Want Healthier Hair? Try These 10 Hair Towels

Among its many benefits—like super-soft microfiber material and lightweight feel—the thing users love most about this hair towel is how quickly it wicks water away. The thin, textured towel isn’t bulky, which means it dries quickly between uses and can be easily stowed away in your gym bag. One reviewer notes that after five minutes, her hair goes from sopping wet to nearly dry.

This hair towel immediately starts absorbing water from your hair. Ideal for all hair types—even curly and coarse—this towel is gentle enough for everyday use. Reviewers rave that it checks all the boxes: doesn’t feel wet even after it’s dried hair, reduces frizz, and stays wrapped until you remove it.

A few words that reviewers have used to describe this hair towel are life-changing, simple to use, effective, and lightweight. This hair towel has been around for some time—raise your hand if you remember seeing infomercials—so it’s no surprise that users keep returning to its tried-and-tested material. The best part? You get four in one package for a great price.

What we love most about this hair towel is that it dries your hair as efficiently as possible. Wrap the towel over wet hair and twist, and then go about your morning routine. While you’re applying makeup or getting your outfit on, this handy towel is already working its magic. By the time you’re finished, your hair will be dry enough for you to apply product.

Reviewers echo the same sentiment when it comes to this hair towel: it really stays in place. Other towels tend to fall off or unravel, but once you twist this towel up and lock it in, it doesn’t budge an inch. This makes it easy for you to indulge in a face mask, apply your makeup, or even do some chores (only if you want to).

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. It’s one of the biggest we’ve seen so far (not an exaggeration), making it a breeze to fully encase the entirety of your hair. Even those with really long hair are able to completely twist their strands up into a turban, with room to spare.

Before hair towels became the standard, there was a time when we resorted to t-shirts. Like hair towels, cotton t-shirts are less damaging to the hair but unfortunately aren’t as absorbent. This 100% cotton hair towels solves that issue. Equal parts t-shirt and towel, this ultra-soft material reduces friction when drying your hair, which means less frizz and flyaways.

Due to its quick-dry benefits, microfiber is perfect for hair towels. Ultra-wicking technology allows this towel to be 80% more effective than its competitors. One reviewer notes that in addition to using this post-shower, she also has an extra that she uses overnight to keep her rollers in place.
