Tips to Keep Your Hair Looking Amazing After 40

5. Stop aggressive towel-drying

If your after-shower routine includes the classic hair flip and frantic towel rub, you're likely creating more damage than you realize. Your hair is in its most fragile state while wet, and the typical bathroom towel is too rough to rely on. A finely woven microfiber towel will get the job done faster and without as many strand casualties. That said, rubbing is still discouraged. Utilize a gentle twist or wrap to preserve your hair's density and elasticity.
