The lovely Shawna contacted me recently about the Aquis Hair Towel. * Shawna has so much enthusiasm for the brand & this product, as well as being a genuinely lovely lady! She explained how the vulnerable hair can be when it’s wet & how drying can cause additional damage. Shawna thought I would benefit from the Waffle Luxe Hair Towel & she was right! Keep reading my Aquis Hair Towel review to find out how it can help you too.

With my EDS, I have problems holding styling tools. As a result, I haven’t used a hairdryer or hair straighteners for many, many years. Instead, I let my hair dry naturally. This is fine in the summer, but I do wonder whether this is such a good idea in the winter.
The first thing I noticed was how light this towl felt on my head. I hand’t realised how heavy my normal towel was! This is going to be an ideal option for people with back & neck difficulties for this reason alone! The Hair Towel is larger than what I had previously been using, helping to wrap my long hair up with ease – something I had difficulty with before. It also stays put better than my standard towel.
Before using the Aquis hair towel, my hair was frizzy & the curls weren’t defined. I had put this down to the length of my hair weighing the curls down. I was surprised to find that, after using the hair towel for a few days, my curls became more defined in addition to a reduction on frizz! I can’t say for certain that the hair towel has prevented or reduced damage like it claims, because I don’t have a microscope to put my hair under to compare a before & after. What I can say is that my hair seems to dry quicker after it’s been washed & towel dried, as well as being in better condition.
A I dye my hair, I usually use a black towel to dry my hair. With the Aquis Hair Towel being white, I noticed that dye transferred onto the towel during use. I was impressed that when I washed the towel the dye came out & it looked like new!
The Aquis Waffle Luxe Hair Towel can be purchased from aquis.com for $35 (approx. £20.48, depending on conversion rates).

This is so interesting – I’ve been air drying my hair for months now but it takes so long, even though my locks aren’t that long! This looks like a useful alternative – thank you for sharing! x

You’re welcome Lucy! Since writing this post, I’ve been told by a friend that she buys hers from Amazon or TKMaxx, so you might be able to get hold of one easier from one of these two places. I definitely recommend checking them out, especially coming into winter when it will take even longer for your hair to air dry. Xx

This sounds good for curly hair. I avoid towels completely due to them causing frizz. Instead I wrap my hair up in a cotton t-shirt, which helps define the curls. I think the technique’s called plopping which always makes me laugh.
It really is Donna! I haven’t tried a cotton t-shits, but have seen people recommending them. That really is a strange name for the technique! My hair seems to be loosing it’s curl since stopping my Sodium Valproate, so for me it’s less about defining the curl & more about minimising frizz, which I’ve always had a problem with! Xx
