Advantages: cheap, dries hair naturally, keeps hair off face

Disadvantages: none

I just don't seem to have as much time as I used to, now that I have a little one crawling around, to give my hair the much needed attention that it deserves. Needless to say that my hair hasn't been the most important of things to deal with of late and if I were to describe my hair as 'wild and frizzy', it would be an understatement.

I have shoulder length curly hair which takes a long time to dry. My preferred method of drying is to let it dry naturally, but this can take a few hours. So I usually end up blasting it with a hair dryer (which makes it frizzier) and putting my hair up in a ponytail.

I saw the Turbie Towel at my local Wilkinson's for 99p in the beauty section (they sell for a few pounds if you buy them from shopping channels or from the internet). It was one of those impulse buys and as it only cost 99p I wasn't too bothered if I never used it again. But this has to be one of my 'best buys' for a long time, as it is very useful.

Why is it called a 'Turbie' towel? I have no idea. Seems like a silly name to me as it doesn't turbo-dry your hair! The Turbie Towel is a 100% pure White cotton wrap that fits perfectly around your head and has a non-slip loop system to keep in place. It is lightweight and not as heavy as normal bath towels and dries hair quickly.

You can use it to dry your hair after a shower or to keep your hair from your face when applying fake tan/moisturiser.

Using the Turbie towel is very easy. Towel dry the excess water from your hair with a separate towel then place the towel on the back of your head, so that the elastic loop is at the back. Twist you hair wrapped in the towel and place on top of your head. You then insert the end of the towel through the elastic loop and tie, like you would a ponytail. That's it, no more to it.

It stays in place for as long as you want it to. Like an ordinary towel is it machine washable and as it is thin and light, it dries in no time at all. I don't have any complaints at all about the towel and can't think of any disadvantages.

Why do I like it? It lets me carry on doing the usual things that I do around the house while keeping my hair off my face and drying it naturally. It stops my hair from being frizzy and lets me wear my hair down, without me having to wait hours for my hair to dry. A must have bargain at 99p.
