Has anyone tried this type of hair towel? I saw them at TJ Maxx's today. I have the regular turbie twist towels but had never seen this kind. If you have, does it work good? ThanksYYXR Microfiber Hair Drying Towel Ultra Absorbent Twist Hair Turban Drying Cap Hair Wrap

I tried this kind years ago and discovered I didn't care for the  microfiber vs 100% cotton and button vs elastic loop on Turbie Twists.

I bought a microfiber towel that is meant to go to the gym, that isn’t Terry-like but is almost smooth. It is big enough to go around my hair and tie. I like this the best because it keeps my hair from getting frizzy.  

 

I am a "Curly Girl Method" follower and cotton only makes my hair messy and frizzy. Many people use a smooth knit  t-shirt to tie. My hair has never looked better.

@VenturaHighway  I have this and like it. I also have a glove made out of microfiber made to dry hair. It is also good, does the job.

I use the Calista thirsty towel and love it. (The picture is not me — she’s a lot younger.)

the all cotton are so much better for getting all the water out, which surprised me,

 

I love microfiber stuff for house cleaning

 

so stay with the all cotton ones for your hair when you can find them.

I have one or two of the microfiber and much prefer the 100% cotton.  Seems like the microfiber dries my coarse hair too fast.

They do, but I would not recommend that one. The microfiber that look soft and fuzzy like a stuffed animal is often the kind that clings to hair like Velcro and causes frizz. The microfiber that's not fuzzy and is tightly woven is much better. I like the Aquis towels and turbans.

@Alison Wonderland, I use Aquis waffle microfiber towels for my hair. Even so, I still just gently blot.

 

Using terry cotton on curly hair roughs up the cuticle, resulting if frizz.
