Hairstyling Tip of the Day: Don’t Over-Use Your Towel! When you get out of the shower, pat your hair dry with a towel but don’t wrap it up or let it sit in the towel for long. The roughness of towels will cause the cuticle to open, leaving your hair frizzy and over-dryed! Instead, pat your hair dry so it’s not dripping, then let it air dry for 5 or 10 minutes before blowdrying
