With a towel this soft, there’s a chance you’ll end up falling asleep in it. Plush, highly absorbent, and built to last, this hair towel was made for those with curly hair. It does everything from preventing frizz and static cling to decreasing drying and styling time.

If you’ve got long, longer, and the longest hair ever, you will absolutely appreciate this huge hair towel.
