ditto!I use T-shirts. When my hubby or sons find a hole in their shirt. That's a new towel for me. They aborsb really well and doesnt snag my hair. Some I cut at the seams and remove the arm piece and make 2 (I call those my towelettes) others I remove just the sleeves. I use the thicker ones when I have my hair in braids because the braids holds more water than my twist for which I use the one layer shirt, my towelette.
I wrap a regular bath towel around my head and gently blot the excess water from my hair. I never rub my hair.
I use only microfiber towels or turbans. I get em at TJ max for cheap.
