@rochelleS...I have an aquis towel but not the turban (it’s on it’s way). I like the towel but it’s not quite big enough for Plopping. I’m looking forward to trying the turban.

Rochelle, I got my Aquis turbies today in the mail, but DH has a huge load of laundry in the washer right now, so I have to wait until it's done to do a quick hand-wash of the turbies and let the machine give them a quick spin to get most of the water out.  Then I have to wait until his laundry is out of the dryer to put the turbies in to get them dry!  I hope I get to try them tonight!  ("MEN!  Can't live with 'em, can't bury 'em in the backyard or the dogs will dig 'em up!")

Yay! Mine haven't arrived yet, should be here soon though. I must admit when I received my first order I was so excited to try the new turbie that I didn't prewash it. 🙄 I jumped right in without reading the directions and it was super absorbent and I fell in love. I did an "oops" when I saw the instructions, oh well, there's worse things than my eager oversight.

I'm looking forward to hearing how you like your new turbie very soon. 😊 Hug your hubby! I'm one who'll always appreciate a guy doing his laundry! ♡♡♡

P.S. @CamilleP, you'd questioned the shipping time up thread. It appears your turnaround time was a week. That's pretty darn good in the midst of seasonal mail.

Well, I hand-washed and rinsed both of them, but after the first dunking I did them separately!  I ordered one in a sort of mint green and the other is burgundy-colored.  If I had not pre-washed that one I would have had dark red streaks in my hair!  It bled into the wash water, it bled into the rinse, I soaked it in water with apple cider vinegar (hoping that would act as a mordant) and it bled into that, then I soaked it in salt water (another mordant candidate) and it bled into that.  So I spun it out separately,  and am going to dry it in a medium-heat dryer and HOPE that sets the color!  I really don't want wine-colored streaks on my hair, LOL

The drier seems to have set the color in the wine-colored turbie, thankfully.  I am very impressed with how much better this brand works than any other hair towel I have ever used, it really does absorb better, and it also dries faster when I hang it up.  I'm really glad I bought two, although they seem to be incredibly durable, I expect them to last for years.

Back with my review. 

This towel is amazing!!  OMG as soon as I took it out of the package, the feel of the towel, pure luxury.  The material is so different than the drug store turbie towels.  I bought the gray and wine.

Opened the gray and used it without reading the directions too LOL ( I didn't prewash it prior to use).  Thank you to @CamilleP posting about the wine towel bleeding.  I will have to definitely remember to wash it before using separately from my other laundry.

My curls stay curls.  I use my Wen products, put the towel on after my shower and when I take it off my curls are defined.  Leave the rest air dry and out the door to work I go.

Thank you for recommending this towel.

I'm glad you caught my post about the wine color bleeding, depending on your hair color you might have had a VERY interesting hair color job right before the holidays, or at least a laundry disaster!

This hair wrap is super amazing!  I missed out on the sale, so I got one at Bed Bath & Beyond...(probably paid more $) mine was $!9.00....but so glad I did, it gave my hair kind of a softre different texture..(and I already used another nice head wrap) so it's a winner here!

The QVC Big Deal V-35956 is a set of 5 Turbies.

They're 100% cotton.

Are these a different size or fabric than the turbies

that were offered on gmadeals earlier this month?

[CamilleP]

Hedge, the QVC version is not the Aquis brand, and is just basically a terrycloth towel sewn into a turban.  It is a little more absorbent than the interlock turban I bought at Walmart, but it can leave your hair quite frizzy in comparison to either interlock cotton or the Aquis brand, which has more of a suedecloth texture, and does not leave hair frizzy.  Now that I've used all three brands, I can state that, IMHO, the Aquis is by far the best quality product.  If you don't get frizzy hair, then the QVC towels will probably be okay.
