This should help to loosen up the stiffness. High heat will certainly make your towels fluffier, but it may also damage the integrity of the fabric. You can also alternate between air drying and high-heat tumble-drying. Try partially drying towels on the line, then finishing them up in the dryer for extra warmth and fluff. After drying, put the towel in for another round – but select the wrinkle-free option, if available. This will fluff the towel, which should help soften the fabric. Give each towel a thorough shake when it comes out of the wash, and also when it comes out of the dryer. This should help keep the fabric fluffy. When you tumble-dry your towels, pop a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls into the mix before closing the door. As the dry cycle rumbles, the balls will bounce around and pummel your towels. This should work the fibers and help soften up the stiff bits.

SUMMARY: Try air-drying your towels outside. Tumble-dry on a low heat. Shake out your towels. Add dryer balls or tennis balls to the load.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A volumizing mousse can help boost the volume in your hair when you blow dry. Squeeze a quarter-sized amount into the palm of your hand, and apply it to the roots of towel-dried hair to give them extra lift when you blow dry. Add a little more mousse if you don’t feel like your hair is evenly saturated. Be sure to choose an alcohol-free mousse to avoid drying out your locks. When you’re blow drying your hair, a round brush is a great tool for adding volume. Use the brush to pull up at the roots of your hair and run the dryer along the sections to lock in extra height and body as you’re drying.  If you have fine hair, use a round brush with a metal or ceramic core to create the most volume. Keep your dryer on a low to medium setting, and keep moving the dryer around so that your hair doesn’t overheat in any 1 spot. If your hair is fragile, use a brush with a ceramic coating over the core. The ceramic will help distribute the heat more evenly and minimize damage to your hair. You can also substitute velcro rollers for a round brush. Place them at the roots of your hair all around the crown, and blow dry your hair to add volume. If you have natural curls or twists, attach the concentrator nozzle to your blow dryer. When your hair is already dry, begin lifting medium size sections of your hair at the roots and hitting them on low heat for approximately 10 seconds. Repeat the process over your entire head for bigger hair. After you've hit all of your roots with heat, add even more volume to your natural hair by flipping your head upside down and gently combing through just the roots with a wide tooth comb. Flip your head right side up when you are done and allow your curls to fall naturally. When your hair is mostly dry, bend over so your head is upside down. If possible, bend over far enough so that your head is at knee-level. Gravity will help lift the roots to boost volume as you finish drying your hair.  Focus the blow dryer on your roots when your head is upside down to get the extra height and lift. If you have bangs, make sure to dry them completely right side up before flipping your head upside down to finish. If you have trouble bending over really far, try creating volume by flipping your hair side-to-side as you pass the dryer forward and back over your hair.

SUMMARY: Apply mousse to your hair before blow drying. Work with a round brush. Use the concentrator nozzle to focus on the roots of dry natural hair. Finish drying your hair with your head upside down.

Earplugs or ear protectors will also reduce the risk of hearing loss. If you can’t, lay it across sturdy workbenches and you can saw the nails off using a horizontal motion. The smaller horizontal slats, usually 2 x 4 wood, should be nailed to these pieces to create the top surface of the pallet. You will need to cut through the nails along the vertical pieces where the horizontal and vertical slats meet.
