I have used Turbie Towels for years. I love them. They make drying your hair so much more convenient. You flip your head, put the towel on, twist, flip back over and put the end through the loop. Easy peasy. My elastic loops have never broken.These are microfiber, so they feel slightly scratch on your fingers, but it’s not because they aren’t actually soft; it’s strange I know.I used to used these to sleep in, but now I try to used them for about 5 minutes, just to soak up most of the water from my hair. Then I take my hair out, put some cream and gel in, and then diffuse it.I have curly hair, so frizz is a major concern. I’ve read, and I believe it to me true, that these microfiber towels help prevent frizz.I’ve been experimenting with the best uses for these- be it keep my hair in until it’s completely dry, sleep in them, or use for a short time. I think the short time seems to work the best for me.I included photos of what my hair looked like yesterday after it dried.As a curly hair girl, I’ve tried so much stuff. The plopping method. The bowl method. Letting it dry naturally. Diffusing it. No matter what, I always use these towels.My new routine:I’ve been using Amika the Kure multitask repair treatment, followed by Amika soulfood mask as a conditioner (since I only wash my hair once or twice a week). I do this with my hair flipped forward and scrunch up to wash out.Once it’s out or mostly all out- particularly around the roots, I flip my head back up and with water running over it, I part and comb my hair and side bangs to where I want them to be when my hair is dry and styled.Then I flip my head over forward and comb my hair forward again. With my head still flipped forward and water running, I comb the back 1/2 to 2/3 to either side of my head. So, the front half is mostly combed forward, the back half is combed to either side and the water running makes it clump together into thicker pieces. Then I scrunch it up with my hands to release as much water as I can before applying Amika flash instant shine mask. I let that sit for a minute and then, still with my head flipped forward I gently rinse it out by scrunching up. I turn the water off. Still with my head flipped over, I try and separate my side bangs from the rest of the hair that’s combed forward.Then I spray It’s a 10 miracle leave in plus keratin into my hands about 5 sprays worth (not directly on my hair) and also scrunch this up into my hair. I spray some more into my hands and apply it directly to the ends.Now I put my hair in the Turbie Towel, and only twist it once, rather loosely. I keep my hair in this for about 5 minutes.I take it off and I apply Amika curl corps cream between my flat hands on either side of my hair with it flipped forward. I don’t comb it through, so I don’t break up the clumps of hair curls.I apply Amika curl corps gel by scrunching it up into my hair. Then I flip my head back (so I’m upright, and gently pull the strands to make my part where I want it. I apply more cream to the areas I messed with near my part if the clumps separated too much- to try and reshape them. Then I put more gel on.Then I use my hair dryer with a diffuser on warm- not hot, and dry scrunching up with my wad flipped with all the hair to one side, then the other side, then forward and finally when I feel like it’s about 60-75% dry, I use the cold blast setting on the dryer to kinda lock it in.I know this is a lot of possibly unnecessary info- but I hope it helps some curly haired people.*Side note: I am not sponsored by Amika. I just like the brand.
