These are great hair towels! They soak up the water in the hair very well and are soft. Big surprise was the two little bear buttons at the top for securing the towel - so cute. My girls love these towel. I love that I can just wrap up their hair and let it dry more cleanly than dripping water all over the place. The only complaint has nothing to do with the towels - my girls have very very long hair so I have to double up the hair in the towel. If the towel was like a foot longer we'd have that base covered too. But for normal lenghts of hair people - you will love thist!
