Never share towels with other members of the household. Wash towels at least once per week or every 3-4 uses. If you are showering after athletics or a physically demanding job, wash them more often. Wash towels at high heat. Use bleach when possible to kill bacteria. Replace towels as soon as they begin to fade or smell musty.
Hold your head upside down. Place the long side of the towel along the base of your head at the hairline. Close the towel around your hair and gather it at the top of your forehead. Twist the towel until it has gathered all of your hair and shortened the length of the towel, usually two or three turns. Take this tail you have created over the top of your head and tuck the tail into the edge of the towel at the base of your head.
