The towel keeps your hair from drying so much that frizz "sets" before you even grab your hair dryer, and it also swaddles your strands so humidity in the bathroom/bedroom from your shower can't get to it. And when you finally are ready to whip off the towel and blow dry, try to do it in a less-humid place in your home versus right there in the steamy zone.

How long do YOU leave your towel-turban on after a shower? Will you try leaving it on until you blow dry now that you've read Nathaniel's tip?|
