Micro-Fibre Towels

Avoid any vigorous rubbing of wet cuticles by gently blotting curly hair with an absorbent micro-fiber towel, designed to suck up excess moisture. Not only are your curly strands at their most fragile when wet, rubbing damp strands will ruffle the cuticle encouraging frizziness and split ends.

Gently blotting excess water drippage instead of vigorously rubbing will encourage a softer, less rough feeling. It will also encourage clumping of your curls which results in more curl definition.

There are a variety of micro-fiber towels that are designed to help absorb moisture and dampness. Some are designed with waffles and others make use of different weave patterns. A really plush beach towel is often a good choice as well. Find the type of towel that works best for your hair and budget.
