As a lifelong product junkie, I’m the kind of girl who is more likely to swoon over a new hair serum than a hair towel. It’s rare that a tool or gadget wows me enough to write about it, but for me and the Aquis Microfiber Hair Towel, it was love at first try. Or dry, as the case may be.

This microfiber hair towel is a morning routine game-changer.

Now, I’m currently on a shopping diet, so when my sister told me she had bought me a hair towel as a surprise gift, I was thrilled, but skeptical. I’ve never really thought a special towel could make much difference in my routine, but I was excited to give it a try.

The towel is small, thin and very lightweight – if, like me, you routinely wrap your towel turban-style around your head after your shower, you will feel like the weight of the world (or at least a drenched towel) has been lifted from your shoulders after switching to Aquis.

Other than the change in towel size, shape and weight, I have not changed a thing about my hair routine. But the results of this towel switch have been fantastic! First, it really does cut down on dry time. It now takes me about 3 minutes to blow dry my long, ultra-thick hair. Second, my hair looks better! It now has more volume and a light, bouncy quality that I previously only achieved on my way out the salon door.

More convenience and prettier hair? I’ll take it!
