The DevaCurl DevaTowel is an oversized microfiber hair towel built for wavy, curly, and coily hair. The reason a specific towel exists for this: standard terry cotton has looped fibers that catch curl clumps and lift the hair cuticle as you rub, which is what produces frizz. Microfiber uses much finer, smoother filaments that absorb water without that snagging, so hair is blotted and squeezed dry rather than roughed up. It is sized large enough to plop longer hair, meaning wrapping curls up on the head to set the pattern while excess water drains. Best fit: anyone with texture who is still using a bath towel and wondering where the frizz comes from.
Pros
- Smooth microfiber filaments absorb water without snagging curl clumps the way terry loops do
- Oversized enough to plop long hair, not just wrap a fringe
- Reduces drying time, which shortens diffuser heat exposure
- Works across wavy, curly, and coily textures
Cons
- Microfiber needs washing without fabric softener, which coats the fibers and kills absorbency, so it takes slightly more laundry care than a cotton towel
Frequently asked questions
Why not just use a regular bath towel?
Terry cotton has looped fibers that catch and lift the hair cuticle as you rub, which creates frizz. Microfiber filaments are smoother and absorb without snagging.
Is it big enough to plop long hair?
Yes, it is oversized specifically so longer curly hair can be plopped and wrapped rather than just towel-dried at the ends.
How should I wash it?
Machine wash without fabric softener and avoid high heat. Softener coats microfiber and destroys its absorbency.
Should I rub my hair with it or squeeze?
Squeeze and blot rather than rub. Even with microfiber, rubbing disrupts the curl pattern.
