Of course, we love Good Wash Day® hair towels, and all the benefits they bring, but don't just take our word for it!

We are so incredibly grateful to all our customers who take a moment to provide feedback. 

Feedback is also invaluable to businesses, especially us small independent ones. As Good Wash Day’s founder I read every single review we receive. I look for what we are doing well, and whether there is anything we could improve upon. Reviews ensure we are continuing to meet (and hopefully exceed) the high expectations we have set for Good Wash Day products, and likewise the customer experience.

Works really well

Me and my girls absolutely love our chosen colours and it does a great job. Easy to tie up in a turban.

Thank you for your review Emma! I'm really pleased that you love your towel.

Ok

This towel is ok but I have other towels that work better for my fine wavy hair.

Thank you for taking a moment to write a review Ann. If there's anything specific you'd like to discuss please do email me at hello@goodwashday.com.

A good towel but expensive for what it is

I would say that it’s made my hair feel softer and it’s clearly been designed to be the ideal size. But for over £30 with p&p, it is very expensive. I was expecting at least some means of hooking it onto a hook for that money. No; it it literally just a piece of fabric. I don’t regret the purchase but I won’t be buying another. I just hope it lasts a long time!

Hi Louise,

Thank you for taking a moment to write a review.

I appreciate GWD towels are not the cheapest hair towels on the market. The ethos of the business is super important to me; organic jersey cotton is better for the environment and the people in the supply chain, and because they're made in the UK everyone involved with Good Wash Day earns a fair wage and works in safe conditions. This ethos and the quality of the product (versus something like microfibre (microplastics) made on the other side of the world) comes at a price, and makes it impossible to sell the towels for any less .

I always avoided a hook on the towels because I personally get irritated by flappy labels. I've therefore tried to make the label as unobtrusive as possible. BUT, I have listened to feedback and there will be longer care labels on all GWD towels soon. They will still be thin, so that they don't annoy people!

I really appreciate your feedback, and if I can help with anything else please email me at hello@goodwashday.com

Fast delivery to Australia and my curls have never looked better. Also arrived with the loveliest note from the owner.
Highly recommend x

Warms my heart to know there are so many towels in Austalia, Louise. Especially because I'm paying my first visit at the end of the year! Thank you for taking a moment to write a review.

Love it!

I bought towels for both myself and my mother. We both love them and have noticed less breakage/ stronger hair and less frizz since using the towel. I have recommended to more friends. Ordering and delivery was really straightforward too.

I'm so pleased that your hair is benefitting from your GWD towels Anna. Thank you for your review, and also for helping to spread the word about my business. It really does mean the world to me.

Good for my hair!

My hair is thinning so I am trying to treat it very gently. This towel is soft and smooth, and doesn't suck all the moisture out of my hair like microfibre does. I leave it on for 5 or 10 minutes after my shower, then just air dry. In combination with a silk pillowcase I am seeing much less hair in my brush. I am also happy to be supporting a small independant business.

Dear Anne,

I'm so pleased to read that you're finding your GWD towels to be beneficial. Thank you for your review, and I wish you all the very best.

Great product and customer service

I bought two of the orange towels. The quality is fantastic - the colour holds and washes well. 100% recommend. And the customer service was great too!

I'm so pleased you love your towels and am grateful for your kind words.

Fabulous

I bought a towel for myself and it made a huge difference to my hair. I have since bought a couple as presents for family. Fabulous product, fabulous company.

And fabulous customers Zandra!! Thank you so much for taking a moment to write a review, and for your orders.

My hair has never been so soft!

I love it! I was influenced by the wonderful Caroline Hirons and I'm so glad I was. It's so lightweight and takes up no space at all (saving me room in the bathroom no longer needing a big towel to dry my hair). But best of all my hair has transformed into the softest it has ever been - it's beautiful, I can't stop touching it. And I've only used the towel a handful of times so far, the transformation is instant! I'm now planning on purchasing for my best mates at Christmas!

Thank you so much for your review Lindsay! GWD towels really do improve hair health and manageability from day one; many of us have used negative words to describe our hair in the past (me included!) so it's a joy to see you describe yours as beautiful!

Great Hair Towel

Love my new hair towel. It’s my new favorite! Would definitely recommend this.

Thank you so much for taking a moment to write a review Linda; as a small business I really appreciate it.

Teal towel

The towel arrived really fast and I started using it the next day. It’s so soft and clings to my head. A bit of stretch in the fabric keeps it on my head. It dried my hair really quickly. The colour is a vibrant teal- one of my favourite colours! I look forward to using it for every hair wash.

Don't tell anyone because I'm not supposed to have favourites, and I'm not saying I do, but I also love the teal! I'm thrilled to read that you love your towel. Thank you for popping back to share your thoughts.

Love these face cloths!

I ordered the small face cloths at the start of the year and I loved them but just found them too small for my face so I was beyond happy when these large ones were introduced. They are the perfect size to cleanse your whole face and are nice and soft so they feel really gentle on your skin. They also wash well and come in a great bag. Would happily recommend!

Thank you so much for your review Behiye! I'm so pleased that you love the wipes. I use my small ones for eye make-up removal, and my large ones for cleansing my whole face. I've not used towelling fabric on my face for over 18 months :-)

Fantastic hair towel and drawstring bag

Beautiful quality organic cotton hair towel and well made. Dries my hair without drying it out. It’s much easier to use than an ordinary towel. It doesn’t pull on my hair or scalp. I wouldn’t use anything else now. I also purchased a pink drawstring bag in the same lovely fabric, big enough to put my sunglasses in.

Thank you for your review Judith! I'm really happy to read that you love your GWD towel, and your sunnies bag!

Karen - Founder, Good Wash Day

Excellent

I have a lot of very fine hair and after using this lovely towel, it is so much easier to manage, dries quicker and is a lot less tangled when brushing. I’ve taken it with me on holiday and it packs up nice and small which is so convenient. The teal colour is beautiful too!

Good Wash Day towels do make excellent travel companions, don't they Jess?! Mine have been all over the place. I'm so pleased that you love yours.

Best hair towel ever!

I'm so pleased to have found Good Wash Day via Caroline Hirons' recommendation. I have super long, thick hair, and it is always a nightmare to dry. I've been using traditional "turby towels" for years, but was fed up of them never drying properly and subsequently getting smelly and unpleasant to use. I was surprised when my GWD towel arrived that it wasn't in the traditional shape of a hair towel, but I quickly learnt how best to use it for my hair, and it's already beaten anything I've used before! It takes on so much moisture which makes the blow drying process quicker, and it dries quickly itself and therefore feels fresh after every use! So pleased to have found it, and would recommend to anyone!

Dear Sylvia,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a comprehensive review. I'm so pleased that you love your GWD towel!

My second purchase

I bought my second Good Wash Day towel as I loved the first one so much. It really reduces frizz, and I would highly recommend, whatever your hair type. Love it! ❤️

Thank you for coming back for another towel Caroline! There's no greater feedback for a business. I'm so happy that you love your towels.

Great for curls!

I have curly/wavy hair, and this works so so much better than a normal towel - not to mention they're good for the planet! I need to buy some reusable make up pads next!

Thank you so much Han. I'm so pleased that you love your GWD towel.

Loving it!

I stumbled across Good Wash Towels on Instagram and knew I needed one! I don’t really spend money on myself, but this is a purchase that I’m delighted to have bought! My menopausal hair is thin and fine, and I have seen instant improvements using this towel. I am having to blow dry less which is definitely a good thing! Highly recommending it to one and all! 🩵

I am so happy to read your review Sam. Thank you so much for taking a moment to wrtie it; I'm thrilled that you love your GWD towel!

Perfect good wash day towel

I have very curly, dry hair & this towel is perfect for taking away the excess water. I air dry my hair & this helps dry it in record time. I also love to wrap my hair with it when using a hair mask. Such a great product. Thanks Karen love Karen ❤️

Thanks Karen! I'm so pleased you love it, and I really appreciate you taking a moment to leave a review.

Ordered another towel as they are so good!

I loved the towel from the first time I used it, so had to get another one. They are so comfortable to wear and it’s really improved my hairline as the other heavier towels were damaging my hair and causing it to snap. These are just brilliant!

Dear Karen,

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I'm so happy to read that you love your towels!

Love it!

I’ve been using my towel for a couple of months now and have already made a repurchase for myself and my Mum who also loves hers. This towel has made my hair softer, less frizzy and my hairdresser spotted that I’ve got some regrowth in my hair which is great! I have PCOS so my hair is prone to thinning. I’ll never go back to using a regular towel on my hair again xx

Thank you so much for your heartwarming review Rachel. I'm so pleased that you and your mum love your towels. Yay for your hair regrowth too!

Game changer!

I love my Good Wash Day towel! My hair is softer, less friss, more shine! And I feel I don’t need to wash my hair as often as before. I will never use another towel for my hair again, I shall have to buy me a second one;)

Thank you so much Diane! I'm so pleased that you love your GWD towel, and I really appreciate your review.

Wouldn’t go back to a normal towel

I bought these as gifts for the female members of my family and got so much good feedback I decided to treat myself.
These are a game changer! Easy to tie up and feels so comfy on my head. I particularly use it for my hair masks to keep it wrapped up while it works. Packs so small for the gym or holiday. Wouldn’t be without it.
Easy to wash and dry. YES it’s an investment but these will last a long time.
I love the ethos of good wash day so 110% recommend!!

Thank you so much for your fabulous feedback Charlotte! How generous to buy for others before treating yourself! Glad that GWD towels have been so well received.
