A single microfiber wrap in a palm print that its listing says is held by a snug elastic loop, with a 2-count option in the pack menu. - **A cotton wrap:** Conair Cotton Hair Towel Wrap. A single cotton twist wrap the listing calls a T-shirt hair towel, made for hair plopping and turban-style wrapping. Our top pick is the **[Hicober Microfiber Hair Towel Wrap, 3-Pack](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-hair-towels/#pick-1)**, three microfiber wraps with an elastic loop in one pack. We read 124 Amazon search cards for "hair towel wrap" over two results pages, set aside sponsored cards and anything that is not a wearable hair wrap, and compared the pages of 10 wraps. The [Turbie Twist Hair Towel](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-hair-towels/#pick-2) is the original tapered wrap, the [10 x 26 Inch Hair Towel Wrap](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-hair-towels/#pick-3) is a 2-pack that closes with a hook and button, the [XL Microfiber Hair Towel](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-hair-towels/#pick-4) is the long-hair size, the [Kitsch Hair Towel Wrap](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-hair-towels/#pick-5) is a single printed wrap, and the [Conair Hair Towel Wrap](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-hair-towels/#pick-6) is the cotton one. No Wirecutter page ranked for this search, so there is no Wirecutter row in the table. ## How to choose a hair towel For this guide, a hair towel is a towel made to be twisted or wrapped on the head after washing, with a loop, strap or button to hold it, not a full-size bath towel. A listing had to say it was a hair wrap, turban or hair towel; shower caps and drying cloths were left out. **Material.** Most listings here are microfiber, and the Conair listing is cotton. Allure splits its own picks the same way, with microfiber for most and a separate best cotton pick. Goals to Get Glowing timed nine microfiber wraps against a cotton bath towel and a cotton T-shirt: wearing a microfiber wrap for 10 minutes before blow drying cut her drying time by 36 percent against wearing nothing, 23 percent against a T-shirt and 16 percent against a bath towel. That is one person's timing on her own hair, not a rule. **Closure.** Allure says many hair towels slip off easily and picks one for its button closure. It describes the [Turbie Twist](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-hair-towels/#pick-2)'s tapered end as tucking into an elastic loop so that it stays put. Our table shows each pick's closure as its listing names it, and one listing names none in the text we read. **Size and length.** Allure lists a Volo wrap in a regular size and an XL, 39.4 by 30.5 inches against 39.4 by 23.5 inches, for longer hair. Chris Loves Julia says a long-haired wearer may have to tuck the end of a small wrap. The [XL Microfiber Hair Towel](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-hair-towels/#pick-4) lists 41 by 24 inches, yet Amazon's own summary says some find it too small for long hair. **How long to wear it.** Goals to Get Glowing recommends 10 to 20 minutes before air drying or blow drying, and Chris Loves Julia wraps for 10 to 20 minutes depending on the day. **Claims on the listings.** Most listings claim less frizz or less breakage, and Amazon's summaries repeat some of it. Those are the sellers' claims, and we cannot verify them from a listing, so the picks below are ranked on size, closure, pack count and fabric. ## Our picks in detail ### 1. Hicober Microfiber Hair Towel Wrap, 3-Pack: best for a multi-pack of microfiber wraps **Why it made the list** - Three towels come in the pack, in set colors, and the listing says they stay in place with an elastic loop. - Amazon's own summary calls the fabric soft and absorbent, says it stays soft after washing and says it stays on. - The listing says the microfiber is machine-washable and light, and that it cuts dry time by half with an asterisk. **Drawbacks** - Chris Loves Julia's write-up of a [Hicober 3-pack](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-hair-towels/#pick-1) says the plush material almost repelled the moisture instead of absorbing it. - No critical snippet was among those we read, so the page shows few reasons to hesitate. **Watch for this:** Amazon shows this [Hicober 3-pack](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-hair-towels/#pick-1) under three listings with one review total, one per color set. They are the same product, so there is one pick, and the size menu offers packs of 2 and 3. **Skip it if** you want one good wrap rather than several, or a fabric another publication preferred; Chris Loves Julia favored other wraps. ### 2. Turbie Twist Microfiber Hair Towel, 2 Pack: best for the original tapered wrap **Why it made the list** - The listing says its tapered end goes through a strong elastic loop, with no buttons to fall off, so hands stay free. - Allure names a [Turbie Twist](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-hair-towels/#pick-2) its best hair turban, and the listing calls the [Turbie Twist](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-hair-towels/#pick-2) the original. - Amazon's own summary says it is easy to use even with long hair and stays on the head. **Drawbacks** - A 1-star snippet says the colors received did not match the pictured set. - The size menu spans Large and X Large in several pack counts, so it is easy to order a size you did not mean to. **Watch for this:** The page we read was a Large 2-pack in Dazzling Blue and Windsurfer, and the menu also lists 3-packs, 4-packs and an X Large 2-pack. Check the size before you order. **Skip it if** you want a multi-pack of three, since this page shows two towels. ### 3. Hair Towel Wrap 2 Pack, 10 x 26 Inch: best for a basic 2-pack with a button **Why it made the list** - Each of the two towels measures 10 by 26 inches and is polyester and polyamide, per the listing. - Amazon's own summary says the hook and button closure keeps it secure and that it absorbs well. - The listing calls it lightweight for travel and the gym. **Drawbacks** - Amazon's own summary is mixed on water absorption. - A 3-star snippet calls it a basic budget wrap and advises passing on it for high porosity curls. **Skip it if** you have thick curls and want a more absorbent towel. ### 4. XL Microfiber Hair Towel 2 Pack, 41 x 24 Inch: best for long hair **Why it made the list** - The listing gives the size as 41 by 24 inches and says it is large enough for long, curly or thick hair. - It uses an elastic strap instead of a button, per the listing, and comes as two towels. - Amazon's own summary says it stays securely in place. **Drawbacks** - Amazon's own summary is mixed on size: some find it perfect for any hair length and others say it is too small for long hair. - A 3-star snippet says the towels were not long enough for the writer's hair, and a 1-star snippet says all three towels came in the same color. **Skip it if** your hair is very long and you need the size to work every time, because Amazon's summary is mixed on it. ### 5. Kitsch Microfiber Hair Towel Wrap: best for a single printed wrap **Why it made the list** - The listing says a snug elastic loop holds it in place, and the page shows a palm print in White Ivory. - Chris Loves Julia names a Kitsch wrap among its favorites and calls it weightless on the head. - Amazon's own summary calls it easy to put on and says it dries hair in about half the usual time. **Drawbacks** - Amazon's own summary is mixed on staying power. - A 1-star snippet says it is not suitable for very long hair. **Watch for this:** The pink and other colors share one review total with this white one, and the pack menu offers 1 and 2 counts. The page we read showed 1 count. **Skip it if** you have very long or thick hair and want a roomy wrap, or want several towels in one pack. ### 6. Conair Cotton Hair Towel Wrap: best for a cotton wrap **Why it made the list** - The listing says it is cotton with a T-shirt feel, shaped as a twist and turban-style wrap. - Amazon's own summary calls the fabric very soft and smooth and the wrap easy to use. - The listing names it a hair plopping towel for curls. **Drawbacks** - Amazon's own summary is mixed on staying put and on absorbency. - A 3-star snippet says it is hardly better than a T-shirt. **Skip it if** you want a microfiber wrap, a multi-pack or a wrap with a named closure, since the listing text we read names none. ## What we left out, and why We read 124 search cards, found 96 different organic listings and read the pages of 10. Wirecutter's page was not among the top results, so there is no Wirecutter row. - **M-bestl 2 Pack Microfiber Hair Towel Wrap with Button.** A second 2-pack microfiber wrap with a button, the same type as pick 3. - **YFONG 3 Pack Microfiber Hair Towels Wrap.** A second 3-pack microfiber set, the same type as pick 1; Amazon's summary is mixed on size. - **POPCHOSE Microfiber Hair Towel Wrap, 3 Pack.** A third 3-pack microfiber set that adds no new need. - **myHomeBody Hair Towel Wrap.** A single charcoal fiber wrap with a coconut shell button; Amazon's summary is mixed on fit. ## Questions people ask ### Are microfiber hair towels better than cotton ones? Goals to Get Glowing timed nine microfiber wraps and found they dried her hair faster than a cotton T-shirt or bath towel, though it was one person's test on her own hair.

Goals to Get Glowing recommends 10 to 20 minutes before drying, and Chris Loves Julia wraps for 10 to 20 minutes depending on the day. ### What keeps a hair towel from slipping? The closure. Allure says many hair towels slip off and credits a button closure for keeping one in place. The [Turbie Twist](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-hair-towels/#pick-2) uses a tapered end and an elastic loop, and the [10 x 26 Inch Hair Towel Wrap](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-hair-towels/#pick-3) uses a hook and button. ### How did TwelveTabs choose these hair towels?
