Just realised you're meant to pat dry your hair after showering... (lemmy.world)

Made a massive difference when I started pat drying my hair, it became more softer and smoother instead of roughly and vigorously rub drying my hair, making my hair dry... I feel like this should be common sense but apparently not to me since I found out about this just recently 😅

Is that an actual problem? My barbers always told me that I have very thick hair, so I never thought about how rubbing might affect it.

I guess that that is more of a problem when you have thin hair, right?

    It depends what you mean by "thick" and "thin." If by "thick" you mean that the individual hair strands are coarse rather than fine, then yes, that kind of hair can be more resistant to this kind of damage. But if by "thick" you mean you have a lot of hair (high density) as opposed to sparser hair (low density), that doesn't mean much one way or another because it's the coarseness/fineness of the hairs that really matters.

    Either way, it makes sense to be gentle with your hair if you're interested in having it look nice.
