Hotel towel class total hair loss? Procurement needs to pay attention to the following issues!

June 05, 2024

ENGAGGED IN THE HOTEL LINEN INDUSTRY FOR MANY YEARS, often hear to consult customers come 

up to ask: "Your home towel class hair?" You've probably all been hurt by losing hair on a towel or bath towel. What kind of towel will lose hair? How 

to correctly judge towel products can not drop hair? For everyone to reveal the hotel towel class hair treatment method?


WHY DO TOWEL PRODUCTS LOSE HAIR?


First of all, we need to know that 80% of pure cotton towels are bound to lose hair, this is because in the process of making towel products, in order 

to meet the softness of the product, the twist of the coil will be appropriate to use the weak twist process, in such a case after washing and friction is 

easy to lose hair, other causes of towel hair loss are as follows


(1) The cotton yarn grade selected in the production of towels is low, the short fiber is more, the raw material is not good to lead to the wool loss of towel 

products, the good towel manufacturers will grab from the source, choose high-end cotton yarn, through strict process control, the produced towel products 

will not have hair loss phenomenon.


(2) There will be bleaching steps in the production process of towels, because the bleaching technology is immature, the cooking time is too long, so that 

the cotton fiber is damaged, so that it will also lead to the hair loss of the towel products.



(3) If the towel does not lose hair, but the later washing method is inappropriate, it will also lead to the hair loss of the bath towel, and some washing 

companies use inferior detergent in order to save costs, which will lead to the hair loss of the bath towel; Some washing companies in order to highlight 

the effect, excessive use of softener and bleach, will also cause bath towel hair.


(4) There is another reason, if placed for a long time, towel products fiber damage will also cause product hair loss, some hotels will stock, towel products 

stored for more than 6 months, circulation and washing frequency is not high, placed in a space with excessive humidity, so that cotton fiber tissue damage

it will cause towel products hair loss.


Secondly, the hair loss rate of the towel is determined by many factors such as cotton fiber length, pure cotton yarn count, yarn twist, yarn printing and 

dyeing process.


(1) COTTON FIBER LENGTH


Cotton can be divided into three categories: the first type of fiber is slender, the length of 2.5 to 6.5 cm (1 to 2.5 inches), shiny, including excellent quality island 

cotton, Egyptian cotton and horse cotton. Long staple cotton has low output, much labor and high price, and is mainly used for high-grade gauze and knitwear. 

China is less cultivated, in addition to Xinjiang long-staple cotton, mainly imported Egyptian cotton, Sudanese cotton and so on. The second category includes 

the general medium length of cotton, such as the United States upland cotton, the length of about 1.3~3.3 cm (0.5~1.3 inches), wide adaptability, high yield

longer fiber, good quality. Most cotton grown in China falls into this category. The third category is coarse cotton, about 1 to 2.5 cm (0.375 to 1 inch) in length

used to weave cotton blankets and inexpensive fabrics, or to blend with other fibers.


At present, the top towels on the market use the best island cotton, and the price of a towel is hundreds of yuan. The most cost-effective is medium 

length cotton high yield, long fiber. The cloth products woven with it are moderately priced, the cotton yarn is soft and comfortable, the hair loss rate 

is low, and can reach the level of excellent products.


(2) YARN CONNT


S is the British count, it refers to the common moisture return rate, the weight of a pound of yarn, its length of several 840 yards, called several yarns.

Generally, the longer the length, the higher the length uniformity and the less short velvet, the finer the yarn can be spun, the more uniform the strip 

dry, the higher the strength,and the surface is smooth and less hair. In general, the yarn branches of staple fibers are expressed in S, and the staple 

fiber is expressed in English as Spun.The thicker the yarn, the smaller the S value; The higher the yarn size the larger the S value. To put it bluntly, 

the larger the count, the finer the cotton yarn and the better the quality.



At present, there are 14, 16, 21, 32, 40 yarn weaving products on the market. 14, 16, 21 because the yarn is thicker, it is generally a single strand of 

yarn. 32 pieces, 40 pieces Because the yarn is very thin, generally double yarn, improve the strength of the yarn.


In summary, 14, 16 yarn quality is general, 21 yarn quality is slightly better, low hair loss rate, hotel towels prefer to use this cotton yarn, woven into 

high-density towels, feel good. The hair loss rate of 32 and 40 branches reached the level of excellent products, and the woven towels were also thicker 

and more absorbent.


(3) YARN TWIST


The definition of twist is the number of twists per unit length of yarn called twist. Yarn twist means that in order to make the yarn have a certain strength

elasticity, elongation, luster, feel and other physical and mechanical properties, it is necessary to change the cotton yarn fiber structure by twisting. In fact

the relative angular displacement between the cross sections of cotton yarn is used to make the original straight and parallel fiber and the yarn axis tilt to

change the yarn structure. The width of the thick strip gradually shrinks during the twisting process, and the two sides gradually fold and become involved 

in the center of the yarn strip, forming a twisting triangle. In the twisting triangle, the width and section of the cotton strip change, from a flat ribbon 

to a cylindrical yarn.


Yarn with high twist has high strength, cotton yarn fibers hold tightly and are not easy to lose hair. No twist towel, that is, no twist towel. The yarn is very 

weak it breaks when it is pulled, it loses hair very badly, but the advantage is soft, super soft. Japanese towels like to use this cotton yarn, light and soft 

texture, durability is very poor.


Weak twist, low twist can improve the thickness and softness of the towel. Yarn strength is general, hair loss is serious, low quality towels like to use this 

cotton yarn, the price is very cheap, the thickness is good, it can attract consumers, but the quality is general.


High-quality towels use high-end cotton yarn, the wool loss rate reaches the level of excellent products, the wool circle is dense, strong water absorption

yarn strength is high, very durable.


(4) PRINTING AND DYEING PROCESS


Yarn printing and dyeing process is mainly divided into two kinds: first dyeing and weaving and dyeing. The yarn is first woven and then dyed into a towel, 

and then dyed the towel. The dyeing time is long, and the finished towel can only be a solid color. Dyeing after weaving refers to the yarn is first dyed, and 

then woven into towels, dyeing time is short, the finished towel color diversity, rich patterns. The darker the color of the towel, the longer the printing time, 

the higher the damage to the cotton fiber. Therefore, hotel towels are generally white, because the need for a high frequency of washing process, otherwise 

it is easy to fade, and it is recommended to buy light colors for household use of towel products, which greatly reduces the damage caused by dyeing.



TOWEL PRODUCTS HOW TO DEAL WIHT HAIR LOSS?


Towel products most of the time can not be completely eliminated, but you can choose the right one at the time of purchase. So we recommend, do 

not buy too thick towel products, although such products feel very good in all aspects, but more easy to lose hair and expensive, moderate thickness 

of towel products is the most suitable, according to the different ways of use, it is recommended to prepare a variety of sizes and thickness of different 

products to use, this seems to be a waste, in fact, is the most appropriate and clean and hygienic.
