One day I started researching ways to reduce frizz and damage. I noticed many people had stopped using traditional terry cloth and microfiber towels and were instead using a simple cotton t-shirt to dry their hair. It sounded strange, but I gave it a try—and it worked. I saw improvement almost immediately.

What I learned was that traditional towels contain loops, bumps, and ridges that create friction and snag delicate strands. That friction can lead to frizz, breakage, and flyaways. T-shirt fabric, on the other hand, is smooth and much gentler on hair.

But using a t-shirt had its own problems. It was awkward, not very absorbent, looked funny, and constantly slipped off my head. I assumed I could simply buy a t-shirt hair towel—but nothing existed that met the quality, function, and design I was looking for.

I wanted a hair towel that stayed in place, had a smooth and soft surface, absorbed water effectively, and was large enough to wrap hair comfortably.

So I decided to create one.

That decision eventually led to the creation of Hair RePear and The Ultimate Hair Towel.

My husband and I began searching for the perfect fabric—something lightweight, smooth, absorbent, and gentle enough to help hair maintain its natural shine and vitality. After a long search, we discovered the ideal material right here in the USA: premium 100% combed cotton interlock.

From there, we spent countless hours cutting, sewing, and refining the design until we created the perfect size and shape. We added a secure elastic band so the towel stays comfortably in place while you get ready.

In 2015, I made the decision to leave a successful teaching career to focus entirely on building Hair RePear.

In 2016, my husband and I had the incredible opportunity to meet Kevin Harrington, one of the original Sharks from Shark Tank, and film a commercial together. That same year, The Ultimate Hair Towel received the Editor’s Choice Award from naturallycurly.com. Today it is one of the top-selling cotton hair towels on Amazon and holds the Amazon’s Choice designation for cotton and t-shirt hair towels.

And we’re just getting started.

We believe it’s only a matter of time before women everywhere discover a better way to care for their hair—and add Hair RePear to their daily routine.
