Your curls are unique and need to be treated that way, this includes how you should dry your hair.
If your trying to do your best to keep your curls healthy, it's time to ditch the standard towel.
Sure I am not going to argue that towels work great for drying your body after your shower but let’s keep them just for that, your body! Because they aren’t great when it comes to taking care of your curls.
Yes it is a habit that can be hard to change and it means another thing to wash, But this is one change that should absolutely be done.
So what should you use instead of your towel to dry your locks?
Well lots of curlies use a Microfiber towels which are great, But I love an old cotton shirt! And even better you don’t need to pop down the shop to buy anything new, I even raid my husband’s shirt draw and steal an old cotton shirt from the bottom and magic it is now my forever hair drying shirt!
Why you say? Why should I not use my normal towel, Give me a reason!
OK I will I will…Here's why you should use a microfiber towel or an old cotton shirt (like me) on curls.
A normal towel can wreak a whole lot of havoc in a short amount of time on those curls. See towels are designed with loops, And this is great for absorbing water. But, when put onto curly hair, the loops pull and tug at your delicate curls. And this leads to breakage, and frizz , And trust me you don’t need to deal with that! If your goal is to keep your strands healthy, then trust me swap out that towel today x
