Securing a towel on your head depends on your purpose. Whether you're drying your hair, cooling down, or using it for a facial, the method varies.
Keeping a Towel on Your Head for Hair Drying
This is a common use case, especially after showering. Here's how to effectively keep a towel on your head for hair drying:
- Method 1: The Wrap: Place the towel on your head, then bring both sides to the nape of your neck, wrapping it snugly around your head. Tuck the ends securely under the wrapped portion to prevent slipping. (Based on wikihow.com)
- Method 2: The Turban: Fold the towel lengthwise into a long strip. Place the center of the towel on the top of your head. Wrap one end around your head, then bring the other end across and wrap it around your head, securing the ends under the folded portion at the back of your neck.

Tips for a Secure Wrap:
- Use a large, absorbent towel.
- Avoid wrapping it too loosely; a snug fit prevents slippage.
- Consider using a microfiber towel, known for its absorbency and less roughness. (Referenced by multiple sources)
Keeping a Towel on Your Head for Cooling or Other Purposes
For cooling purposes (like after a workout or during a fever), a simpler method works best:
- Method 3: The Simple Drape: Place the damp, cool towel on your head, allowing it to rest gently. You can use a headband to keep it in place if needed.
For facials, a smaller towel might be used, possibly secured with clips or held in place by the esthetician. (Referenced by salongeek.com)
Regardless of the method, ensuring the towel is appropriately sized and the wrapping is snug will improve its ability to stay on your head.
