Here’s the website, if you want to read more about it.
The Turbie Twist has been around a long time, but I’ve never bought one. I think I considered buying it when I was doing a lot of wash n go’s, but when I found it wasn’t microfiber, I kind of put it out of my mind.I went on eBay and found a microfiber turban towel. That worked great while my hair was shorter, though I usually did have to end up putting another towel around it because it was thin.
Flash forward: I’m in the Sally’s buying perm rods and a new satin pillowcase. Since I can’t find any product worth buying, I have to buy something else 
I spot the Turbie Twist and put it in my basket.
Here’s the thing. My hair’s too big to stuff into that turban towel anymore.
Old turban towel vs Turbie Twist
On the left, old and busted…on the right, the new hotness!
Seriously, I like the Turbie twist much better. I initially thought that it was made of microfiber too, but the packaging says it’s made of terry. It doesn’t feel like your average towel though. It holds a lot more of my hair and doesn’t get soaking wet as fast. I won’t be using this when I’m doing a wash n go, because of frizz factors, but I’m going to be using it after I wash my hair for other styles.
It’s not bulky at all and it’s got a nice little elastic loop at the back that holds it tight. It stays on securely, even when you bend down to pick up your three year old! I think I left it on for up to 30 minutes and it only got saturated on the sides. This towel is also not a bad price at around 5 bucks.
I also see that they are available in two packs, though I’ve yet to come across this in the store.
Just a side note: I’ll try to post pictures of my rodset tomorrow. I’m also behind on emails again but I’m working this weekend so I’ll have to get to them Monday or so.

wow thats handy, I don’t use towels on my hair as of yet, but when I do, I will look on ebay for one of these babies! And LOLz at the Men in black quote, I thought I was the only one who used that one
Totally off topic…Kcurly I hope you haven’t stopped buying Nubian Heritage soaps because of what some posters said. They shouldn’t have used it on their hair, so of course it dried it out! Their soaps like any other soap are meant for the skin and NH quality is excellent. They also makes lotions, shampoos, conditioners and many other things that have been raved about. I have yet to see a negative review of their products. Read what I recently wrote on your Nubian Heritage post.
yahvinah, I was wondering if anyone would recognize that quote! LOL!
i got the turbie twist from my co-worker last xmas, of course i was a permie so i rarely washed my own hair. fast fwd to now since i was my own hair about every 2 days the turbie comes in handy!
I LOVE the Turbie Twist, got mine a few years back and use it everyday. I have semi-wavy long hair and this works great to suck up all that water so that I don’t have to spend so much time drying it with a hair dryer. So you all know, you can buy these at many different retailers:
Bed Bath & Beyond
QVC
Sally Beauty Supply
Ross
Big Lots
Harmon Stores
Christmas Tree Shops
Shopko (just to name a few)…
Oh, how cute. I like the texture too. It wont be ripping out my hair. I’ll be purchasing one most definently.
