The tension from twisting hair into a towel or vigorously rubbing it dry pulls some hairs out at the root. Hair is damaged from top to bottom during normal towel-drying methods. People with curly hair have discovered the plopping method, and it works for most other hair types as well. Lay a long-sleeved cotton shirt on a flat surface. Lean over to rest wet hair in the middle of the shirt. Carefully roll the shirt up and wrap it around the hair. The sleeves of the shirt go around the neck and shoulders to hold the shirt in place. Plopping dries hair without damaging it or pulling out individual strands.
