What is a microfiber towel?
Microfiber is a synthetic fabric made up of extremely fine fibers that are woven together so tightly that they pick up and hold water much faster. It is said that the fibers of the textile are 100 times finer than a human hair. Thus, although finer than cotton ones, these towels absorb a greater quantity of liquid. Indeed, the fibers trap water in the fabric, instead of absorbing it thanks to its particular weaving. As a result, you cut your drying time in half. In addition, this weaving gives it a soft, smooth texture and therefore pleasant to the touch, even after several washes.
The main differences with a classic towel:
- The microfiber fabric is thinner and remains soft to the touch even after many washes. On the contrary, the classic cotton or linen towel usually becomes rough after a while.
- The microfiber towel absorbs water faster than a conventional towel, which cuts the drying time in half .
- Respectful of the scalp, the microfiber towel protects the hair from friction.
- Smaller and lighter, the microfiber towel can be taken everywhere with you, unlike a classic, thick and bulky towel.
