What is a hair wrap towel?
A hair wrap towel is, just as the name suggests, a towel for your hair.
Plus, microfiber is lightweight.
Another perk of using a microfiber hair towel according to Raziuddin?
It absorbs excess moisture from the hair without stripping it of its natural oils.
You may also come across hair towels made from satin.

Satin hair towels are not as common, but they arent a bad choice, says Johnson.
Raziuddin agrees, adding: Its lightweight and it will help reduce frizz.
While a viable alternative to microfiber, it wont whisk away as much moisture or dry as quickly.
There are hair towels made from cotton too, though Johnson doesnt typically recommend this material.
These will lessen the amount of tug and pull on the hair, she notes.
Closure
Most hair wrap towels feature buttons or loops to keep the towel in place.
If this feature isnt as important to you, youll also come across hair wrap towels without them.
Size
Hair wrap towels come in a variety of sizes.
When you are pulling and twisting too hard, it can cause breakage to your hair, she says.
