When taking care of our hair, we often forget that we can create damage when we’re drying our hair manually. Drying is the process that can make or break the health of your hair. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is drying your hair using regular hair towels.
You could be taking care of your hair by buying the best hair products, oiling, using a chemical free shampoo, going for regular trims, but if you’re still using regular hair towels to dry your hair, you’re still causing considerable damage to your hair. Like, if you're going to invest all that time in your hair, why not use a towel that won't mess with the results?
Did you know that most towels are made of cotton or terry cloth? These towels cause significant damage to your hair in multiple of ways:
1. The main reason drying your hair with these towels is damaging to your hair is the excessive rubbing of cotton or terry cloth on the hair. Wet hair is in its most vulnerable state, hence more prone to breakage. Therefore, you should treat it very gently and drying your hair vigorously with these towels causes tremendous damage such as extreme breakage and hair loss because wet hair is easier to break, causes split ends because your hair shafts become rough, thereby worsening your split ends, resulting in small tears along the hair shaft. It also causes frizz as it roughens up your soft hair cuticles which is the outermost layer of your hair.
2. It’s big, bulky size: When you use regular towels to dry your hair, it absorbs water and gets heavier. The cotton towel already contains some weight on them, and then consuming water, they become so massive that it causes the strands to break. Also, you may have a habit of putting a cotton towel on your head while you walk around or do other things. However, this is one of the worst ways to use a cotton towel because the weight of the towel pulls down on wet fragile strands causing vulnerable strands to break.
3. Loss of moisture: The texture of cotton towels and terry cloth towels are coarse and dry which means that by drying your hair with them, you are stripping your hair of its natural moisture, and this in turn leads to frizziness and dryness. Therefore, if you feel that your hair is turning frizzier by the day, blame your hair towel.
4. Regular terry-cloth bath towels have little nubs that rough up your hair cuticle as it dries, leaving you with tangles, flyaways, and less-than-healthy strands over time.
All the reasons above demonstrate how using a regular cotton towel or terry cloth towel can cause considerable damage to your hair, it weakens the hair severely and results in hair loss. Not to mention, although cotton hair towels affect all hair types, If you have thin hair, you’ll be affected the most than others using cotton towels.
That’s why we’re so excited to introduce our Extra Gentle Anti-Breakage Hair Wrap. It’s time to drop that cotton/terry cloth towel and take your hair game to the next level by switching to our Extra Gentle Anti-breakage Hair Wrap, avoiding all the damages these towels cause. Made of microfiber, our Extra Gentle Anti-Breakage Hair Wrap is truly one of the easiest, most game-changing swaps you could make in your hair routine—microfiber towels are said to be the best towels for your hair.
Benefits of our Extra Gentle Anti-Breakage Hair Wrap compared to regular towels mentioned above:
1. Small size, easy wrap style and lightweight: Our hair wrap is much lighter, smoother, and gentler than your regular big, bulky towels. it's so light you won't remember you have it on and it doesn’t weigh your hair down. Just lean forward, flip the hair, twist the towel into a turban and secure at the nape of your neck with an elastic loop and button closure. It’s simple wrap style design enables you to gently dry your hair while you get things done. You can move around, multitask, and enjoy other things while your hair is getting dry in a healthy manner and without coming undone.
2. No rubbing! All you need to do is simply wrap it around your hair and not vigorously rub the hair together. Because there is less friction, the hair doesn’t encounter static electricity and doesn’t interact with itself that much (strands individually). This means that it prevents breakage, split ends, and frizz. It also means that you won’t need to spend money on extra products that keep your hair frizz-free, shiny and so on.
3. Quick dry: It dries your hair quicker than a regular towel. Spend less time drying your hair, exposing it to high, potentially damaging heat. It will cut your blow-drying time in half, which means that you will treat your hair with less heat! Less heat means less damage. Also, it dries hair without getting too wet themselves, unlike cotton towels which absorbs water and gets heavier which causes breakage.
4. It’s so soft: Microfiber towels are made from about 200 000 fibres per square inch. This makes the towel itself finer and more delicate than hair, which makes it impossible for our towel to cause damage. It’s great for those with curly hair, fine hair, damaged hair, and coarse hair. Microfiber fabric makes it ideal for gently removing the excess water in your strands without breaking up your curls and coils.
5. No loss of moisture: You will get a shiny, silky look because the moisture in your hair won’t be stripped away completely.
6. The towel itself lasts longer because it won’t retain water and the material lasts longer than regular cotton. You will get about 500 washes with one towel, which means that it’s a great investment to buy it, you’re set for years to come!
You must be wondering, why is our microfiber hair wrap better than any other microfiber hair towel?
Some microfiber hair wraps can feel insecure and wiggly on thicker, fuller hair because they have a little button-and-loop closure. However, our Extra Gentle Anti-Breakage Hair Wrap has a thick elastic band to keep the ends of the towel (and your hair) snugly in place, without falling off. Also, our extra gentle hair towel is small, you can carry it anywhere and it doesn’t take up space at all. it also works on all hair types: It doesn’t matter if you have thick hair, curly hair, or coarse hair.
Our Extra Gentle Anti-Breakage Hair Wrap is a must have. Once you realize how amazing it is, you'll never want to go without one.
If you’ve purchased our hair products or wish to purchase our hair products, I would strongly advise you to also grab yourself our hair wrap while stock lasts, because there’s no point of using our products then causing it damage by using a regular cotton/terry cloth towel to dry your hair. 💚
