Q: Are microfibre towels good for your hair?
A: Yes, considerably better than a standard bath towel. The fibres absorb water without the rough friction of terry cotton, which is what causes frizz and breakage when hair is at its most fragile.
Q: How long should you leave hair in a microfibre towel?
A: Ten to twenty minutes is plenty. Leaving it wrapped much longer keeps the hair damp against the scalp without adding any benefit.
Q: Can microfibre hair towels go in the washing machine?
A: Yes, on a normal cycle. Skip the fabric softener though, since it coats the fibres and reduces how much water they absorb.
