Why it works
Built for curly hair
Wrap and press instead of rubbing. Wet curls stay in their clumps instead of being scrubbed into frizz.
Half the drying time
Soft, extremely absorbent microfiber pulls water out fast, so wash day gets shorter and the blow dryer comes out less.
Stays on, hands free
Twist it into a turban and button it at the back. It stays put while you do your skincare, get dressed or chase the kids.
Outlasts cotton
Durable microfiber that won't fade and lasts much longer than ordinary cotton towels.
How to use it
Squeeze, don't rub
Squeeze the water out of your curls with your hands, ends up. Put your leave-in and styler in now, while hair is soaking wet.
Flip your head forward
Bend at the waist so all of your hair falls forward, and set the button end of the towel at the back of your neck.
Tuck every curl in
Fold the towel over your hair so every strand is inside, with no loose ends at the sides.
Twist and button
Twist the towel loosely toward the tapered end, flip it back over your head and hook the loop over the button. Loose, not wrung.
Leave it 10 to 20 minutes
Get dressed or do your skincare while it works. It stays put, so you can walk away from the mirror.
Unwrap while damp
Unhook the loop and lift the towel off without rubbing while your curls are still damp. Air-dry or diffuse from there.
Five reasons people keep one
Less frizz on wash day
Rubbing wet hair with a bath towel roughs up the cuticle, and that shows up as frizz once it dries. Wrapping and plopping skip the rub.
Curl definition, from our customers
In their words: “I love how they give my curls great definition and have really cut down on my drying time.”
Less heat on wet hair
Hair that comes out of the towel mostly dry spends less time under a blow dryer, which means less heat damage.
For the kids' curls too
One size fits all ages. One parent wrote: “I even use it on my toddler to dry his curls.”
No lint, no shedding
Super soft and odor-free. From a customer: “the towels don't shed or leave bits of microfiber in my hair when im done using them.”

Rated 5 out of 5
Not gonna lie, I initially thought it was ridiculous to buy these. (“I can twist a regular towel over my hair, how is this necessary? Pfffftttt.”) Cue my ocean-side vacay. The last day of the trip, we’re taking pics &, looking at the pics, I realize my hair went straight from beach waves to flyaway frizz. Wtf just happened?! I googled it, and sure enough, saltwater hates hair. Or vise versus. Needless to say, my fine hair was damaged. Flyaways EVERYWHERE. I began a regimen of respecting my hair & trying to get it back to a healthy state, without having to give up my highlights. This included a conditioning hair mask, an Aveda spray to help it dry faster, & these microfiber towels. Turns out, they’re gentle, soft, & absorbent, helping hair dry faster so there is less damage. (‘Cause even leaving your hair wet too long is damaging…who knew?! I mean, maybe you did, but I didn’t.) Two months later & a little hair growth, and I can tell my hair appreciates the measures I’ve taken. I’ve kept my highlights, while also making my hair healthier. Win-win!
Questions people ask
Is a microfiber towel good for curly hair?
Yes. Curly and coily hair frizzes when it's rubbed wet, and a microfiber towel lets you wrap, plop or press the water out instead. Curls dry in clumps with less frizz and breakage.
Can I plop with it?
It's built for the turban twist. Plopping works best with a long-sleeved T-shirt or a large flat towel you can tie at the back; our drying guide walks through both.
Microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt?
Both beat scrubbing with a bath towel. The microfiber towel is cut to wrap a head, twists into a turban and buttons at the back, so it stays on and holds a full head of curls without the corners flopping loose.
Can I use it on my child's hair?
Yes. It's one size and fits all ages. Squeeze the water out in the bath, wrap their curls loosely and let them play while it takes off the drip.
How big is the towel?
One size, 25 5/8 by 9 7/8 inches (65 x 25 cm), which fits all ages and holds long or thick hair.
How much faster does hair dry?
The soft microfiber is extremely absorbent and cuts your drying time in half. On thick type 4 hair it takes off the drip, then you air-dry or diffuse as usual.
Microfiber towel or a regular bath towel?
Microfiber, every time for curls. A bath towel is rough cotton loops that you end up rubbing through wet hair, which is where the frizz and breakage come from. This one wraps on, buttons at the back and pulls the water out while you get on with your morning. Teresa, verified buyer: “They work much better on hair than the regular towels... With the microfiber towels, I don't need to rub or pat the hair. I just put it on.”
What curlies are saying
Reviewers say the towels absorb quickly and cut drying time next to a regular bath towel, and most mention softer hair with less frizz. Several with long or curly hair say the wrap stays put on its button and keeps wet hair off their neck. A few say it is hard to secure snugly, or that very thick hair is still damp after.

Easy to use
This was easy to use and mostly stayed in place. I have thick long hair and it was effective at keeping it wrapped up. There's a button that the end of the towel hooks on to to keep it in place. When I let out my hair a while later, it was still fairly damp but the towel did absorb a good amount of water. Given how thick my hair is, I didn't expect it to be completely dry. It helps keep my hair out of the way after a shower when I'm doing other things around the house. Will continue to use!

Doesn't damage my hair.
My hair became very dry and damaged after dealing with a particular Sickness-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named, and even my old t-shirts (which is how I normally dried my hair) were causing breakage. These towels were a bit of a lifesaver for me, because they're super absorbent but finally didn't cause my hair to break any further. Plus with my hair being naturally wavy, they didn't cause extra frizz either. Very pleased.
Great towel for curly hair
Have often considered getting one of these turban type towels but never did. As I get older, my hair is getting curlier and curlier. My hairdresser urged me to stop using an old T-shirt on my hair after a shower and to use a micro fiber towel. I bought a flat towel, but my hair is getting a bit long for that towel now. So, I took the plunge. WOW!! I am sooo glad that I did! This towel is not only super easy to use, it contains all of my hair, and dries it super quick. With other towels, wrapping my hair and giving it a twist before throwing it over my head would cause a fair amount of breakage. This towel will not break your hair like other towels do. It is so soft and absorbent! So glad I made the switch!
My new favorite thing!
I have super long, coarse and thick hair. Meaning drying time is very long. I like to shower at night and these allow me to get my wet hair off my face and neck, and I’ve also noticed they leave my hair super soft, less frizzy, and it leaves a nice wave texture. Not to mention, they are super soft and amazingly comfy. Also helping my acne since my hair products aren’t all over my face and pillow!!

My daughter loves these towels!
My 10 year old daughter has long hair and wanted a lightweight towel for after showers. These are perfect. They are not bulky (like the pictures somehow make them seem) and don’t pull at her hair. They are very absorbent without the weight. These come with buttons so she can secure the wrap. I tried one and they fit my head just fine too. 10/10!

Very absorbent
I really like these microfiber towels, they are soft, lightweight and absorbent. They work much better on hair than the regular towels. I have thin hair that is getting thinner. I was worrying that by rubbing my hair with a regular towel in order to get it dry, I was damaging my hair. With the microfiber towels, I don't need to rub or pat the hair. I just put it on and it is light weight and comfortable. I can get dressed and then take the towel off and it has absorbed all the excess water. They are great! Very happy with my purchase.
Get them!!
I have curly hair and let it air dry. These are game changer when I get out of the shower because I absolutely despise wet hair on my back. Since I don't towel dry my hair before I put one of these on, I usually use two every time I get out of the shower. The first one gets soaking wet after a few minutes but the second one absorbs very well! If you towel dried your hair beforehand, one would be sufficient. Game changer for sure!
Better than boujie
I’ve tried everything from boujie Sephora hair towels to microfiber cleaning cloths, and these have been a clear winner. When I get out of the shower, I’ll blot real quick, brush, blot again, then wrap it up in it’s convenient shape. By the time all my skincare and tooth brushing is done, I’m still surprised how much water this has absorbed. It drastically cuts down on my air dry and blow dry times, especially if I stay in it just a few more minutes. And it feel so soft and faaaaaancy. I also love the button and loop.
