Ditch the towel and use cotton T shirt to dry your hair

It’s almost as if there’s a burst of confidence on a good hair day. Silky, shiny hair gets noticed everywhere and what’s more, it receives plenty of compliments too.

Now, we use different appliances and techniques to dry our hair right after shampooing it. But unknown to us, these methods might be doing more damage than good. If you want to retain the silk and the shine without using any beauty products, then here’s a simple home remedy that is very useful.

As soon as you shampoo your hair, use a cotton T-shirt to dry it. Scoop all your hair into this piece of clothing and remove it after a few hours.

Using a cotton T-shirt will retain all the moisture that’s present in wet hair. So when you take it off, you won’t find your hair dry and lifeless anymore. This method of doing it is much better than using a towel, which absorbs the moisture instead of absorbing excess water. This makes the hair frizzy.  

You can also leave the cotton T-shirt on all night and this will result in you having curls. However, this could be slightly uncomfortable. In any case, ensure that the T-shirt is 100 per cent cotton.
