  • Question
    What if my towel falls off repeatedly?
    Community Answer
    The towel shouldn't fall off if you tighten it properly, so make sure you're holding it as tight as you can while wrapping it. You can also use some kind of clip to keep it together if need be.
  • Question
    Why do I have to comb my hair first?
    Community Answer
    If you don't, then your hair will get extremely tangled in the towel, making it much more difficult to brush or comb later.
  • Question
    Will it still work if I brush my hair when conditioning instead of after the shower is over?
    Community Answer
    Yes, this should be fine (though I would use a comb instead of a brush).
  • Question
    Is there another way to dry my hair well?
    Community Answer
    You could blow dry it, or just wait for it to air dry. If you’re in a rush, blow drying would probably be best.
  • Question
    What if my hair goes past the towel and the ends hang out?
    Community Answer
    That's alright -- as long as the majority of your hair is covered, you should be fine. You can manually dry the ends of your hair with a smaller towel.

    Is there another way to do this?

    An alternative is using hooded towels. You could put on the hood while your hair is in the back, and then use the rest to twist your hair. Then, just wrap it around your head.
  • Question
    What effect does not combing my hair before the towel have on permed wavy hair? Is it better if I don't comb?
    Community Answer
    Your hair will get tangled If you don't comb it.
  • Question
    I have read somewhere that wrapping a towel turban-style is not desirable because it pulls at the ends of the hair, weakening the roots. How true is this?
    Community Answer
    It's not true at all. Unless you’re tugging at the hair, no root damage should be occurring.
  • Question
    Why should I use a comb instead of a brush when wrapping my hair in a towel?
    Community Answer
    Because a comb is more effective in removing tangles, and they work for pretty much any length of hair.
  • Question
    How tight does a towel need to be when wrapping my hair?
    Community Answer
    The towel is supposed to be comfortable while on your head. It should not be pulling your hair, but make sure it's secure and doesn't fall.
