The 5 Weirdest Towels (That Actually Work) for Your Hair
By Claire Aviles · Updated September 25, 2014

As a curly girl, you probably know that a microfiber towel is the best option for drying your hair. Microfiber towels absorb water much more effectively than their cotton counterparts, and without rubbing! This means there is less friction between the towel and the hair, therefore less breakage and less frizz.

The following towels are made for drying everything from cars to pets to dishes, and they are all great options for drying your curly hair!
