Luckily for those on a healthy hair journey, we are presented with many options to get the job done. The right option on the other hand, is dictated by how your hair reacts. That being said, I have tried many options over the years as a way to test out the best way to dry my hair and minimize the damage.
Some options provide faster results and others are healthier alternatives. While drying your hair may not seem like a big thing, you have to remember that every strand counts! If health is what you are after, think about the necessary precautions you must take.
Hair Dryer
The Hair Dryer has been a go to option for me for years. When I was relaxed, it was all I ever used. This option is the quickest and most convenient way to get your hair dry.
Air Drying is another healthy choice for drying your hair. This is the method I always use after an initial towel dry. It is beneficial to those who do wash and go and want to keep their curls in tact.The downside to this is that it takes FOREVER to dry. If I Air dry my hair without the initial towel dry, my hair will stay wet for more than 24 hours!
Towel drying is a method that has been around for the longest. Depending on the kind of towel you use will determine how much water is absorbed from your hair.
