A good hair wrap should feel secure while you move through the rest of your routine. The NIGHT Quick Dry Hair Towel gathers damp hair into a lightweight microfiber wrap and fastens with a button and loop.

The most useful adjustment is a small one: twist the towel gently enough to hold the hair without pulling at your roots. Here is how to get the fit right.

Twist, wrap and secure

  1. Start with damp hair. After washing, gently squeeze out excess water with your hands. Gather the lengths into the towel.
  2. Twist gently. Bring the long end around your hair and make a loose twist. If it tugs at your hairline, release it and begin again with less tension.
  3. Bring the twist back. Wrap the twisted end toward the back of your head, keeping your hair tucked inside.
  4. Fasten the loop. Secure the loop over the button. The wrap should stay in place comfortably while you get dressed or finish skincare.

How long should you wear it?

Use the wrap to absorb excess water before your next styling step. There is no single drying time for every head of hair: length, thickness and how wet your hair is when you start all matter.

Check the lengths, then release the wrap when your hair is ready for your usual styling routine. The towel does not need to stay on until every strand is dry.

Check the fit before you choose a pack

Each NIGHT towel measures 25 × 10 inches and is made from 100% polyester microfiber terry, exclusive of trims. Consider both the length and thickness of your hair. The one towel and two towel packs use the same towel size; the larger pack gives you a spare for laundry day.

Wash and dry it with care

  • Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild soap.
  • Do not bleach.
  • Tumble dry on low heat.
  • Let the towel dry fully before storing it.

If your wrap feels uncomfortable

Undo it rather than tightening it further. Check that the hair is gathered inside, twist more loosely and fasten again. Avoid using the towel to rub or pull at your hair.

Make it part of your routine

Once the wrap comes off, use your usual styling products. NIGHT’s leave in conditioning spray is a separate step for wet or dry hair; follow its directions for application.
