What the gurus are saying

Gurus who favor it consistently praise the towel's absorbency, generous size, softness, and ability to reduce heat styling time, with particular appeal for curly or damaged hair. The major criticism centers on the $60 price point for polyester material when similar products cost far less, plus reports of quality decline and durability issues including fraying in the dryer. One reviewer notes the towel requires air drying and may not justify its cost.

"It says, 'I wasn't able to find the composition information on the Sephora listing for the product.' Which would be like, what's the ingredients? What's the material? 'When I received this, I was shocked to find that the towel is nearly $60 for polyester.' I'm guessing you could probably find something that's polyester for like $10 for your hair. For 60 bucks, I expect a lot more. There's another review. I bought one of these towels years ago despite the price, and it's the best hair towel I ever owned. I figured it was time to refresh my supply, so I bought another one. Disappointed to find that it was made in a different place, and the material content was totally different, and the quality and workmanship has gone downhill. People mentioned that they put it in their dryers, and it just fell apart. It needs to lay out to dry or something. Too high maintenance for my hair towels."

"I love this hair towel. It's really soft, gentle on hair to prevent any breakage. It helps reduce frizz and absorb excess water really quickly. It's really good for any hair type but especially if your hair is curly or damaged."

"I feel like I have to give Crown Affair another shout out here because the microfiber towel that they make is so good. I'm obsessed with this particular towel now. The beauty of the Crown Affair one is one, it's gorgeous, but two it's big, so if you have a lot of hair you're going to be able to get it all wrapped up in there and totally coated. If you have a lot of hair I think Crown Affair is like unmatched in how effective and nice it is. It's definitely a very luxurious towel."

"The huge like towel that you use for your hair especially if you have long hair or if you have thick hair or curly hair this is so absorbent and just absorbs so much water out of your hair that it makes blow drying or even air drying afterward faster."

"I love hair towels that help absorb additional moisture or water from the hair. One of my all-time favorites is the Crown Affair Microfiber Hair Towel. It's really big but very light, so it's great if you have a lot of hair and even if you don't have a lot of hair it's great at removing that moisture and it's super comfortable. The added value of a hair towel is that it doesn't just not add additional friction to your hair but it also will reduce your heat styling time. It'll make your hair air dry or blow dry faster so that you don't have to apply as much damage to it later on in your styling routine."
