    What the gurus are saying

    This microfiber towel wicks away water fast enough to cut drying time roughly in half, and that speed matters because it means less heat damage and frizz. Gurus praise how gentle it is on the hair cuticle compared to regular towels, which can ruffle and weaken strands. The redesigned elastic fastening (replacing an older button) makes it far easier to secure and keeps it in place while your hair dries.

    "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. It helps cut down on frizz, which I have, and that's the biggest thing I've noticed since using those. I've been using them for a couple of years now and it makes a huge difference."

    "A hair tool that really can change the game for you in terms of frizz and hair breakage is the Aquis hair towel. 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. On Nordstrom you can get a two pack of them, which I think is a really great gift because it's always nice to have two or more of these."

    "I suggest those microfiber towels to towel dry your hair because they really absorb the water very quickly and pull it up away from the scalp. [...] I use this Aquis Microfiber Hair Towel. I've had them for years now. They've held up, and I know you can get very inexpensive ones at like Ross, TJ Maxx, those kind of places."

    "I have, I think, four Aquis hair towels now. I just love them. They really do a good job pulling all the excess water out of the hair and drying it quickly, and that helps reduce frizz and makes the hair more manageable. 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."

    "I cannot hype these up enough. The Aquis hair towels remove the water from your hair so quickly and they are really lightweight on the head as you're doing the rest of your nightly routine or getting ready. You can just wear these very comfortably. They're not heavy, unlike other microfiber towels. They're a lot more expedient with the water removal and that helps your hair a lot. It helps cut down on frizz, breakage, and fragility. These are also helpful because as they're removing that water quickly, it cuts down on exposure time of water to your scalp. If you live somewhere with really hard water, that hard water can leave a film behind on the scalp that contributes to scalp itch and little itchy bumps. So it's good for your hair but also beneficial for your scalp. If you've been using regular bath towels to dry your hair, they're very inefficient at removing the water and they're heavy and can put a lot of weight on your hair strands that can contribute to breakage and discomfort at the scalp. I highly recommend these towels."

    "I have used Aquis hair towels since the beginning of time and I love them so much but I recently tried out their newest style and I'm even more in love. 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. I've noticed a difference when I use those, plus it wicks away moisture so fast that I feel like it cuts my hair dry time in like half, which is really great."

    "This is the Aquis hair towel and I'm already a fan of Aquis hair towels but they redesigned it. 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."

    "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. Because a lot of these hotel hair dryers are just like a ton of hot air and not a lot of actual moving air, I want to remove as much water as possible so that it's not just boiling my hair strands."

    "My favorite towels for this are the Aquis towels. 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."

    "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."
