Why is a microfiber towel better than a traditional terry cloth towel for curly hair? Because it is made of smaller fibers (hence the "micro" in its name). This means that more fibers fit into a piece of fabric, so it absorbs water more efficiently than a traditional towel. By the time you take the microfiber towel off your hair, it will have absorbed so much water that you won't have to spend too much time blow-drying. In addition, rubbing your hair dry with a traditional towel can damage it. This is due to friction caused by rubbing the towel back and forth on your head. Using a microfiber towel eliminates this friction. As a result, your hair will experience less heat damage and friction, which means it will be healthier, fuller, and shinier!
An added bonus is that microfiber towels that can be twisted into a turban lock in moisture better, which means your hair will be less frizzy. And during drier seasons (such as winter), your hair won't dry out as much.
