along the width of the towel.
They minimize fraying at stress points (especially near hems).
They help the towel maintain its shape wash after wash.
Without these bands, towels would sag, warp, or develop thin, worn patches much faster.

The bands are typically woven with a different weave pattern (like dobby or jacquard) than the plush loops of the main towel surface. This creates subtle zones that:
Wick moisture toward drier areas for more even drying.
Reduce clumping of wet
