To Towel Dry or Not To Towel Dry...?

A while back I saw a tip on Pinterest saying that you should use a cotton t-shirt to dry your hair rather then a towel. I skimmed past the pin and forgot about it, until I saw it again months later. After deciding to start up this blog I figured I should give this t-shirt thing a try. 
I started with the t-shirt (actually I used pajama shorts, lol) and two days later I used my trusty towel to dry my hair. My hair completely freaks out if I wash it every day. I have to say I really wasn't expecting there to be any difference between a shirt and a towel, actually that's not true I was expecting my towel to be better then a shirt.




The shorts worked really well for me as I was able to stretch the elastic and tie it with a hair tie then tuck it under and I used a hair claw to secure the back. I kept it on my head for about an hour then took it out completely expecting my hair to still be soaked since the shorts were. But, as you can see it was really pretty dry, still a little damp but not that bad at all.




Now for my towel wrap.....


Again, I left the wrap in for an hour something I had never done before because I usually pull my hair up right away and head out wherever I'm heading to which by the way is REALLY bad for your hair. Since I'd had my hair in the towel for an hour I expected my hair to be as dry as it was with the shorts if not dryer. 




As you can see my hair is a lot wetter then it was when I used the shorts, I was totally shocked! I decided to let my hair continue drying with out the towel as having my head wrapped for more then an hour whether with towel or shorts and I start to get a headache.




It took about another half hour for my hair to finish drying and I noticed more frizz and fly-aways then I had when I used the shorts. So bottom line, I'm ditching my not so trusty towel and switching over to the even more trusty cotton shorts. :)

I hope that this tip helps you out, and I highly recommend you do a bit of comparing on your own. Have a great night everyone and I'll see you again next week for another Tiff's Tipps!
