Moreover, wet hair is more vulnerable, and drying with a towel can damage its structure.
The longer your hair is in a towel, the more moisture it loses.
As a result, they are more likely to break, frizz and become damaged.
Experts advise drying your hair with a towel after washing for no more than five minutes.
