Microfiber hair turban

I agree! I always bring a Turbie Towel or similar. One tip - don't bring a white one - I can't count how many white ones have been swept up with the hotel linens and lost for good.

Thanks for this recommendation. I have considered this, but never bought one.

I always bring one and use them at home as well. It saves on towels, it dries very quickly and takes up very little space in my bag. I usually bring the one my granddaughter gave me that is in bright Christmas colors. There's no way I can miss that one!

I always pack my Turbie Towel (& use at home). Advice to NOT pack a white one so it doesn't get mixed up with hotel towels is right on! They add so little weight but make getting ready so much nicer. I rarely use hotel towels though. I like the King Size Travel Towel I got from the Rick Steves shop here. Dries super quick.

Another yes vote! I have long, curly hair, and the microfiber is much kinder to it than a terrycloth towel. I use my wrap at home and always pack one when I travel.

This is one of the many reasons that I love the Rick Steves Forum--here's a recommendation for an item that I never knew existed but needed! I just ordered the YFONG 2 Pack Microfiber Hair Towel Wrap from Amazon. It has a button attachment that I'd read in the comments section was very effective. For $8.54 for two, I went for it. I always use two towels after my shower. I only get one usually in an apartment rental/hotel in Europe. This looks quite packable without taking much room. Thanks Judith.

I have been taking one for a while. One suggestion…I have really short hair (and a small head) and I got mine at Dollar Tree. It’s smaller and not as thick, but works fine for me because of what I mentioned. It rolls up extremely small.
At home I use a regular turbie twist product, but this one is great for travel.

I love a quick-dry hair wrap!

I’m a huge fan of the microfibre hair turbans from Dock & Bay. They’re a UK company I think so I’m not sure if their stuff is available elsewhere.

I have three I use at home in rotation with my bathroom towels, and another two for gym use and/or travel.

Every woman in my family has been gifted one of these (by me) and they all have bought more.

It avoids all that dripping as you try to dry your hair. I have shoulder length wavy hair with a tendency to frizz, and I’ve been pretty much frizz-free since I started using these on an every day basis.

Well, of course I had to look that up, Golden Girl, and found that Dock & Bay has a US website with some pretty luscious looking hair towels available. I love some of the designs! https://us.dockandbay.com/collections/hair-wraps?

ETA: Dock & Bay also has some on Amazon. I just ordered one as I'm curious to see how they match up against the Turbie Towels.

Well, of course I had to look that up, Golden Girl.

As I wrote that, I did wonder if it’d be a whole Roka-style enabling thing. :-)

I brought one on my last trip and absolutely loved having it. I use one at home, so I don’t know why it never occurred to me to bring it on a trip before.

"As I wrote that, I did wonder if it’d be a whole Roka-style enabling thing. :-)"

I'm betting that was everyone's thought as they started reading the thread!

I love some of the prints on the Dock website! I was just doing a towel wash this morning and was looking at my hair towel which is now strange color since it picked up dye from my teal bath towels. I have short hair which I have been cutting even shorter when I travel so really no need for a hair towel even though I always use one at home. BUT I love the discussion!!

Ha ha ha!!! We should all form a female rock group and call ourselves the Enablers. We could sing about our purchases and then sell them in the lobby!

Thanks for the recommendations. I have one at home, but I'm not sure if it's microfiber or not. It certainly won't hurt to have a second one.

Apparently, I'm easily influenced, at least when it comes to travel items. I was at TJ Maxx yesterday and noticed they had a pack of two microfiber hair turbans for sale ($5.99), which I now own. I think the hair turban will pack up smaller than the microfiber towel that I usually take on trips for my long hair.

Well I bought a navy Dock and Bay towel from Amazon for about $11 thanks to Golden Girl. I have curly hair and have read numerous times that terry cloth towels are the worst but have never done anything different until now. I decided to buy a recommended brand so if I didn’t like it-well I would be sure I didn’t like it.

I used it this morning. When I took it off not too long after, I was shocked by how dry my hair was as well as laying where it ought to be.

I am a convert.

So many things I now own that I never even heard of until someone posted about them here!

I never heard of these either. I can't to try one. Thanks, Judith!

Excellent!

This is so great!! You can all see the wonderful value of traveling with one. Men, too, they're not just for lots of hair:)

I have been using these at home for over 25 years, but do not take them with me on my travels. We pack very light, and these do not make the cut for me. They work great though! I keep one in the guest bathroom as well.
