A HAIRDRESSER has revealed that there\u2019s a strict guide of what to do once you\u2019ve washed your hair \u2013 and rubbing your locks with a towel is not part of the equation.<\/p>\n
Rachel Valentine has perfected her technique over the years and learnt the do\u2019s and don\u2019ts of what can negatively affect your hair.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
She explained: \u201cThis is a really simple little routine of what to do with your hair after it\u2019s just been washed.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore we do anything, we just need to remove as much water as we can. If we\u2019re going to apply a product, we don\u2019t want to be dripping wet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rachel then demonstrated the right and wrong way of drying your hair with a towel.<\/p>\n
As she did so, she explained: \u201cTo do this, just make sure you\u2019re gently squeezing the water out \u2013 try not to rub your hair like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rachel then mimicked what plenty of people do, as she vigorously rubbed the towel backwards and forwards, tugging at the end of her hair in the process.<\/p>\n
Rachel then said: \u201cIt\u2019s going to cause damage and it can also make it really knotty, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Instead, she continued to squeeze the excess moisture out, before reaching for a must-have product \u2013 leave-in conditioner.<\/p>\n
She explained: \u201cYou must apply some sort of leave in conditioner.<\/p>\n
