I'm having trouble finding a microfiber Turbie Twist.

(The cotton ones are easy to find, but I much prefer the microfiber)


Has anyone seen them lately? Remember where you were at the time? :)

It's so hot I just can't bring myself to hunt for one without some idea where to start looking, LOL!

Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure where you're located, but here in the US, knock-off microfiber turbie twists are sold at Dollar Tree ($1!).

I got one of the knock-offs from Dollar Tree. Love it! And will go get more in other colors. Oh, and they have packages of 15 clear plastic shower caps. Great for henna-ing or deep conditioning.

I too just pick one up this week at Dollar Tree!!!
... and I already tested it out. It works pretty good.

Well, so far, the knockoffs I've seen have all been too small for my hair, and since I've got fine/thin hair, that's pretty small.

I'll take a look at the Dollar Tree one, though. Love an excuse to browse there. :)

They have them @ Bed bath and beyond. You can look @ their website. I bought mine from there! :-)

Perfect! I was headed out there anyhow, in the not too distant future. Thanks for the heads up.


ETA: Looking on their website, all I see is the cotton ones, I was hoping for microfiber. I'll take a look anyhow.

ETA2: Looking more closely, I see they do have a microfiber turban, that's a different brand. Looks better than the cheapies I've seen elsewhere. Cool.

I've ditched my microfiber for a cheap, large towel. Because it's 100% cotton and not heavy, it soaks up the water in 20 minutes so I can airdry.

I went over to BB&B today and they did have the actual Turbie Twist in the microfiber. A two pack for ten dollars or so. Perfect!

They were way high up on the wall in the Personal Care area, so I had to get a store employee up on a ladder to retrieve one for me.

The other turban brand wasn't in store. Wish their website would list things more accurately.
