Our hair is made up of small fibers, which due to their chemical structure behave differently when these fibers are wet or dry, their structure even reacts to heat and this is the reason why you can straighten and shape your hair with the dryer, the iron , etc. One of the most important aspects is that when our hair is wet it is much more fragile, the probability of breaking the fibers of which it is composed increases significantly, therefore the ideal is to dry our hair before combing it.
How to dry my hair correctly?
So far, nothing new, many of us know it and that is why we dry our hair when we get out of the shower, generally we do it with a towel, but we are unaware that this simple custom has a lot to do with making our hair look mistreated and with split ends. By rubbing our wet hair with the towel, we increase the probability of breaking its fibers, which translates into split ends, frizz, and flyaways. And it is that although we need to dry the excess water from our hair, we can do it with other types of fabrics that do not generate friction with the fibers of our hair, such as cotton. Are you wondering where to buy or how to get a cotton cloth to dry your hair?
