Dreadlocks Towel
Seasoned DreadHeads know that drying one's dreads is every bit as important as washing them. Unlike regular hair, dreadlocks are able to hold many times their own weight in water. Dreaded hair is packed together tightly and it's difficult to remove moisture from the inner-most core of the dreads. They must be dried from the outside in. Only after water has been removed from the outer layers of the dread, will moisture begin to wick outward from the inside to the outside of the dreads and complete the drying process. Clean dreads that are free of residue dry noticeably faster because the water is able to wick with less resistance but removing as much water as possible from the surface of the dread is still one of the most important factors of drying dreads. Advances in microfiber and "towel technology" if you will, has led to creation of super towels that can absorb more water faster. We've studied and tested with interest but until know we were less that blown away by the results.
