\u00a0\"\"<\/a>Anyone dealing with frizzy hair or split ends?\u00a0 Do you desire shinier, healthier hair?\u00a0 Well, I feel like I could do a whole series on what to do to help your hair become shinier and healthier.\u00a0 But, today I’m going to just stick with one tip that will make a difference, so as not to have too long a post.\u00a0 I also repeat this tip quite a bit in the salon and so I thought it wise to share here as well.\u00a0 It all has to to with what you do after you have washed your hair, when it is wet and needs to be dried.<\/p>\n

You see, many people do the same thing.\u00a0 They wring a bit of the water out of their hair with their hands, step out of their shower, grab that towel and begin drying off their hair by rubbing the towel all over their head and hair.\u00a0 As with many things that have to do with our health and beauty, this would be fine if you did it once in a while, but if every time you dry your hair, it starts with this, it definitely could be adding to the split ends, frizz and damage of your hair.\u00a0 You see, if you look closely at any regular towel, you will see that there are a ton of little strings sticking up from it.\u00a0 Unbeknownst to many, these little strings are fantastic at grabbing on and roughing up each one of your tiny hair’s cuticle layers (aka- the outer layer of each hair strand, where split ends start).\u00a0 We rub back and forth and go against the grain of the hair as well, like a stylist does when they want to back comb or tease your hair for volume and yet, this causes knots and can also cause damage.<\/p>\n

And so ideally, when you finish washing\/conditioning your hair, you want to wring it out with your hands.\u00a0 But after that, either let it be so it dries a bit (which is great for people with short thin hair as it will not drip all over the place) then, starting at the ends, gently comb it out.\u00a0 But, if you have any length or amount of hair, it would be much better to use something much easier on your hair.\u00a0 Because I am a frugal person myself, to benefit you, I suggest using an old t-shirt to dry your hair over using a towel.\u00a0 It is self evident right off the bat that if you look closely at a t-shirt, it does not have those nubby little strings coming off of it that can tangle and over time, damage your hair.\u00a0 I also suggest never going against the grain of the hair when drying it, so as to rough up that cuticle layer, but rather dry your hair with that t-shirt starting at the top of your head and going down, squeezing it, to get the access water out.<\/p>\n

But, if you do not want to bother with a t-shirt hanging out to dry in your bathroom all the time and would prefer an excellent product at an affordable price that is far superior to a towel, then I would recommend the Aquis Original Towel Wrap<\/a>\u00a0for many reasons.\u00a0 One, it will dry your hair much faster then any towel for two reasons- it is made of a special microfiber that absorbs water better and also it securely stays on your head while drying your hair.\u00a0 Another benefit of it being on your head for a given time is that it keeps your hair off of your face, body and clothes while you are getting ready for your day.\u00a0 This is beneficial if you are eating your breakfast, brushing your teeth, shaving, applying moisturizer, sunblock or makeup, or putting on clothes that you don’t want to get wet.\u00a0 The microfiber is lightweight and much gentler on your hair then a towel is as well.\u00a0 Of course it will not dry your hair completely like a blow dryer will and this brings me to my last point.\u00a0 We all know that all heat tools, including blow dryers, can also be hard on your hair.\u00a0 Yet, we know that blow dryers are very handy as many do not want to leave their house with wet hair and they are amazing at producing the fullness and style we want as well.\u00a0 So, as a stylist I also often recommend not blow drying your hair for very long if possible, in other words- letting it dry out as much as possible before blow drying it.\u00a0 And so, of course this Aquis product allows for much drying before the dreaded heat tool needs to do it’s work.\u00a0 This product also comes in 8 colors to choose from and is on Amazon prime so that, if you belong, you won’t have to pay for your shipping.\u00a0 This towel is easy to launder and dries quickly as well.<\/p>\n

Hope this helps you on your road to healthier, softer and silkier hair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
