Washing your hair can be a laborious task at the best of times. Between shampooing, conditioning, masking and combing out any tangles, the process can add precious minutes to our already stretched morning regimes, and that’s not even to mention the time required to dry it and style it. Because whether you blow-dry your hair at home or leave it to air-dry, many of us are yet to perfect a method that is convenient, quick and kind to our hair and scalp health.
While many of us believe that drying our hair begins with the moment we pick up a hair dryer, there’s a new school of thought that focuses on the moment you step out of the shower. Contrary to grabbing a bath towel to rough up your roots and leaving lengths and ends to drip, hair wraps are the expertly designed solution to fast track drying that’s both convenient and kind to hair.
The wraps, which are cut into shape to best fit around your head, usually come with a button at the back, allowing you to secure it in place, leaving you free to go about your morning regime without having to constantly readjust. Plus, the wraps are made from micro-fibre, cotton or bamboo, which can offer a super absorbent to traditional towelling to remove excess moisture from strands in quicktime, lightweight so as to not weigh heavy on your head, and friction-free, which helps to keep hair smooth and healthy.
Perfect if you want to give your hair a break from heat styling, or if you have curly or textured hair that looks best when left to dry naturally, a hair wrap might just be the simple but effective beauty accessory you didn’t know you needed.
