T-shirt, Turbie, Towel, Microfiber What Do You Use?

[IDareT'sHair]

Hi Ladies!

Just wanted a little feedback on what you use after you Shampoo/Cowash/Cleanse/Deep Condition to remove excess water?

So, Please Reply and Let Me know "How Do YOU remove the Water?"

Right now I'm using a Towel, which being 13 months post, is making things difficult to detangle, so I'm thinking about using T-Shirts or some other means.

Thanking you in Advance for Your Help, Insight and Advice.

I use either a t-shirt or turbie.

Microfiber turbie. Got it at Walmart... I have 2.

 

[Coilystep]

Nothing. I style on wet hair. I stand on towel so floor doesn't get wet.

Nice Responses. Thank You.

Lawd...I bet I'm the only one who still uses a Towel

@stephanie75miller

So, You put Your Stylers directly over soaking wet hair and then allow to dry?

 

[LiftedUp]

I used to use a microfiber turbie but after it got worn, I didn't bother replacing it.

Now, I used my towel. I don't rub. I wrap it about my head, gently squeeze, then remove. If I want to air dry and thus want my hair dryer, o wrap it like a turban and leave for about 15 mins then remove.

@LiftedUp

Thank you. Do you see a difference between Towel vs Turbie?

 

[GGsKin]

I do the same as @stephanie75miller and style on wet hair without manual drying first. But if I need to, or I'm doing someone's hair, I'll use a t-shirt.

yes that is what I do. I keep a spray bottle with water in it handy as well. I think it cuts down on frizz.

I'm still using a towel. I've been stalking amazon for something better but don't even know what that is. I'll be watching this thread.

I try to use a t-shirt but really I mainly use just a regular old towel. Me personally, I think that it's ok to use a regular towel as long as your not scrunching or "swooishing" your hair around with the towel. I just wrap my hair w/ the towel for 1-5mins and then take the towel off.

Girl...right now I'm "Srunchin' and Swooshing" So I was going to look for something better/different.

@KammyGirl

Yeah Me Too!

It's good to see I'm not the only one still using a Towel to soak up excess water.

Thank you Both!

@stephanie75miller

Will definitely try this too. Thank You.

A male friend was trying to get me to try this, this summer and I blew him off.

Like: Hol' Up. You don't know nothin' 'bout no hair.

You're welcome

The key is not to rub. Otherwise I didn't see any difference at all

 

[JustSitNBePretty]

I use an old t-shirt. I have a microfiber turbie but it reminds me too much of a towel so I've only used it once. Can't remember how it turned out.

 

[AgeinATL]

I use a cotton t-shirt. It really does make a difference with my hair. Less frizz and no strands getting snagged in the towel fibers. Takes longer to remove the water but it's worth the trade off.

T-shirt

 

[Ogoma]

I use a microfiber towel. I agree with @AgeinATL that there is very little frizz. I get mine at Homesense (Canadian store in the TJ Maxx family of stores) for $8.

Thank You Both Ladies!

I use smooth bar towels (cotton) from Walmart. They are about $5 for 4 and they are about 20"x 20". I have about twenty of them and I use them exclusively for my hair.

I wash them in super hot water with no fabric softener or bleach, on extra rinse cycle so that all of the detergent is washed out. I don't want anything "extra" in my hair.
