Believe it. I went with Sexy (my husband) one day to AutoZone because he needed some things for his car, and as I passed the “Car Detailing” Aisle I stopped dead in my tracks and backed up. There was an entire row of microfiber cloths, chamois and other detailing cloths. First, I thought about how I could use the smaller multi-pak ones to clean with, since we stopped using paper towels. But then, I saw the biggest microfiber cloth I’d ever seen, and all I could think about was my HAIR.
Microfiber is highly absorbent and I kept hearing about these great microfiber towels that you can dry your hair with that will preserve and not break your curls when drying it! But every time I found one I liked, it always cost like $20 per towel, and that, my friends, is NOT in the budget. But here before me, in Aisle 6 of AutoZone, was a microfiber towel for less than $10! And it wasn’t one of those 12 x 12 ones that you dust with either. It was 28.5″ x 40″! I immediately grabbed it and ran over to Sexy and started raving about how fabulous it was and he gave me the same look that I guess most men give their women who start rambling on about a non-masculine subject in an auto-supply store, and just said “OK” and headed off to the register.
Well folks… 
I
LOVE
THIS
TOWEL
I swear it allows me to dry my hair in half the time! It’s a great size for my length of hair too. It is the main tool I was referring to in How to Wash and Dry your Hair in an Hour, and since it dries quickly I can use it multiple times before tossing it in the wash. The bright orange color helps too, (it doesn’t get mixed up with the others).
I am very happy to say that I found a towel just like it that is now available in the Savvy Shop!

What a great idea! Smart way to save in a few different areas in the house. I may need one for the bathroom, kitchen and my hair!
GERYL!!! Sorry for posting this so late, but when I read about that microfiber towel, I RAN to AutoZone to get one. They are huge! I used to save old t-shirts to plop my hair. Thanks to you, plopping with t-shirts is a thing of the past.
On a side note: I’m still loving the leave in conditioner recipie you posted a while ago. That stuff is pure bomb!
I kid you not…Now everytime that I see these towels I think of you. You make the PJ in me want to get one! LOL
I’m going to pick one up today. I’m so excited. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Thank you so much for this. I got a towel from Wal Mart and its great!
