How to dry hair

Contributed by Wind

"Yuuko's correct way of hair care" (written by YAMASHITA Yuuko; published by Furukawa Shobo) says that wrong way of drying hair is as follows:

• (1) scrubbing your hair with towel.
• (2) winding your long hair on towel and wringing it, because cuticles easily peel away under wet condition of hair.
• (3) blowing hot wind at the same point from drier to your hair because it get scalded by such hot temperature.

She says that correct way of drying hair is as follows:

• (1) wrapping your hair with towel, not scrubbing, but gently patting the towell.
• (2) tucking your bottom of hair with towel because moisture naturally gathers round it.
• (3) if you use drier, at first dry your scalp with raising roots of hair, then blow wind from your neck.

Another book also says that hot wind from drier is bad for hair.

A well absorbent towel

"I don't like drier"
"I believe that natural dry is the best"

If you think so, I can recommend you a towel with waffle cloth made from cotton or hemp. "Pleasure of bath" (written by MAEDA Kyoko) says that the towel is very good absorbent. In order to get the towel, buy waffle cloth and sew it.

I tried to make the towel by myself, and found that my hair dried faster with it than before with other kind of towel. Above all, this way of dry is very economic.
