What is a Hammam Towel and What Makes them so unique?

Let’s start with a fun fact: Did you know that Hammam towels have been used for centuries in Turkish baths, or Hammams, where they were an essential part of the ritual? It`s been in use since then, but what makes these towels so unique?

Firstly, Hammam Towels are flat-woven, which means that they have no loops like traditional terry cloth towels. This design makes them incredibly lightweight and thin, which is a plus when it comes to portability and storage. However, you may wonder, how can a towel that’s so thin and flat still dry you off effectively?

Here comes the magic!

Well, here comes the magic: Hammam towels are also incredibly hydrophilic, which means that they can absorb a lot of water. In fact, they’re more hydrophilic than terry cloth towels, which can make them even more effective at drying you off. Even though they’re thinner than traditional towels, Hammam towels can still dry you off just as well, if not better.

Dry-Quickly and Hygienic

Another advantage of Hammam towels is that they dry quickly, even at room temperature. The unique flat-woven design allows air to circulate more freely through the fabric, which means that water evaporates faster. This quick drying time has another advantage: since the towel doesn’t stay damp for long, it’s less likely to become smelly or moldy. This can be especially useful when you’re traveling or when you have limited space in your bathroom.

Unleash your inner fashionista!

Not only are these towels perfect for the home use and bath, but with a few simple knots and folds, they can also be transformed into chic and elegant beach dresses.
