Abstract: A fitted hair towel (1) for drying hair naturally, thereby avoiding the damaging effects associated with typical electric heat drying apparatus. The fitted hair towel (1) is adapted to fit securely on the head so that it can be worn during any activity undertaken by the wearer without restricting the range of motion. An elasticized top edge (3) of the towel member (2) is wrapped from the back of the head at the hairline around the sides of the head to the forehead where inverted corners are secured by fasteners (8). The towel member (2) is wrapped around the hair to form a towel tube (19). The towel tube (19) is twisted and wrapped over the top and against the back of the wearer's head. A strap member (3) at the bottom edge (4) of the towel member (2) is pulled to draw together openings (14) located at the bottom edge (4), thereby gathering the bottom edge (4).
