7. No More Frizzy Hair With This Shower Hack

Does your hair suffer from major frizz? It’s probably because of the texture on your terrycloth towel. Instead, start drying it with a cotton t-shirt instead of a terrycloth towel. The towels cause way too much friction which, in turn, results in a frizzy head.

And instead of the rubbing action you usually use to dry your hair, simply scrunch your hair with an old cotton tee. It will absorb excess moisture. And the t-shirt is way gentler on your hair too.

Some of your shower products will come packed in metallic containers and bottles. Because of their prolonged stay in the shower, they might get rusty surfaces. To prevent this, keep rust out of your shower by painting the bottom of your shaving cream with clear nail polish before sitting it down.
