This week's Fab Finds were decidedly girly, dominated by all of the cute pink products for Breast Cancer Awareness month and lots of lacey, velvet, and feminine fashions.

Microfiber Towel

Low-Maintenance Must-Have: Microfiber Towel

Sometimes it's just too much trouble to subject yourself to a long hair-drying routine.

Sometimes it's just too much trouble to subject yourself to a long hair-drying routine. But if you leave the house with dripping wet hair, it's hard to make sure it will look nice when it dries, and you might catch a cold to boot. The key is getting your hair as dry as possible with a towel so you can style it before you leave the house. That's why every fan of low-maintenance beauty should have a microfiber hair towel, like this Aquis Essentials Microfiber Hair Towel, available here for $16.99, in her arsenal. These thin, compact, and ultra-absorbent towels will dry your hair far more efficiently than terrycloth; simply scrunch your hair in between the towel for a few minutes, apply some leave-in conditioner or styling paste, and you're good to go. Plus, microfiber dries incredibly fast, so these towels are also great to bring with you to the gym or when you travel.
