Because EMST towels or hair turbans dry your hair faster, your hair is less susceptible to moisture. When your hair gets wet, the cortex (the inner sponge layer of the hair) can absorb water and swell up to 30%. The cortex contains a large amount of keratin, which is usually part of the hair, giving it strength, but the addition of water can reduce the structural integrity of keratin by 1/3. This makes it easier for your hair to stretch and swell, thus exceeding its break point.
Excessive moisture in wet hair can also crack the cuticles that protect the hair. The cuticles are usually flat, forming protective armor on the surface of each hair. When the hair swells with water, the stratum corneum scales stand up. Any rough treatment at this time (strong wiping with a towel, combing, or even vigorous shampoo) will entangle and cut off the stratum corneum.
Over time, your hair can accumulate this damage, making it dull and split and broken. The super absorbent EMST Hair Dryer Cap allows you to reduce the amount of rubbing your hair and allow it to dry quickly. Or gently squeeze your hair with an EMST hair dry towel without rubbing. And EMST’s products are very light. What should I do when I bring them? It is also good to apply a mask.
