This towel has been amazing. My curly hair looks so great scrunching with this towel. I had another microfiber towel that I tried, but it was a camping microfiber towel, and I guess not the same. I hesitated to try this towel, but the reviews were mostly good, so I ordered. SO glad I did. At first, I tried the "plopping" technique described on some curly hair websites, and had terrible results. I tried four times, and my hair just turned out frizzy and flat. On the advice of a posting I saw on a curly hair forum, I tried scrunching with this towel instead, and was so pleased with the results. I have bra strap length long, low porosity, fine to medium high density hair, and as a result, my hair takes forever to dry to the point it can start to smell "musty" like old towels, but the fine parts easily frizz if over dried! I used to have to go to work with sopping wet hair that would literally take 6-8 hours to dry. I wanted something to get my hair dryer faster without the friz. This towel delivered. It soaks up so much water, leaving my hair drier without the frizz or flatness. If I throw my hair over my head and scrunch, that it, instead of "plopping". My hair still takes a few hours to dry, but it takes 4-5 instead of 8, and no more musty smell. I read some other posts complaining of lost absorpancy after washing. I used to work in a towel store, and can tell you, ANY sort of fabric softener at all, whether liquid in the wash or sheets in the dryer coat the towel and drastically cut down on absorpancy. Once this happens I know of no way to clean it off and restore the absorpancy. Another thing that ruins absorpancy in my experience is oils. I have found olive oil (especially), jojoba and shea butter to all effect the absorpancy of my towels. If washed in really hot water with lots of soap two or three times, I was able to get the jojoba and shea butter out (although the towels were never as absorpant as they had been before), but I was never able to get the olive oil out. So, be careful to rinse thuroughly if using straight oils on your hair.
