Very good product i wish i had it in white

Thanks for your review Yehudit. I'm sorry I don't offer GWD towels in white. I might in the future, but for now I need to try to limit my colours so that the business remains streamlined. Also, white can easily stain with make up and skincare products, so I need to bear that in mind too.

I'm so pleased that you love your towel though!

Kind regards,

Fabulous towels

Really great service, arrived super quick and lovely soft items, will be ordering again!

Thank you Heather! I really appreciate you popping back to write a review. Have a restful weekend.

I highly recommend.

The service quality was truly exceptional. The products are of a high standard, I absolutely love the hair towels. The packaging is beautiful. I would highly recommend. They are also great presents for family and friends.

A lovely end to a very busy week. Thank you for your kind words Marie. I'm so pleased that you're a GWD fan!

Have a super weekend.

Love my towel

Good Wash Day towel has left my hair much less frizzy, and does a surprisingly great job of drying the excess water! The size is also great, as towels I've had in the past have been too small for my thick hair.

Thank you so much for your review. I really agonised over the dimensions because I only wanted to make one size. I'm so pleased you love it!

Warmest wishes,

It’s does what it says on the tin and I love it but it’s s lot of money for what is basically a piece of material could just as easy use a tee shirt

Thank you so much for your review Brenda. I'm so glad that you love your towel!

The price is dictated by the ethos of the business. Firstly, the fabric is organic jersey cotton, which is obviously more expensive than non-organic fabric, or microfibre, but I chose it because it is better for the planet, and the people in the supply chain.

Secondly, all GWD towels are handmade here in the UK, again a decision made with people and planet in mind. I know the conditions in which they’re made, and I don’t have to ship fabric thousands of miles: from Europe, to factories on the other side of the world, and finally back to the UK. This would have also impacted the cost, and the lead times would have been around three months.

I never set out to make the cheapest towels possible, and the ethos of my brand is therefore non-negotiable. You are absolutely correct: you could use a T-shirt and this is something I have talked about. It’s also what I used to do. But I found them awkward to use, and I wanted a towel made from T-shirt fabric. I couldn't find any that were big enough, bright enough, or ethical enough, so I started Good Wash Day.

I do respect your opinion, and wanted to explain why GWD towels cost what they cost. I'm actually really proud of the fact that everyone in my supply chain receives a fair wage, and works in safe and fair conditions.

BEST HAIR TOWEL EVER!!

My bathroom is full of “hair products” ….on the Holy Grail of trying to tame my hair. So who knew I needed to take a step back and look at how I was treating my hair straight after washing - before piling on the styling products!! I have been using a T-shirt to wrap up hair but the Good Wash Day towels are outstanding ….my Holy Grail has ended!! I still use some styling product but my hair is now SO SOFT and holds its shape. It’s like I have been to a Salon and had an expensive treatment. I have been using my towel for over a month now, wanted to wait before I did my review …..but yes, I am consistently getting fabulous results - thank you Karen!!

Hi Fran,

WOW! What a fabulous review. You have completely and utterly summed up the entire purpose of GWD. Yes yes yes to everything you have said. Thank you!

Good Wash Day

I am absolutely delighted with my Good Wash Day jersey towel - it is so soft and gentle, reducing the amount of breakage after washing my thin and fine straight hair. I will definitely be purchasing another one! I would very highly recommend.

Dear Caroline,

I'm so pleased that you're delighted with your towel, and that it's proving beneficial. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Reviews really do make a big difference to my small independent business.

Kind regards,

Brilliant!

I thought I would give this a try and so glad I did. These towels are a game changer for my wavy hair. Customer service and delivery were excellent as well.

Thank you Helen! Love hearing the words 'game changer' in relation to GWD towels.

Absolutely would recommend product

I have been using this towel for the last 3 weeks, my hair is fine and frizzy, this has made my hair more shiny and less frizz, my hair feels more softer and dries very quickly. I would recommend this product, soft material and so much better than a normal towel

Hello Rajeshree,

I really appreciate your review and I'm so pleased that you love your towel. Why did we ever think we should use terry towels to dry our hair?!

All the best,

Perfect multi tasker

I use mine to plop and wear as a turban to bed…..or out walking the dog to multi task (looks fine!)
I find a micro towel easier when my hair is really wet but just personal preference as I’m short on time- use both together.

Thank you for your review! I'm so pleased that you're getting lots of use out of your GWD towel.

Kind regards,

Haven’t been using my towel very long, but so far, so good. It is certainly very gentle on the hair.

Thank you for your review Janis. The benefits should get better and better over time!

Where have these been all my life?

I purchased the bright pink one after seeing the Instagram posts with Trinny. I loved it so much I ordered the bright orange one. I am able to wear my natural curls, less frizz. They are comfortable to wear and they are great for travel. Will buy more to add to my collection.

The Hot Pinks have been so popular these last few weeks Joanne! I'm so pleased you love yours. Trinny is such a fabulous supporter of my business and it is very much appreciated.

Have a super weekend.

`Just WOW!!!!

I purchased my first Good Wash Day towel a few weeks ago after seeing Karen
on a live with Trinny Woodall/Trinny London. I really wish I'd known about the Company much sooner.
It's an amazing product, whether I'm having a curly or straight hair day. My hair
seems to dry much more quickly and definitely much less frizzy. Now I'm using
it with the correct curly hair products my hair is in much better condition. So much so, there is another Good Wash Day towel on order. Thank you Karen.

Thank you so much for coming back to write a review. And what a review! I'm so pleased you love your towel. My morning with Trinny was such a treat!

All the best,

Amazing hair towel

My hair feels and looks so much better since using this hair towel. I have very thick hair and when using cotton towels my scalp gets very hot and my hair is extremely frizzy, this does not happen when using good wash day. My scalp now stays cool and my hair dries quicker even if leaving it to air dry. My hair is so much softer and doesn’t feel as dry to the touch. Definitely recommend.

Dear Bernice,

Thank you so much for your review. I'm so pleased that you love your GWD towel and that your hair is feeling the benefits.

Kind regards,

Won't go back to towels

From the first use I felt a dufference, my hair felt softer and less frizzy. 2nd purchased, there's no going back to towels now. Thank you Good Wash Day, wish I'd found you years ago x

Thank you Lesley! It seems bonkers that we would use a regular towel on our hair doesn't it?! Once you know, you know.

At last a towel that stays on my head

The jersey knit is so lightweight and comfortable. When wrapped around my head it actually stays there! Such a great product, I love it.

Thank you Annette. One of my customer does her yoga in her GWD towel, and it stays put, even during downward facing dog! Thank you for your review.

Great for hair

These towels are great at gently drying your hair. They are also compact so easy to take travelling. Really happy with my purchase and hope it helps improve my hair strength.

Dear Anneke,

So many customers take their GWD towels on their travels, so that they don't have to subject their hair to a regular towel! I love seeing where their towels have been. Thank you for your review.
