Actually really good for hair, specially if you have long hair (I'm a woman with medium to long hair) - it's super lightweight and the fabric texture makes it stay wrapped in place regardless of how much you are moving about - which is not the case with other traditional towels or microfibre ones. It also dries really fast I've noticed despite it being made of what feels like a normal towel material, which I wasn't expecting. I tried it as a body towel and it works perfectly too, not ending up all damp and heavy like a normal towel, which is great (considering the size I got is smaller than an average bath towel) - on this, I think I would actually prefer taking this towel on trips and the gym rather than my microfiber one (microfiber gives me an icky sensation in general, so this is a great alternative without having to carry a normal heavy towel).
