You may not know this, but there is a high chance that you are unleashing a world of damage on your hair while brushing and drying it. Here are a few things you need to keep in mind once you step out of the shower:
Use a microfiber towel: Pre-dry your hair with a microfiber towel once you step out of the shower. Avoid using a terry cloth towel as it can tangle your hair too much, increase frizz, and cause it to break.
Avoid blow drying: The heat from blow dryers damages your hair just as much as heat styling tools do. It is best to apply a leave-in conditioner all over your damp hair and let it air-dry.
Blow dry only after your hair is partially dry: If you absolutely cannot stop using a blow dryer, make this one simple adjustment. Blow dry your hair once it is 70% dry. This gives time for your hair cuticles to close up and will reduce the heat damage.
