I have stupid crazy curly wavy mind of it's own hair (think Jackson 5)! So when I wet it even if I just dampen it in the morning I use my towel. It takes the moisture out before I remove and then within no time at all the towel is even dry! Wizardry! We have a bus also that we travel on when we can and Turkish towels full stop was a no brainer! Takes up no space at all and dries so quickly and this again is a lifesaver when you are travelling and don't have access to washing machines and I only do handwashing. Thank you for the top notch product! StokedNZ for the win!
