This will keep your styled hair in place for days

By

Is your hair nicely blow-dried or have you finally got the perfect curl? Delightful. When you go to sleep, it is anything but as it was the day before. I have been wearing my hair twisted in a scrunchie every night for quite some time now, all for that nice twist at the bottom. One drawback: I wear the elastic quite loose so it doesn't damage my hair, so there's a chance that in the morning it will be all saggy and the twist will have become more like a kink. When I asked my friend Laura, with the most beautiful hair, how she does that with her hair, she tipped a silk turban. So, apart from making your hair less in friction with your pillow, making it less likely to get greasy, less damaged and less frizzy, it also keeps your curls in the right shape. Also ideal if your hair is fragile, because then such a turban is a godsend. It might not exactly be very sexy, but then again, the saying ‘as long as your hair looks good’ is there for a reason. Check out the video below on how best to twist your hair into the turban.

If you want to do it even better, it starts with drying your hair. And I don't mean with a hair dryer, but rather with the towel you wrap your hair in after shampooing. Because there is plenty of room for improvement in that too. After all, a thick cotton towel is not necessarily the very best option for your hair. A microfibre, special hair towel is already kinder to your locks, and do you really want the very best? Then US brand Aquis has one that started developing a next-level towel to dry your hair 30 years ago. This mega high-tech towel is engineered to dry your hair faster due to a technology that ensures water is removed from your hair faster. It makes your hair shine even more, reduces knots and tangles, keeps your hair five times stronger, and it works antibacterial. No wonder they won an Allure Award (an important award in the beauty industry). It may be an investment, but it's one for a very long time, and anything for the most beautiful hair, right?
