Customer Reviews

Works well
I have very thick wavy hair and never blow dry it because it ends up looking like a haystack, so I need a towel that will remove as much moisture from my hair as possible after I wash it. I bought one of these to try it and loved it so much I bought more. It works exactly as advertised, and my hair dries in record time.

A couple of other things to keep in mind. The towel itself dries very quickly, so I wash it out by hand, hang it in the bathroom and it is dry the next day. Also, it folds up very small so can be easily packed in a suitcase or even an overnight bag when travelling.

too small for head, perfect for kitchen
I bought my Mom one of these because as a frail old lady she just can't handle a big thick plush terry towel. She *adores* these microfiber towels! However both she and I agreed that this particular size is just barely big enough to wrap around the head, and I happen to have a rather small head for an adult. However we had just been discussing the sorry state of our kitchen towels, and how perfect this particular one would be right down to matching our color scheme. (Caveat: The color of the actual towel is a hint more 'dust roseish' than the rich orangeish color shown on the Amazon webpage.) I find that I like having a seperate towel for my hair but this size just doesn't quite make me comfortable and it would have been useless when my hair was waist-length. So when I can afford to buy more of this particular size, they will be used in our kitchen.

Works but not quite as well as I hoped
My hair is shoulderlength and on the thicker side. Normally it takes about 3 1/2-4 hours for my hair to air dry. With this towel it is about 2 1/2 - 3 hours. So it does cut down the time but not as much as I had hoped. Maybe I was expecting a miracle.

It does work well for wrapping a turban. It stays!

The price is a disadvantage. They aren't cheap. But if you are comitted to letting your hair air dry instead of using a blow dryer, which I am, then at times any quicker method is welcomed.
