I think I found my holy grail microfiber towel. It's called Acteon, and it's so amazing. It's long enough for my classic length hair, and when i put it over my shoulders, it goes down to the floor (64 inches long, over five feet), but it's so thin and compressible that I can easily wrap my entire length, then just wrap it around my head and tuck it sort of like a turban. My hairs don't stick out like with an aquis towel, though I've seen they now make 52 inch towels for like 35 dollars now.

This is the cheapest I've found: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JQSEAWU/ref=twister_B01JRYXBNM?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

And they also have a website: https://www.getacteon.com/collections/beach-towels

Does anyone else have a favorite towel hair dry towel? What brand? I'm curious and investigating--right now I just borrow my boyfriend's Acteon towel, but I'm about to purchase one myself unless anyone else has something they love more that I should try. (or I may just buy this and stuff people recommend/love...)

To illustrate the compactness of the towel despite its massive size:

It's really light on my head too

Yep, that's the kind of beach towel I have too! With an elastic so when you roll them they compact. Mine came from Aldi.

I folded them in half lengthwise, and my mom sewed one end on each one shut, so I now have giant turbies (hold them on my head with a claw at the back of my neck).

It is amazing, and they are a smooth texture (mine are).

I can't really give you a brand, because, well, it's Aldi, on promo, and that comes and goes, and besides I'm in Belgium, so fat a lot of good that does for the most of you. :lol:

Is it totally smooth?

The one I'm using is. It doesn't snag like some of my other microfiber hair towels can.

Yes mine are totally smooth too. That's why I recommended the sports bathtowel section in a few threads before (it's where mine is from).

Too bad, I don't really like them all the way smooth, but that'd be a great size.

I was in on a group order years and years back. I've long forgotten the brand, but they were meant for dogs back then. Anyways, they've still got some texture to them which is how I prefer it. Of course I managed to leave one behind on a trip... I was hoping I'd find it when I returned the year after, but it seems someone else found it useful ;)
