How to Choose a Towel with Low Shedding Rate?

1. On-site Shedding Test

Gently rub the surface of the towel with your hand or on a smooth surface to observe if any fibers fall off. Products with significant shedding are not recommended for purchase.

Some brands provide shedding rate test reports; consumers can request to see the corresponding certificate of conformity.

2. Pay Attention to Fiber Type and Thread Count

Natural cotton fibers such as long-staple cotton and short-staple cotton have naturally low shedding rates and a soft feel. The higher the thread count, the finer and denser the fibers, and the lower the risk of shedding.

Although bamboo fiber has antibacterial properties, its shedding rate is relatively high under high-intensity friction; consider the intended use when purchasing.

3. Check the Manufacturing Process and Dyeing and Finishing Procedures

Towels produced using the "weave-then-dye" process are more prone to fiber loosening after dyeing, resulting in a relatively higher shedding rate. Towels produced using the "dye-then-weave" process complete the dyeing before fiber formation, reducing the risk of shedding.

Pay attention to whether anti-shedding finishing processes (such as setting agents and softeners) are used; these treatments significantly improve the durability of the towel.

4. Consider Brand Reputation and Quality Certification

Choosing brands that have passed national quality standards (GB/T22864-2020) or manufacturers with international certifications (such as ISO9001) and experience in collaborating with well-known OEM partners ensures a higher guarantee of low-hair-shedding products.

Jiangsu Busy Man Textile Co., Ltd. has provided high-standard towels to international brands such as Disney, Procter & Gamble, and Volvo. Their products have undergone rigorous testing in key indicators such as hair shedding rate and absorbency, making them trustworthy.
