Why This Towel Is a “Second”
Why This Towel Is a “Second”
Very occasionally, minor cosmetic flaws occur in organic jersey cotton fabric — a natural consequence of working with responsibly produced materials. When these fall below our visual standards (but not our performance standards), we list those towels here as seconds.
These towels are still perfectly usable and fit for purpose. Offering them at a reduced price allows us to keep beautiful, functional products out of landfill — part of our wider commitment to reducing waste wherever possible, while giving customers the option to enjoy the same hair-kind benefits for less.
There are usually just one or two towels available in each colour, so availability is very limited.
Size
Regular: 98cm × 58cm
Our award-winning organic jersey cotton hair towel is designed to reduce friction and frizz while drying hair gently and efficiently. Lightweight and comfortable to wear, it's suitable for all hair types including curly, wavy, coily and fine hair. A gentle alternative to microfibre and traditional terry towels, it's ideal for hair wrapping and plopping. Made in the UK from certified organic jersey cotton. Minor imperfections so reduced prices.
How The Towel Works
How The Towel Works
Traditional terry towels and some microfibre fabrics can be rough, creating friction and absorbing water very aggressively. This can disrupt the outer surface of the hair when it’s wet and most vulnerable, contributing to frizz and dryness over time.
Good Wash Day towels are made from ultra-smooth organic jersey cotton, chosen to be gentler on wet hair. The fabric helps absorb excess surface water without over-drying, supporting hair health and manageability across all hair types.
Drying results can vary depending on hair type, products used, porosity and environment — but most customers notice a gentler drying experience and improved manageability with continued use.
Why Our Towels Are Different

Are the towels suitable for all hair types and ages?
Yes. Good Wash Day towels are designed for straight, wavy, curly and coily hair, and are gentle enough for adults, children and babies.

What size hair towel should I order?
What size hair towel should I order?
Most customers will be best suited to the regular towel.
The XL towel is designed for very long hair — from bra-strap length and beyond. Choosing a size is about length, not volume. If your hair is shorter but thick or curly, the regular towel will usually be the better fit.
How do I use the towel?

If you'd like visual guidance, you can watch short tutorials on our YouTube channel, or read our plopping guide.
Can I use Good Wash Day towels for other purposes?

Yes. Some customers also use their towel as a lightweight option for the body, or take it with them for travel, the gym, swimming, yoga, the beach or the pool.
A few have even found them useful for drying dogs who aren't fans of traditional towels — the softer fabric can feel less overwhelming.
