5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent towel
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2023
Love, love, LOVE these towels for drying my hair.
The towel is very soft, really absorbent, and washes up well on a cold/gentle cycle, air dried with no pilling or shedding that I’ve noticed.
Any kind of heat is Enemy No.1 for microfiber. The key to absorbency and longevity is COLD WASH CYCLE ONLY. My mom swears by hand-washing her microfibers, but I’m not a retiree with time or energy to spare!
I like to hang dry these towels, but if I’m in a rush I’ve thrown them in the dryer on the low-temp/air-only setting for 10 minutes and they’ve held up great. Don’t use bleach or other harsh detergents. If you wash these towels with anything else they will pick up lint and fuzz from other items you wash them with. I’m only including this in the review because the towels I received don’t have a tag with washing instructions, and the product description on Amazon is really vague about washing instructions.
The 20x40 size isn’t large enough to twist into a turban like they show in the pictures unless you have a child’s head, but that doesn’t bother me at all since I use more of a dabbing method while drying to avoid breakage that can occur when twisting my hair up in a towel.
Maybe a minute total drying time with no drips afterward or having to bother with balancing a twisted towel on my head. There’s definitely a weight difference after I use the towel, and I even gently squeeze most of the water out of my hair before placing towel to head. That just means this towel is doing its job soaking up the remaining moisture from my hair, and quickly. Can’t beat that!
So far I’ve only used these towels on my hair, but that’s what I bought them for; they’ve gone above and beyond my expectations. Money well spent!
