When hair is wet it absorbs water and swells, which makes the outermost layer called cuticle lift up, making it more fragile. So drying your hair aggressively with the towel can lead to split ends and damaged hair. That is why it is advisable to be gentle with your hair when it's wet to keep it healthy.

  • Are you using the same towel for the body and hair? If yes, then avoid doing that. Using large towels can damage your hair as they become heavier due to water soaked in them.

  • Rubbing your hair aggressively with the towel can lead to frizzy hair. Avoid doing that to reduce frizz
  • Do not twist your hair with the towel as it can weaken the hair and cause hair breakage
