The 11 Best Hair Towels for Frizz-Free Tresses, According to Editors and Experts

In the vast world of hair towels, the AQUIS hair towel reigns supreme. Created to wick water away and speed up dry time, the AQUIS Hair Turban stays in place and helps to deliver smoother and sleeker strands — all without that dreaded damp back-of-the-shirt feeling.

This editor-approved hair towel is ideal for all hair textures, including curly, fine, and delicate strands prone to breakage. “With the Aquis turban, I hop out of the shower, throw my hair into the turban, secure the end to the button at the nape of my neck, and carry on! It stays put,” says our executive director, Christine Anderson.

She’s not the only fan of AQUIS — beyond earning hundreds of positive Amazon reviews, our experts consider this hair towel a cut above the rest.

Taylor loves that it successfully reduces frizz and increases shine, while Perkins owns a few AQUIS towels (including the grey Madison Reed version) and appreciates that it’s incredibly lightweight. “I do my preliminary dry with one, then wrap it with the second one to let it dry while I do my skin and makeup routine,” she says.
