We've all tried different shampoosand conditioners to help us when it comes to damaged hair. We've also tried to reduce how much heat we use to style our hair, from drying to straightening to curling.
However, a microfiber hair towel could be what you need to improve the health and appearance of your hair.
Sometimes it can seem easier to chuck your hair in a DIY towel turban after your shower, but it can cause damaged from pulling and tugging at your roots. Why do it yourself when there are towels made to do it for you? Microfiber hair towels are actually less effort, and will better the condition of your hair.
Benefits of using a microfiber hair towel
The main perk of microfiber hair towels is how well they absorb water. This makes drying your hair a lot simpler as the fabric will soak the excess water without the need to rub your hair. Doing this will cause less friction which means limiting the frizzy hair once dried.
Another benefit is there will be less breakage - using the softer fabric and not needing to pull or tug at the hair will cause less tangling. As the microfiber is gentle on the hair, it means there is less manipulation of the hair to dry it, and ultimately it keeps your hair healthier and longer.
Many people struggle to cut out using heat on their hair as it is a quick solution to dry it and they don't always have time to let it air dry. However, microfiber hair towels are a good alternative to this because they speed up the drying time with how well they absorb the water. Gently pat your hair to soak up any water, and leave your hair in the towel for 10 minutes to absorb the remaining residue.
All in all, using a microfiber hair towel does not completely dry out your hair like other towels and hair dryers, leaving your hair smooth and manageable to style.

Tips on how to keep your hair healthy
Trim - try to get your hair cut every six to eight weeks to keep the ends of your hair in good condition.
Shampoo and conditioner - the best way to use shampoo is to focus on the roots and scalp to keep it clean. However, you should focus your conditioner on the lengths and ends of your hair rather than the roots.
Oils - find the right oil for your hair apply. If your hair is dry/curly then it is best to apply oils after washing while the hair is still wait so it keeps in the moisture. If you have thin/straight hair then apply the oil before shampoo.
Air dry - when possible allow your hair to air dry as it is less damaging. Use the microfibre hair towel to absorb some of the water and then let it sit to dry.
Avoid heat - try to cut down on the amount of heat you use on your hair - straighteners, hair dryer - but when using, apply heat protectant spray to reduce breakage.
