Microfiber Hair Towels

Whenever I would walk into a store like CVS, or Duane Reade I would see these towels, and wonder what they were. I didn’t really understand why I would use such a small towel to hold my wet hair. Then I bought one, it’s really simple to use and actually much easier than using a regular towel.  All you have to do is put your wet hair inside the towel, twist the long piece, and then bring the long piece to the back of your head where a small elastic band is. It’s like a small turban on your head, that you don’t have to hold with your hands. It’s lightweight, so you can walk around and do anything with the towel on your head, and it doesn’t fall off.  Also what’s great about this towel is, it’s made out of microfiber, microfibers have a lot of advantages. The first one being that it is really absorbent so you don’t have water dripping down your back once you put the towel on, but it doesn’t take all the moisture out of your hair, like a regular cotton towel because over drying can cause more damage to your hair. If you use heat to style your hair, using a microfiber towel would reduce your hairs drying time when using a blow-dryer, which means less frizz. Having one of these towels are a really good investment, I encourage you to pick one up!
