To twist a hair towel, especially a specialized design like the Turbie Twist, follow these steps:
-
Placement: Place the towel over your head, positioning the elastic loop at the nape of your neck. This ensures a secure fit. (Source: Turbie Twist - How to Use)
-
Twisting: Twist the towel firmly but gently, starting from the top, until it is securely wrapped around your hair. The amount of twist needed will depend on the length and thickness of your hair and the towel's design.

Securing: Once twisted, the towel should be snug but not overly tight to prevent discomfort. For towels with an elastic loop, tuck the twisted end through the loop to secure it. (Source: Turbie Twist the Super-Absorbent Hair Towel! - YouTube)
Different hair towels may require slight variations in the twisting technique. Some, like the Twist & Tie microfiber towel, might involve a twisting and tying method rather than relying solely on an elastic loop. Finding the right balance of twist tightness is important to ensure the towel stays in place without being uncomfortable. (Source: Hair towel twist : r/tumblr)
Tips for Success:
- Practice makes perfect. It might take a few tries to find the optimal twisting technique for your hair and chosen towel.
- Use a towel designed for this purpose. Microfiber towels, like the ones from Turbie Twist and I DEW CARE, are designed to absorb water effectively and stay in place.
- Consider your hair type and length. Adjust the twisting technique accordingly.
