Turbie twist hack for longer hair!

[lapushka]

I like flannel pillowcases.

I have t-shirts sewn shut at the bottom too, and that's another great idea.

I’ve done this a couple of times, it works well:

I actually sort of combine this with the method kittybird posted, just that I collect my hair from the front and twist it back, since I wash upside down 98% of the time.

I have this problem as well!! I was wondering if they make different length turbies? My ends have dangled out for about 6+ months now. What I do is while I am leaning over and putting the turbie on my head, I take the ends and just roll them, not tight. I wrap it around all my fingers to make a bit of a loop then I tuck it into the end of the turbie. It seems to work for me unless my hair is being naughty and wont stay rolled. I love the twisty turbie because it is so light and stay on while your hair dry's, but I wish we could get some with longer tails for the hair!

No they don't. There used to be someone on Etsy that did longer ones, but not anymore, to my knowledge.

But the bathtowel-hack is easy enough to do; if you want to read the first post.

My hair just got to the point where I needed to stop using my tshirts and I'm using some of my husbands old tshirts. Mens just seem to be cut longer. But I love the tip about sewing two tshirts together. I might do that with some old (read: too small) tshirts so the neck hole/head hole wont be quite so loose.

They have them back in my Aldi as of next week. Just wanting to let the Belgian girls & guys here know!

These are them (smooth canvas, no "loops" in the cloth).

And that's the "kind" you want. Mostly you find these in a sports towel section or fitness section of a store.

It says they are fast drying, and... kind of true!

ETA/ Unsure whether or not I could post the link? I don't want to spam stuff on here, but just wanting to help those looking for this type of towel, not being able to find it.

I have a long microfibre towel which I wrap around my hair as a tube, then if I need it out the way wrap the tube around my head like a coronet braid and tuck the end in. Microfibre is light enough to do that (whereas even jersey cotton wasn't).

The t-shirt "towels" are kind of nice on short hair, but long? They get so heavy!

I have a section of an old “T-shirt” bed sheet that I use like this. It is 30 inches wide and 55 inches long and weighs about the same as a T-shirt. Wrapped up like a coronet braid it is super comfy. I can also fold it in half and use it to “ploop” if going for wave definition.

When my hair way too long for my turtbie, I would fold my hair in half and tuck it through as I twisted it up. Now it's just the perfect length to fit it all inside, until a few more months again
