"She uses two of these every time she washes her hair, one to squeeze out excess water first, [...] another to wrap her hair up. She swears by this drying method as a must if you want to speed up drying."

"It's way better than it used to be. It used to have like a button on the end and then you would try to fasten it. This just has a little elastic that you can use, it's way better. But this essentially just wicks away moisture really quickly in the hair, which allows your hair to stay more strong. [...] Wet hair is weak hair, so the faster you can kind of wick away the moisture without drying it, the better, and that's what these are for."

"The design is so much better than my previous ones and this wicks away moisture from the hair. I love these hair towels so much. [...] I want to replace all of my hair towels with the new shape because it just works so much better than the old one, which was like a button to fasten it. This just has like a little elastic that you loop the extra fabric through and it just works so well. I've been really really loving that."

"I've been using these same towels for about six years [...] because they still work really well and I haven't tried that many other options. I did try some cheaper ones that I got at a hair expo but they just didn't work as well and they had that thing where they sort of clung to your fingers and just felt really icky. These microfiber towels have very small fibers so they have a large surface area and that means they can suck the water out of your hair much faster than a regular towel."

How to dry your hair, according to science

"I blot it with a normal towel and then I squeeze and wrap it with an Aquis microfiber towel for about 5 minutes. I can't really leave this too long because it makes my fringe dry in a weird way and I cannot style my fringe for the life of me without properly wetting it and letting it air dry."

"Aquis, the Microfiber Hair Towel, I'm all about. I have several, I've had them for years. They were on the pricey side, and I think that was their ultimate downfall since consumers could get one at TJ Maxx for a fraction of the price, but they were more of an investment and they've definitely outlasted any of the TJ Maxx ones I've ever purchased."

"These hair turbans, the Aquis Microfiber Hair Towels, make a great gift. They pull the water out of your hair really quickly.

"This is a Microfiber Hair Towel that will help to quickly remove the majority of water out of your hair after you shampoo or after you get your hair wet, and this helps cut down on frizz and breakage. It's very gentle on the hair, it's not heavy, and it helps to also really efficiently absorb excess moisture from close to the scalp. Some towels are just very abrasive and ruffle the hair cuticle, and that can lead to frizz and depending on your hair type may make it even more prone to breakage."

"It cuts down on irritation in the scalp as well. [...] I have tried many [...] hair turban towels over the years, and these are superior—they get the water out a lot faster. [...] They also make them with copper, which is antimicrobial, but honestly I do not appreciate any difference between the two as far as their ability to remove water from my hair. They [...] also make them as plain towels, not the turban shape. Highly recommend them."

"The other thing I pack for my hair is the Aquis hair towel. [...] This is another thing that just like stays in my luggage. It is so light, it is so absorptive, so it really helps remove moisture from my hair. [...] I want to let some excess water absorb out of my hair because I usually do not travel with a blow dryer. I rely on the hotel blow dryer, which is usually pure trash."
