I have other hair towels that I have used in the past. These, while very soft and comfy on my head, didn't seem to take out as much water as some of my other towels. This caused my hair to not dry in the time it takes it to dry with other ones. Now, I have long, thick hair which I hate to blow dry, so a hair towel that does its job is important to me. I will still use these towels, but just not on days when I need my hair to dry quickly. #RankBoosterReview
