The most annoying thing about washing hair in summer is not washing, but blowing. After washing my hair wet, I used a hair dryer to blow it for half a day - the hot air made my scalp hot, and just after taking a shower, I was sweating all over again, which was like washing for nothing. Don't blow it, blowing on the air conditioner while your hair is wet can easily cause headaches, and you have to wait for one or two hours to air dry naturally. Before going to bed, your hair hasn't dried completely, and the next day your hairstyle is a mess.

In fact, making hair dry faster does not require a high-power hair dryer. Just do one more thing before wiping the hair, and the hair will dry twice as fast, reducing the time it takes to turn on the hair dryer by half. What makes hair dry twice as fast is not a more expensive hair dryer. Instead, use a dry towel or an old cotton T-shirt, wrap it around your hair, press it to absorb water, and then blow dry the surface moisture.
Remember: Do not rub back and forth, gently press like pinching a sponge. Ten people blow their hair to sweat, and nine of them blow their hair directly under dripping water. Drying up the surface water before blowing, the workload of the hair dryer is reduced by half, and the time is naturally shortened by half.

Why do you suck it dry first and then blow it, which is much faster than blowing it directly? When hair is wet, moisture is present on the surface of the hair and inside the fibers. A hair dryer needs to evaporate the surface water before it can dry the inside. Using a towel to first absorb the freely flowing water on the surface, the hair will no longer drip, and the hair dryer only needs to deal with the residual moisture inside the fibers, reducing the workload by half.
Principle: A hair dryer is used to "roast" water, not hair. The essence of a hair dryer is to dry wet hair by heating and evaporating the moisture on the hair. If the hair is still dripping, most of the heat from the hair dryer is wasted on evaporating this' free water '. What really needs to be dried is the bound water absorbed inside the hair fibers, which is the culprit that makes hair damp and difficult to dry. After using a dry towel to absorb the surface moisture, the hair no longer drips water, and the hair dryer directly enters the "drying mode", greatly improving efficiency. Moreover, pressing the towel to absorb water is a physical process and does not harm the hair. If rubbed back and forth, it will cause the hair scales to curl up, making it easy for the hair to become frizzy and tangled after drying. Using old cotton T-shirts is better than towels because the T-shirt fabric is finer and softer, absorbs water faster, and has a smooth surface without damaging the hair scales. Many hair salons use microfiber towels for the same reason.
Suck away the surface water before blowing, hair dries twice as fast and also protects hair scales. Old T-shirts are better to use than towels. After washing your hair, do one more minute to press and absorb water. Turn off the hair dryer for five minutes less. It won't dry your scalp or sweat, and your hair will be smooth and not frizzy.

How to operate it specifically? After washing your hair, use your hands to gently wipe away any excess water from the roots to the ends of your hair, and then shake off any water that can be removed from your hands. The first step is to stop dripping hair. Wrap and press with a dry towel or old T-shirt, do not rub. Take a dry towel or an old pure cotton T-shirt and spread it out, hang your hair down and wrap it. Gently press from the roots of the hair, squeezing out the moisture like a sponge and sucking it away. Never rub your hair back and forth. Rubbing your hair will cause the scales to curl up, and when it dries, the hair will become rough and tangled. After pressing once, flip the towel or T-shirt over and press it again on a dry place. After two coats, the hair no longer drips water and only feels damp to the touch. The hair dryer should be heated first and then cooled down. It should be at least 15 centimeters away from the scalp to absorb moisture before turning on the hair dryer. The hot air should be blown until 70-80% dry, and then replaced with cold or warm air until completely dry. The hair dryer should be placed 15-20 centimeters away from the hair and not attached to the scalp. First, blow from the roots of the hair. If the hair is thick, blow in layers. Pinch the top layer and blow the bottom layer first. Blowing layer by layer is much faster than blowing the whole hair.

If you don't want to use a hair dryer, use a T-shirt to dry your hair until it doesn't drip, then spread it out. Sit in a ventilated place and turn on a fan to blow natural air. It can still be fully blown in about half an hour, which is twice as fast as drying it wet. After washing your hair, press and absorb water for an extra minute. Turn off the hair dryer for five minutes less. Your scalp will not dry or sweat, and your hair will be smooth and shiny.
