1 Prepare a soft towel or T-shirt. For the initial drying of your hair, it is best to use a very soft towel or even an old T-shirt instead of coarse and hard towels. With a soft material, you don't have to worry about tangling or damaging your hair.
  • When used to dry hair with a soft towel, the hair cuticles maintain their smooth position, so that the hair dries out in shiny wavy or even curly curls. When you use a coarse towel, your hair tends to frizzy.
  • You can purchase special towels designed for drying your hair. Just be sure to make sure they are made of soft material. Try looking for these towels at beauty supply stores or online stores.
  • Consider using microfiber towels.
  • 2 Squeeze wet hair out gently with your hands. As soon as you turn off the shower, water will flow from your hair. Run your hands through your hair, gently wringing out excess moisture. It will be easier for you to towel dry your hair if no water drips from it.
    • Do not twist your hair to wring it out, as you can easily damage it. Gather your hair in separate sections very carefully and simply squeeze out any excess water. It is best to do this while you are still in the shower.
  • 3 Blot and towel dry your hair. Take a section of hair to gently blot it and wring it out with a towel. Move from roots to tips. Repeat the process with each section of hair until all hair is dry. Your curls will still be damp, but no water will drip from them.
    • Do not twist your hair or squeeze it too hard. Use a towel to gently wick away excess moisture.
    • Do not rub your hair with a towel, as this can cause it to curl and frizz naughty. Just wring them out and blot.
  • 4 Use a dry section of the towel to continue blotting your hair. When you are finished towel-drying your hair for the first time, you can use another dry towel or use a dry section of the same towel to blot your hair again. This step is optional, but will keep your hair as dry as possible with just a towel.
    • As your hair dries further, it tends to become more tangled, so be very careful not to rub your hair with a towel.
    • When your hair is almost dry, you can start styling it.
  • Method 2 of 3: Towel Long Hair

    1. 1 Prepare a large, soft towel. A towel wrap is a good approach for long, curly or thick hair that tends to retain moisture for a long time. You can wrap your hair in a towel while you do the rest of the preparation for the day ahead. Then you can release them and lay them in a slightly damp state. To wrap your hair, you need a large, soft towel long enough.
      • It is possible to purchase towels specially designed for this purpose.Look for them at a beauty supply store, or check your online store for a wider selection.
    2. 2 Gently squeeze excess water out of your hair. Immediately after showering, gently squeeze excess water out of your hair with your hands. Do not twist them, just squeeze them out to get rid of the flowing water. This will dry your hair faster.
    3. 3 Lean down and throw a towel over the back of your head. Make sure all of your hair hangs straight down. Comb through them with your fingers if necessary to arrange them properly. Apply the towel horizontally to the back of your head so that the edge of the towel is directly in the hairline at your neck.
      • Make sure all the hair hangs down in the same direction. This will allow you to gently wrap the towel around them. If some strands are twisted in a random direction, it can end up in a messy hairstyle when the hair dryer is complete.
    4. 4 Pull the ends of the towel over your forehead. Keeping your head tilted, grab your hair in a towel with your hands and pull the ends together so that they meet approximately in the center of your forehead. Everything should look like you have gathered a high ponytail and wrapped it in a towel.
    5. 5 Twist the ends of the towel. Starting straight from your forehead, curl the ends of the towel in one direction. Both ends of the towel and your hair should be curled together. When the towel is rolled up, place the rolled section over your head.
      • Do not curl the towel too much to avoid damaging the curls and making them prone to breakage. The tightness of the curl should be just enough to keep the towel on your head.
      • The end of the rolled towel can be additionally secured with a hair clip.
    6. 6 Leave the towel on your hair for 20-30 minutes. During the specified time, the towel will absorb moisture from your curls. This is a gentle way to dry long hair. When you're ready, remove the towel and style your slightly damp hair.

    Method 3 of 3: Styling towel-dried hair

    1. 1 Use a wide-toothed comb to detangle your hair. Never brush wet hair with a brush, as it can break it off or make it unruly and frizzy. Instead of brushing, gently comb through the hair with a wide-toothed comb, starting at the ends and working up to the roots.
      • If you have very curly or curly hair, you may not need to comb it at all. Brushing your hair will separate strands and increase the amount of frizz. Experiment with your own hair to determine which styling method works best for you.
      • Regardless of your hair type, you need to detangle it. Even if you don't want to use a flat comb, use at least your fingers.
    2. 2 Use a no-rinse conditioner or similar. If your hair has a lot of tangle to make it easier to comb through your curls, you may want to add extra smoothing with a no-rinse conditioner, gel and oil.
    3. 3 Style your hair and let it dry naturally to the end. Part your hair with a parting in your preferred place and style it in your usual way. Use styling gel, mousse, or styling spray to lift your hair for extra volume and texture. Let your hair dry completely. You are now ready to go out.
    4. 4 In a special case, finish styling with a hairdryer. You can use a hairdryer to finish drying your hair after a towel while keeping the strands smooth and shiny. Treat your hair with a heat protectant first to protect it from heat as much as possible. Then blow dry all sections of hair in succession using a round brush for smooth and shiny strands.
