Do they exist? Where can I find them? I love my micro fiber turban towels but now that my hair is longer the ends wet hang out of the bottom or I have to fold my hair.

Hopefully they do exist! Though I have no idea where to find such a thing, but if you can't find anything, maybe you could sew one yourself? Or rope in someone with sewing experience if that's not your jam.. just a last resort :)

Many years ago on the Old Forum, we had a group purchase of microfiber doggy bathing towels. They were quite large and I still have mine. One could sew a turban towel. Maybe look at pet towels....

I bought 2 sports towels, microfiber, bath towel length. My mom folded them both in half lengthwise, and then sewed one side shut on each. This way, I now have 2 big turbie towels out of microfiber. And they are sports towels, so very smooth!

Love them!

ETA:

It's very easy to do, and requires barely any effort. It sews shut very easily. I had my mom do it because due to illness I have shaky hands (I could poke myself). I even had a thread on this, I think. I'm gonna look for it. Here it is:

Nah, that wasn't it....

If you can't sew, I think someone on here just used an elastic band to "band" one side shut. But of course, nothing beats the sewed version. I have 2 and I love them to bits. They have been through the washer about 5 times each now and they are still brand new and absorb very well. And you only like have to sew about 6-8 inches, not much at all.

I have seen larger ones sold in auto parts stores near the car washing accessories.

I haven't tried it personally, but I'm considering it. It does have good reviews.
