When I was travelling recently, I really didn't want to take my beach towel for my hair turban, a) because of the weight and b)it would take along time to dry so hard to pack as we moved from motel to motel.
In doing a search for something else here I read someone refer to such cloths, but didn't realize you can buy them.
I stumbled across them at Bed, Bath, and Beyond (http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=17913557). They had 3 varieties and I liked this one because with their crinkly texture, I figured they'd be better for absorbency.
I love them! It's taken some getting used to, since I need two: one I wrap around the length, then the second one goes on top of my head like a regular towel and incorporates the length as I twist it into a turban.
I found that not only is my hair wavier after drying, but there's alot less lint in the drain after a shower. And the WEIGHT -- it's nothing! They are very thin, but amazingly effective.
If I'm in a pinch I'm squeeze-drying my hair with a regular towel for a moment (gets more water out fast), but in all, I've really happy to have discovered these.
The texture is so nice, I think they'd be much better than standard (non-terry) dish towels, too.
