Hair Drying Techniques for the Guys
Myriad Methods For Drying Hair
Sopping-wet hair soaking your shirt and dripping all over the damn place is annoying (and potentially hazardous). So whether you’re executing the water-exit-windmill-hair-whip, or simply bathing regularly, it pays to be familiar with techniques for drying hair.
Since you don’t want to risk it, and since we didn’t know when we first grew long hair, we’ve taken the liberty of demonstrating several common hair drying techniques. Each effective in its own right, you can decide for yourself which works best for your hair.
The T-Shirt Wrap
Should you wrap your hair in a towel? You can, but you’re better off using a soft, cotton t-shirt. The material will be easier on your hair, plus a t-shirt will provide a little extra stretch.
Wrapping your hair up is great for soaking up the excess moisture, but it won’t leave your hair completely dry. Think of it as a first step, after which you can let your hair down to air dry, or pull out the blowdryer to finish the job.
In a down-to-earth, practical tutorial, El Rubio demonstrates three wrapping techniques using a t-shirt for drying hair.
Picking Up The Blowdryer
A familiar scenario for most of us, here’s where the blowdryer comes in. You might be hesitant to pick a blowdryer at first. It feels uncomfortable, it’s loud, and you’re not entirely sure how to use it. Fear no more my brothers, we can use this tool with precision, and it can be very helpful when the situation calls for it.
Taking care not to point a loaded blowdryer, El Moreno breaks down his first experience blowdrying his hair…and the results speak for themselves.
“I have to wash my hair. I have very little time. I do not want my hair to be wet.”
Combination Method, Full Routine
In a provocative, full-length, in-depth tutorial, El Rubio reveals his full hair drying routine, using a combination of the t-shirt wrap and blowdryer, while implementing some additional tools and hair products.
Featuring an immaculate omelette flip, a hot cup of coffee, and a spicy shower exit scene, he delivers his most complete and refined performance to-date, culminating with two of his go-to long hairstyles.
