To dry your hair with a hair wrap, you generally follow these steps:
- After washing your hair, gently squeeze out excess water. Avoid rubbing, which can cause frizz.
- Flip your hair forward so it's hanging down.
- Place the wide end of the hair wrap (or towel) at the nape of your neck.
- Gather your hair into the wrap, twisting the fabric as you go.
- Once your hair is completely wrapped, secure the end of the wrap at the nape of your neck, usually with a button, loop, or tie depending on the wrap design.
- Leave the wrap on for 30-60 minutes, or until your hair is damp-dry. The length of time depends on your hair thickness and desired dryness.
- Remove the wrap and allow your hair to air dry the rest of the way, or style as desired.
Essentially, you're using the absorbent material of the wrap to draw moisture away from your hair, speeding up the drying process and helping to prevent frizz.
