Reddit reviews Turbie Twist Microfiber Hair Towel (2 Pack) Light Pink - Dark Pink

Get a Turbie Twist if you have long hair. Even shorter drying time!

Set our your outfit for the day the night before. Also pack your bag and your lunch the night before if you bring it to work.

If you're really desperate to save time, brush your teeth in the shower while you're waiting on your conditioner.

Shower the night before--if you really don't want to do that at least wash your hair the night before.

Get a more powerful hair dryer that dries hair faster.

My hair slips right out of headbands. I either put it in a ponytail or wrap my hair up in one of these. https://www.amazon.com/Turbie-Twist-Microfiber-Towel-Light/dp/B00CP4QKT4

9-5'er checking in- I've been working out 7-8 am, M-F for the last ~3 months and I love it. (never thought I'd say that lol!)

I can actually get ready for work faster at the gym than at home because of the lack of distractions. I'm asking for a gym bag for Christmas, because all of this crap does not fit in any single bag that I own lol. I bring a towel, turbi-twist, toiletry bag with shampoo/conditioner/face wash/body wash/razor, hanging toiletry bag with heat protectant spray/deodorant/body spray/moisturizer/cotton swabs, makeup bag, straightener, body lotion, dry shampoo (clean freak for the days I don't wash my hair, shower shoes, and small zippered bag for my jewelry. I keep extra pairs of undies in a small pocket of my bag, and should probably actually keep an entire change of clothes in my car. I have forgotten underwear, bra, and towel before (not all on the same day, haha!). It's super important to prepare everything the night before. I lay my towel out in the backseat of my car during my work day so it dries. I keep my work clothes folded in my bag overnight and during my workout, and I haven't had a problem with wrinkly clothes, I guess partly because of the type of fabrics I wear (drapey tops and jersey knit skirts).

Sorry for the stream of consciousness lol. I am a huge advocate of the before-work workout.

I'm almost ashamed to say it, but I've been using one of those TurbieTwist microfiber things for awhile, and it works great.

I use a microfiber hair towel turbie twist and it works great! They have them at walmart for like 5$. It's cool 'cause it has a loop thing that you can secure the twist with so that it doesn't unravel!

Yes! I've been plopping like this for a while so I think your lengthy should be fine. I have a couple different versions of a turbie towel mostly so I can always have at least one clean one even if I haven't done laundry in a while. I use the same method for plopping (flip head over and lover curls into the towel) but I wear the towel backwards from the way they show it on the packaging so the twist doesn't muss up my hair.

The microfiber sucks water out of my hair pretty quickly so I don't still have really wet hair when I take it down (which was a big problem for me with a shirt) and it really cuts down on the time it has to be up before I defuse.

The praying hands method can elongate curls slightly, heavier products can also do something similar. That said, more substantial elongation usually requires weighing down the curl clumps while they dry and the effect is only temporary. As your hair gets longer, it will be heavier and may also elongate your curls. Permanently elongating the hair requires chemically treating it which will damage the hair, but it won't be curly until new growth happens.

Frankly, I'd go for thicker curls in your hair rather than trying to elongate them. The thicker variety will be heavier. A curl cream can help your hair clump into thicker curls and may elongate them a bit. Layer a gel over it to hold the curl shape. What I do, is put product in and scrunch my hair a few times to make it coil up, then put it into a microfiber turban (I like Turbie Twist) for about 15 to 30 minutes before letting it out and finish air drying naturally for a few hours. I have a lot of hair so it takes a while to air dry. You can try the technique I mention in my post, it's a bit more involved but you can skip some of it.

As for creams, you can try Camille Rose Aloe Whipped Butter Gel, which is lighter, or Eden Bodyworks Natural Curl Defining Cream, which is heavier.

i used to get that a lot more (still kind of do) but what helped the most was using more conditioning conditioners and applying more gel near my roots to my hair. i have dry scalp so i don't apply it to my scalp. i more of smooth product on my nape of my neck, both sides of my head and then the top. then i squish it in.

i also use a microfiber turbie twist. https://www.amazon.com/Turbie-Twist-Microfiber-Towel-Light/dp/B00CP4QKT4

I use these. They stay in place and they are the perfect size.

I use one called a Turbie Twist. I'm in Australia and they're available in a Target-like shop called Big W here. I found them on Amazon (let's see how that linking goes!)
I like that there's no elastic around the head so I can wrap them as tightly or loosely as I want depending on what I'm going for, and I can plop into them and then wrap them up.

I have suuuuper curly hair and was previously using a long sleeved t-shirt to plop my hair, but I have since moved on to a Turbie Twist. It's microfiber and is perfect for starting the drying process without crushing or snagging my curls, and it's great for keeping my hair out of my face when I do my routine/makeup!
