Towel-drying your hair is a good idea if it helps you cut down on blow-drying. But the act of rubbing your damp strands with a coarse, rough bath towel can cause split ends to travel up the hair shaft, and it may even create small holes along that hair shaft, weakening your hair. A simple solution: Switch out your towel for a t-shirt or microfiber towel, which help absorb excess water but aren’t abrasive and which are absorbent and way easier on your hair. You can try to gently squeeze, rather than rub, as you dry.
