Hair Beauty Tip

The right way to towel dry hair



The right way to towel dry hairDoes your hair get poufy or frizzy as it dries? Aggressive toweling may be the culprit.

After shampooing, squeeze moisture from your hair with a towel and smooth downward along the hair shaft to keep the cuticle laying flat. Apply some leave-in conditioner and detangle with a wide-toothed comb.

Blow-drying downward along the hair shaft will also help to smooth and seal the hair cuticle resulting in shiny, smooth hair.

mine to, but if , next time you get it cut, get it thinned at the back and it really helps! xx

yes and if you get it thinned try and only thin the middly layer. if you thin all of it may be a little frizzy on the upper larer and when you put it up the bottom layer may be frizzy.;]

I do the exact same thing but try combing it in the shower. I don't need to use leave i conditioner becasue I go to Sally Beauty Supply and use what my hair dresser uses.

This was really helpfuL. I normaly go mad when I towl dry cos I'm always in a rush. Another good thing is try to use a straightening nozzel on your hairdryer.

Also, comb your hair in the shower after your done washing it and then squeeze the water out of your hair and dry your hair with a paper towel. It works!

what is a decent drug store leave in conditioner?


pearl5711 wrote: Thu, 2008-07-10 19:57

I usually just wrap my hair up in the towel and leave it for 30 mins. Is this bad?

Just a tip regarding leaving conditioner in while you shae and soap up. I have found that clipping your hair up in the shower with conditioner in hair is helpful in that the ends don't get washed or unintentionaly loose the conditioner. This allows you to scrub, then take out clip (now in hair for about ten minutes).


pinkpearl19 wrote: Sun, 2008-12-14 19:57

Leave-in conditioner sprays help somewhat. But if you have really frizzy hair, I would say use a hair cream. Apply it to your hair when it's still damp. That way, when it dries (doesn't matter if you blow dry or let it air dry) your hair will still have moisture in it. I apply some more cream to my hair after it's been dried as well.


pinkpearl19 wrote: Sun, 2008-12-14 19:59

Btw, Dove and Sunsilk have some very good and affordable hair creams. I personally swear by just one hair product ----> Dove Advanced Care Anti-Frizz Cream!!
