In this article, you can learn how to wrap your hair in a towel no matter what hair type you have. You can also wrap your hair on the side of your head if it is long and thick. Wrapping your hair in a towel will keep your wet hair from wetting your clothes and leave your hands free to get ready for your day while your hair is drying. The towel will also absorb moisture from your hair and keep your hair out of the way. Plus, this is a good way to keep your head warm after taking a shower in winter.

Method 1 of 2: Wrap the towel on top of your head

1. Choose a towel that is large enough. The towel should be long enough to fall over your shoulders when it hangs down from your head. Also, make sure it's wide enough to cover the area from your neck to your hairline. If the towel is a lot wider than your head, you can fold it in half so that it fits better around your head. It's a good idea to use a separate hair towel that you only use to dry your hair. It is best to use a soft microfiber towel or an old, clean T-shirt to dry your hair as these substances soften your hair.
   • Use a shorter towel if you have short hair.
   • Some people like to wrap their hair in a plush towel because it feels very soft and comfortable. However, curly-haired people prefer a microfiber towel as it is less rubbing against the hair cuticle.
   • You can also wrap your hair in a soft T-shirt. The softer fabric, like a microfibre towel, will rub less against your hair cuticles than a soft towel and will also make your hair softer.
   • You can also buy a special hair towel at a department store. A hair towel is made of absorbent microfibre, is less thick and is easier to wrap around your head than a regular towel.
2. Leave the towel around your head for 30 to 60 minutes. This should allow the towel enough time to absorb any excess moisture from your hair. If your hair is still wet after an hour, wrap another dry towel around your head until your hair is only slightly damp.
3. Put all your hair behind your head. Grab your hair and pull it back so that it hangs on your back. This method is a great alternative if you get a headache when you wrap your hair on top of your head.
4. Leave the towel on your head for 30 to 60 minutes, or until your hair is only slightly damp. If you have thick hair that is still wet after an hour, wrap another dry towel around your head. Wrap the second towel around your head until your hair is dry enough to air dry or blow dry.
