So a wonderful friend bought me a microfiber towel for long hair, and I've used it a couple times. I'm really liking it so far! I use a regular towel to squeez the excess water out, then wrap my length in the towel and wrap the towel around my head and leave for 30 minutes or so.

How do y'all use your microfiber towels?

My hair isn't very long just yet, but after I have washed my hair, I do the same as you, except my towel is made up like a turban, so I just wear it while I wash my face/put on makeup and then I take it off.
When I am doing a treatment, I put on a showercap over the hair, then put on the microfibre turban over the top - it keeps my head warm as well as catches the drips.

Mine isnt really the turban type so I just use a scrunchi to make it one. I shower in the morning so I just leave it up in that while I get ready.

I twist my hair up and settle the turbie backwards based on some tips I read here. I leave that until my hair is only a bit damp and comb out, or put oil, depending if I need it.

Mine is a long rectangle, like a regular towel. I fold it over about 4", lengthwise, then another 2" , forming a cuff. Once I get it wrapped around my head, I tuck the end into that 'cuff', then spiral the rest down the length, tucking that in as well. No pulling on the underneath hairs this way to get it tucked in.

I always spritz my ends after un-toweling, because they have already begun to dry.

I use my big rinse ace towel to "scrunch" my length (so as not to lose the curl as much) after washing to get a bit of the drips out before adding product. I also use it to put over my plastic cap when doing a DT to catch the drips. Sometimes I use it after I have put all my products in to scrunch it a bit and blot my scalp very gently to help it dry faster.

I use a microfiber towel to stop the dripping, after that I use a turban microfiber towel for 15 minutes or so.

I have the rectangular one, and have had it... gosh, for 14 years now! I lay it over my pillow after washing my hair for the night - it dries my hair by morning, and keeps my pillow dry! It's also great to have with on vacations. DD likes to "steal" it from me & wrap it turban-style around her head. I'm thinking that she may need her own. ;)
love,
mom

I have a large one...after washing, I lay it over my head and wrap the length in it, then do a turban sort of thing and clip it up for 15-30 minutes...that gets it drip free. I have another that lives in the gutter at the top of my bed and I put my wet hair there when I go to sleep (when not used that way, pillows live in the gutter).

Mine is about the size of a hand towel, so I do my best to get the water out of my hair first, then wrap as much of my hair as I can in it turbie style. I only leave it on for about 5 - 10 minutes, as anything after that is overkill. After a certain point, my hair just dries better with the air than inside a dampened piece of material.
