This how-to is going to blow your mind and your hair.
Here's
the typical hair wash regime: rinse, lather, repeat, towel dry, then
style (blow-dry, twist, etc). This is most likely your routine, and
because of it, you're probably damaging your precious locks.
While
explaining how to deep condition hair, celebrity hairstylist to Insecure star Issa Rae and Disney star Skai Jackson, Felicia Leatherwood, revealed a major key to maintaining your tresses' moisture. "Don't
forget to use a soft T-shirt to dry your beautiful textured hair or
drip dry if you don't mind your shirt being wet," she warned us.
The
coarse texture and dryness of a cotton or terry-cloth towel soaks up
both water and your product, leaving your hair follicles vulnerable to
damage. Most of us also rub the towel in a back-and-forth motion along
the hair shaft, which also causes breakage and creates additional frizz.
Have split ends? If so, drying your hair with a towel is only making it
worse.
Good
news: You have the solution. A T-shirt or microfiber will allow your
hair to retain a healthy amount of moisture. Remember the free T-shirt
you got that sits in your drawer until you need a quick bedtime tee?
Well, now it's a beauty product. If you like to wrap your hair in
turban-like fashion, a shirt won't do. Instead of reusing this clothing
item, you can swap out your typical towel for a microfiber, anti-frizz
towel, made specifically for drying hair. Check out the best options
below!
You're on your way to healthier hair!
