In this post, we’re sharing towel drying DO’S and DONT’S, How-To “Plop” your curls, and best practices for healthy hair and scalp.
First thing you need to know is not all towels are created equal. Terry cloth is the typical weave on most towels, including microfibre towels. If you have sensory sensitivities, these are the towels that also feel super rough to touch. The looped stitching can be absorbent but also abrasive on your hair, causing frizz and potentially breakage. I don’t use any of those on my hair, ever.
So, what’s the secret to successful towel drying? The key is to use the right towel, one that is ultra-smooth like the Perfect Haircare towel. It feels silky smooth, so this is gentle on your curls while still being absorbent enough to dry your hair quickly, cutting down dry time by up to 70%, minimizing frizz. Best part is, it’s also big enough to fit all my hair AND my large head.
Once you have your towel, it’s important to use it correctly. Following the proper techniques can actually lead to faster styling, more volume, and softer curls – who doesn’t want that? Plus, it’s a great alternative to blow drying, especially in warm climates or if you want to avoid using heat on your hair.
Now that you know how to properly towel dry your hair, remember not to keep your hair wet for long and please don’t go to sleep with wet hair. You got this. And if you need more visuals, see the videos below!
