular towels can be too rough and cause friction on your hair that can damage it. Use a towel that’s absorbent enough to dry your hair quickly. Then, gently squeeze excess water from your hair. Avoid twisting or wringing your hair, as that can also lead to breakage. Instead, use your hands or a microfiber hair wrap towel to squeeze out as much water as you can. Once you’ve squeezed out the excess water, it’s time to wrap your hair.
To wrap your hair, place the towel on your head and secure it with the elastic band provided. Make sure the towel is wrapped snugly around your head, but not too tightly. You don’t want to put any unnecessary tension on your hair. Leave the towel on for 10 to 15 minutes, or until your hair is dry to the touch. Once your hair is dry, remove the towel and style it as usual.
How to Wrap Your Hair in a Towel
Towel-drying your hair is a quick and easy way to absorb excess moisture, but it’s important to do it correctly to avoid damage. Here are the steps on how to wrap your hair in a towel:
-
Gently pat your hair with a towel. Do not rub or twist your hair, as this can cause breakage.
-
Wrap the towel around your hair. Start at the nape of your neck and bring the towel up to the top of your head. Secure the towel with a hair clip or elastic band.
-
Leave the towel on for 10-15 minutes. This will give the towel time to absorb as much moisture as possible.
-
Remove the towel and style your hair as desired.
