I wanna say it maybe sorta “locks in” moisture or something but I have no idea if that intuition is in fact the case
That’s a thing? I thought long haired people did that to somehow manage the mess and delay the drying…
I do it initially so my wet hair doesn’t drip everywhere
I find that it does the opposite… It starts to dry in a weird direction and no amount of styling or products fix it.
I like mine messier/bedhead-ier i guess haha
I wish I could pull off that style! My hair only seems to hold the “weird kinks” and not the “effortlessly tousled” looks ಠ_ಠ
Try a toucque hat sometimes and update, wear like 20 minutes and shake a few times once in a while
Touque* (or tuque or toque)
Pretty much any spelling that doesn’t have a c will work
Touqché
PSA for anyone with dandruff. Leaving your hair wet for too long could potentially make the problem worse.
Speaking of dandruff, it took me way too long to find out I don’t really have dandruff, just a dry scalp. That’s why the “dandruff”, like all my other health issues, just disappear in warmer climates.
TIL dandruff isn’t just a dry scalp!
I tried to link to the section on dandruff… It’s in the table of contents and almost 2/3 of the way down the page
If you have curly hair, it draws out the moisture without destroying the lock pattern.
I think it’s the added warmth. Like when you deep condition your hair but put an extra bag or what have you to trap the heat.
What are the purported benefits of incorporating heat? Increased effectiveness: Incorporating heat into your deep conditioning treatment can help to increase its effectiveness, allowing the conditioning ingredients to penetrate more deeply and provide greater benefits to the hair.
Improved hydration: The added heat can help to open up the hair cuticles, which can improve the overall hydration of the hair.
Better product absorption: The heat can also help to improve the absorption of the deep conditioning treatment, making it easier for the curls to retain the benefits of the treatment over time.
Maybe the towel helps remove minerals from “hard” water.
