The Soap and Glory hair turban thingy

7 replies

Elfontheedge · 19/04/2015 19:11

has anyone used it? I have long hair that takes an age to dry. It usually gets wrapped up in one of a variety of small towels that then fall off/are too bulky/don't really help. The turban seems a good solution but does it work?

I got one I a gift set a few years ago. I've used it a few times but found it gets soaked very quickly and the texture of it made my curly hair frizz. It's also quite small for my long hair. I think it's ok as an alternative to wrapping hair up with a towel but if it's expensive I wouldn't bother. (Not sure how much they cost) There is a similar product in poundland (microfibre hair wrap) that would do the same thing and might be worth trying first so you don't waste too much money.

Ive also got long hair and have tried various turbans - none could cope with my hair.

This is what I use now. It is thin but stays up in a wrap just long enough but takes a lot of moisture out of my hair.

I probably bought it after a recommendation on here, as is usually the way!

Aquis turbans are the way forward... Bought mine from tkmaxx for £3.99 and it's one of my best buys.
Just tie your hair in and 10 mins later just a rough dry with a hair dryer and style/straighten as required..

Ideally keep your hair wrapped in it as long as possible. Surprisingly my hair is never knotty when I take it off. A must beauty buy x

I have the soap and glory one it is thin and gets soaking quickly. Not worth it IMO.

You can get microfibre turbie towels in the pound shop can't you? At that price you could use two. I think they're great, I have really thick hair, they don't totally dry it but it's a good start.

Aquis is good, but when mine got a bit old & stopped working so well, I got the slightly bulkier one from M&S. It works really well even on long thick hair.

Soap & glory turban is ok - better quality material & more of it than the pound shop cheapie ones. But the best ones I have found are from Primark, thick microfibre fabric that soaks up water and large enough for long hair too.
