[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I recently noticed a blogger friend on Instagram wearing the Aquis turban, which made me realize I have been using my reliable Aquis towel for over a decade. Founded in 1990, it might even be older. It has become an essential part of my bathroom routine – I use it almost every time I wash my hair to wrap up my wet strands. The towel efficiently absorbs moisture, reducing the need for excessive squeezing and rubbing before blow-drying.

The brand claims that using a moisture-wicking towel or turban can reduce drying time by up to 50%. Unlike regular cotton towels, the Aquis fabric (Aquitex) is designed using sports technology, known for its quick absorption properties (similar to sports clothes that absorb sweat rapidly to prevent skin chafing). Simply squeeze your hair with the Aquis towel to avoid unnecessary rubbing and hair damage.

I received the luxurious Double Turban in Midnight Blue, which features a silky cover over the towel section, giving it an elegant touch. However, I personally prefer the simple single-layer design in red. While I lean towards towels over turbans, using a towel depends on your turban tying skills, and mine tend to end up crooked.

An advantage of a pre-made turban is the convenient button closure. While these turbans can be a bit pricey – £50 for the double turban – Look Fantastic currently offers a 40% discount, bringing the price down to £30. Considering the longevity and utility of the product, the price seems more reasonable. Single-layer turbans in other colors are now available for £18 from the original £30, and I believe they are a worthwhile investment given their durability. The towels are also discounted to £18 from £30. Few beauty tools endure as well as the Aquis turbans, making them a valuable asset, especially for delicate hair. Treating your hair gently, similar to how you care for delicate fabrics like silk, can significantly improve its health. Gone are the days of rough scrubbing – now, it’s all about gentle care.
