11 Best things to do with your wet hair after a shower
There are a few tips that you should try after taking a shower that will change your hair game for the better:
1. Apply a leave-in conditioner on wet hair after shower
Drying your wet hair can take away all the moisture from the hair post shampoo application. So it’s very essential to apply something moisturising that stays in your hair for long even after drying and that’s what leave-in conditioners do.
They not only help to retain the moisture in the hair, but also smoothens and adds shine to the hair changing your hair to a healthy looking one.
2. Apply a hair serum on wet hair before using a dryer on it
If leave-in conditioners are too heavy for you as you might be having less volume of hair and an oily scalp, the alternative is to apply a lightweight hair serum to your wet hair in order to lock in the moisture and add that lustrous shine to the hair.
Choose one that’s non sticky and light and you won’t even realise there is actually anything in your hair.
3. Apply a hair mist on wet hair
Hair mists are like watery spray with added perfumes that makes your hair smell divine all day long, giving you an added confidence to go closer to your loved ones.
4. Wrap a towel gently around your wet hair
People do this the wrong way, actually in a harsh way. They twist hair tight with a towel and tie the towel tightly in a knot at the top of the head. But this is not what you should be doing as it can break your hair as wet hair is fragile.
Instead, just dab your hair with the towel and then loosely wrap the towel around your hair for some time before applying the dryer.
5. Wear a soft bonnet hooded dryer for curly hair
Soft bonnet hooded dryers are a blessing that helps to dry hair without any hassle in a minute. Just wear the head cap and turn on the heat setting and you are done in a blink. It helps to stop the flailing of hair which kinda looks very dissatisfying.
6. Do not brush your wet hair
As I have mentioned above, wet hair is very fragile and combing it instantly can cause breakage of the hair. So, wait until your hair is a bit dry before starting to brush.
7. Air drying or sun drying your hair is the best option
Applying any kind of heat to the hair can be damaging in the long run. So the best way to dry your hair is naturally in the sun or under the fan (if you have time for that).
8. When your hair is semi dry run a wide tooth comb through the hair
After semi drying your hair, take a wide tooth comb and start brushing your hair from the end to the tip. This is because if you start to comb from the tip, you will entangle your hair and your tangles will be worse than before.
9. Do not tie wet hair in high pony tails
If your hair is not completely dry, do not tie your wet hair in high pony tails as it can weigh down the hair and cause breakage.
10. Do not ever rub your hair with a towel, instead squeeze it
Rubbing your hair with the towel will break the hair and also cause frizzy hair. So just squeeze your hair with the towel to soak in excess moisture and then apply the dryer.
11. Always wear a heat protectant before applying the dryer or any heat styling irons
Heat from the dryer or the styling irons can cause dull frizzy hair that’s prone to breakage. So, just like sunscreen, do not ever forget to wear a heat protectant before applying any kind of heat to the hair.
