I've tried many cheaper versions of these drying turbans, and this is certainly a case of "You get what you pay for!" As soon as I felt it, I knew it was better quality. I have wavy hair that needs product or it gets frizzy. When I took this off my head after my shower, my hair was ALMOST DRY and I had all these well defined curls! I couldn't believe it. And the large button and wide loop make it easy to put on, unlike the others with the small button and tight loop that were so frustrating - they went right into the donation pile. Don't hesitate, this is worth the money! Read more

When I saw this online, I knew I had to buy one. I have often wondered why I should have to balance a heavy towel on my head -that hurts my arthritic neck and falls off whenever I lean over- just to keep wet hair from dripping all over until I can do something with it. It is an annoying, achy, balancing act. The Aquis Hair Turban looked like the solution I've been looking for all of my adult life. It's a microfiber ready-made turban of 80% polyester and 20% nylon, 27 inches long, which will fit all but the longest hair. My hair is thick and shoulder-length and there is space for more than twice that in the turban.I twist my hair into the turban, button it in the back of my head, and my hair is out of the way until I want to dry it or style it. The turban is lightweight and securely fixed to my head. It won't come off if I do jumping jacks. It never gets in the way of anything. And microfiber creates less friction against the hair than a looped cotton towel, resulting in less frizz, which is why microfiber is considered Curly Girl-friendly. I have finely-textured hair and pulling a big, cotton towel off of my head sometimes snagged hairs and broke them. This turban is gentle on my hair, comfortable, and eminently practical.I was surprised to read that some reviewers expected this turban to reduce drying time. Then I looked at Aquis' web site and saw that they advertise their microfiber products as "rapid dry." This is misleading. Microfiber does not absorb as much water as cotton. It absorbs excess water but leaves the hair damp. This is by design. Your hair won't dry in the shape of the turban. You can lock the moisture in with your styling products. You can style the hair at your leisure or scrunch it to enhance curls or waves; it will remain damp until you remove the turban. It's the opposite of quick-drying.For me, the Aquis Hair Turban is a brilliant solution to a vexing problem. I love it. No more aching neck. No more rush to do something with my hair because I can't do anything with a big, heavy towel balanced precariously on my head. It's attractive, machine-washable, and perfect. The Hair Turban will probably work for hair that is halfway down your back but no longer. There is a long version (44 inches), though I'm not sure how practical it is to pile that much hair on your head, even if you can get it into the turban. There is also a waffle version, but it seems to me that would create more friction. Read more

I was hesitant to purchase this turban but when reading why its beneficial I figured I'd give it a try.It really does leave my hair silky and much less frizzy than when I used my towels. It dries my hair a decent amount and itself dries very quickly. It fits comfortably on my head and is a much less of a hassle than putting a huge towel - so you are more mobile =). There is no tugging or pulling, you comfortably adjust it and go about your getting ready.I suggest not leaving your hair up for too long before drying because towards the sides of the head, it takes on the shape unless you are going to be styling it. Definitely recommend! Read more

I bought the towel for my daughter who has wavy hair and lets it air dry. We thought the towel would cut down on dry time and also preserve her wave. Turns out the towel just preserves moisture. She wore the towel for an hour and when she took it off her hair was as wet as when she put the towel on. In an effort not lose out on the purchase entirely I tried it on my hair which is wavy but I blow dry it straight daily. The towel is fine but does seem to dry my hair less than a regular bath towel without any benefit. So it is basically an over-priced hair towel that fails to set itself apart from other towels except that it seems a bit less absorbent. Read more

If I could give this product zero stars I would. Soft? As soft as a scratchy motel towel. As far as the sizing goes this is literally only for a child. I have an extremely small head and cannot wear adult hats however this leaves probably an inch of space around the bottom and top of my head that is not even covered by the towel. Not sure if this is just a knock off the real product or if it is just literally useless but I will be throwing it away we’re converting it to a dust rag. Read more

I’m trying to love this, the quality is very nice, however I think I am having issues with elastic fittings being too tight. So this goes on different from other turban towels. But trying to get this to fit my apparently gigantic head is a struggle 🤷🏻‍♀️. To be fair I tried this when my hair was dry. The fit was uncomfortable and tight on me. Also note as I do have a rather med slightly large forehead, i’m not a big girl. This thing pulls my face and it doesn’t sit on my head right. So I guess when I wash my hair tomorrow I’ll try this out and hopefully it will workout fine. So far it’s small and awkward. I can see the button falling off or the tab thing eventually breaking off. Plus there is no stretch on the tab thing, maybe I’ll add a tab thing that stretches, shall see.-update: it’s just way too tight! It was giving me a headache and I just couldn’t take how tight it was, I lasted barely 5 min! So since I already washed this and tried it on, I won’t bother to return it. But now I’m working on taking off the elastic and I added a extra length to the tie part. What a pain! Maybe the updated ones they took off the elastic? My hair is now drying with my ever so soft, soft cheap turban towel that I bought 2 for a very fair rate (YoulerTex). Not sure if it’s bad for my hair, but at least it’s gentle. Oh and ha, I realized today I’ve been putting these turban towels on wrong. -Actually cutting some of the elastic made a huge difference, but more needs to be taken off. I can’t even comment on how much it dries my hair though. Bleh… Read more

This aquis hair towel is fab. I used the brand NuMe before this, but it did not absorb the water as quickly, as it was not microfibre like this one. I leave this on my hair for 20 minutes after washing ( i have long hair) and my hair is half dry when i take it out! This works well for me as i let my hair air dry anyway, so saves me so much time.

I saw the product recommended in a magazine. Having tried other hair towels before, it really does soak up more water than the others I have tried, so I am very happy with it. In retrospect, I would have gone for a different colour as it goes off white after alot of use, but that is just my personal view, not a fault of the product Read more

This is great for wearing round the house whilst my hair dries and also ideal for the gym. Much better than a normal towel as it is smaller and designed to stay on your head but not sure it makes hair dry quicker than a normal towel to be honest. Read more

Why did I not discover these sooner! They make life after washing my hair SO much easier as I can go off and do stuff while my hair dries by about 40%. Towels are useless for me- they always fall off and you can't do housework with a towel on your head. They soak up the water, are kind to my hair (which is a bit damaged from straightening) and they fit very neatly on my head. Highly recommend. Read more

Great product, it is so much nicer than having to use a full towel for my hair. The only thing i would prefere instead of the button would be an elastic loop, as my hair is very thick and can only think in a matter of time it may need to be sewed back on. It is a great necessity for a woman to have. Read more
