It's fantastic and has made so much difference to the condition of my hair - just how I'm unsure - but leaving my hair to dry in it for a while just makes my hair so much softer and shinier.

I will be back today to stock up before a MN rush begins :-)

Will definitely be checking that out!

I always use those. I leave my hair in it as long as possible and it is very bouncy and shiny with just a quick blast of the dryer.

They are fantastic for dc with long hair. We can come home from swimming lesson without faffing for ages trying to dry hair. If it is cold outside dd just puts her hood up over the turban.

neepsntatties · 14/05/2012 08:48

Sounds fab! Where can you get them?

lumbago · 14/05/2012 08:57

i looked in pound land - not one!
noddy - gissa turban

noddyholder · 14/05/2012 09:03

Our poundshop is full of them will get you one

BranchingOut · 14/05/2012 09:06

Can you get them online?

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 14/05/2012 09:34

I've got a couple of them, I agree they are brilliant, as well as making the hair nice and bouncy they are just great for getting it our of the way while you get dried and dressed in the morning or after swimming. I henna my hair and use one of these over a shower cap while it is developing too, they are truly a great invention. Can't remember where I got them, pound shop or Wilkos or somewhere but I did see some by the till in Homebase the other day, with all the little cheap odds and ends.

MrsSeanBean · 14/05/2012 09:39

I think our local £1 shop is a Poundland - when I go into town I'll check on packet if there's a web address and report back later.

I got a couple off Amazon, but they weren't particularly cheap.

You need to get the microfibre ones through, not ordinary towelling.

ihatethecold · 14/05/2012 18:21

Morrisons have them sometimes. Ussually with the bathroom accesories. Might be slightly more than a £ though

mamasmissionimpossible · 14/05/2012 18:25

They had loads in the 99p store. Have to agree they are good.

Pinot · 14/05/2012 19:53

I got mine a few years ago in a soap and glory set. It's saggy as fuck now but still ace.

they sell em in the poundshop do they? Shock

ConstanceChatterley · 14/05/2012 21:17

They are good but really don't last if washed regularly. Primark are doing them now and they are thicker plus have elastic round the edge which helps them to stay on better. About £1.50 or £2 I think and lots of colours.

MrsSeanBean · 17/05/2012 00:47

The poundshop version is labelled 'Allura'. No website on the packaging, but there were loads in my local store. A choice of white or black.

In my local one they're situated next to the DIY vajazzle Grin

I would agree that the primark ones are best, roomer if you've got a big head and loads of hair like me.

fluffiphlox · 17/05/2012 15:09

Ive got two of these from M&S - I keep one at home and one in my sponge bag. I put my hair in it while I'm doing my make up (if and when). They are areal timesaver.

HipHopOpotomus · 17/05/2012 15:12

I keep meaning to get one of these for post swimming but have been wondering if they are any good! So now I know. Saves carrying an extra towel for my hair. Going by Pound SHop tomorrow so I'll get one (fingers crossed)

Lilymaid · 17/05/2012 15:17

I've also got two from M&S - very good but cost £5 rather than £1 each.
