Bambus Turban Handtuch mit Knopf | Grau

The Bamboo Turban Towel by Curly'N'Covered was specially developed for curls, waves, and Afro-textured hair. Its smooth, soft surface absorbs excess water without unnecessarily roughening the hair or removing too much moisture while it dries.

This is especially important for curly hair: Vigorous rubbing with classic terry cloth can loosen individual hairs from curl clumps, promote frizz, and mechanically stress wet hair. The bamboo hair turban enables significantly gentler drying and therefore helps reduce frizz, breakage, and split ends.

• Product type: pre-shaped turban towel for gentle drying

The major advantage over a classic hair towel is its pre-shaped turban design: The hair can be wrapped in just a few simple steps, and the turban is secured with the loop around the coconut button. It stays securely in place without the towel needing constant adjustment.

The turban is also very well suited for plopping. The curls rest compactly on the head and are less likely to be pulled down by their own weight while drying. This helps preserve their natural clumping - for more definition, volume, and bounce.

The comparatively lightweight fabric is deliberately chosen. The turban absorbs excess water but is not intended to dry the hair completely as quickly as possible. This leaves some residual moisture, which is especially important for curls to remain soft, elastic, and defined.

The bamboo hair turban is therefore also ideal for a Curly Girl routine, in which the natural curl structure is treated as gently as possible and unnecessary friction is avoided.

How to use

After washing, work leave-in conditioner, curl cream, or styling product into the wet hair as usual.

Place the hair turban over the hair with the wide side and loosely gather the curls inside it. Then carefully twist the tapered end. Make sure not to twist the curls themselves and not to wrap the turban too loosely or too tightly.

Bring the twisted end toward the back of the head and fasten the loop to the coconut button. This keeps the turban securely in place without requiring constant adjustment.

Leave it on to dry for about 15–30 minutes, then remove it. Afterward, dry the hair completely in the air or with a diffuser.

Material & care

Material: 68% viscose (derived from bamboo), 28% cotton, 4% elastane

• Washing: machine wash at 30 °C
• Drying: air-dry, not suitable for tumble drying - bamboo viscose is sensitive to heat and may shrink in the dryer
• Bleaching: do not bleach
• Ironing: iron at a moderate temperature without hot steam

The soft bamboo-viscose fabric has been tested for substances relevant to health and is suitable for direct skin contact. Curly'N'Covered sources its fabrics - with the exception of silk - mostly within the EU. From design to production, the hair turban is made in Germany.

The testing applies to the fabric used, not to the finished hair turban. Therefore, the finished product itself does not carry a corresponding consumer-protection seal.

Since each hair turban is handmade, its size may vary slightly.

FAQ

What is a turban towel?

A turban towel is a specially shaped hair towel that can be easily wrapped around and secured to the hair after washing. The Curly'N'Covered hair turban has a wide side for the hair and a tapered end that is twisted and secured with a loop around the coconut button.

What is the advantage of the coconut button?

Together with the loop, the coconut button ensures that the turban stays securely on the head. This means it does not need to be knotted or repeatedly tightened - especially practical when classic towels tend to slip during wrapping.

What are the benefits of the hair turban for curls?

The smooth surface reduces friction while drying and therefore helps prevent frizz and unnecessary mechanical stress. At the same time, the curls remain compact on the head and are less likely to be pulled down by their own weight. This can support definition, volume, and natural bounce.

Can you plop with the hair turban?

Yes. The turban is very well suited for plopping. Wet or already styled curls are placed compactly in the turban and secured on the head. This allows them to dry without being rubbed dry or unnecessarily stretched.

How long should you wear the hair turban?

For many curl types, about 15–30 minutes is a good starting point. The goal is to absorb excess water, not to dry the hair completely in the turban. Depending on hair density, length, and curl structure, the ideal duration may vary somewhat.

Can you sleep overnight with the hair turban?

No, the hair turban is not intended for this. The hair and scalp would remain damp for many hours. In addition, wet hair is more susceptible to mechanical stress. Hair should be completely dry before sleeping.

Is the bamboo hair turban suitable for the Curly Girl Method?

Yes. Among other things, the Curly Girl Method aims to avoid unnecessary friction while drying and disturb the natural curl structure as little as possible. The smooth bamboo viscose and the option of gentle plopping fit this type of curl care very well.

Why is bamboo viscose better suited than classic terry cloth?

Classic terry cloth has a coarser surface structure. Rubbing can create more friction, which may loosen individual hairs from curl clumps and promote frizz. The smooth surface of the Curly'N'Covered turban enables much gentler drying.

Why doesn't the turban absorb as much water as a classic terry towel?

That is part of the concept. The material absorbs excess water without removing all the hair's moisture as quickly as possible. Curls in particular benefit from some residual moisture so that they remain elastic, soft, and well clumped.

Does the turban also fit long or thick hair?

The hair turban is one size and adapts to different head shapes and hair lengths through its design and fastening. For very long or very thick hair, however, the larger bamboo hair towel may offer more space.

What is the difference between the Bamboo Hair Turban and Curly'N'Covered's regular Bamboo Hair Towel?

Both are made from the same soft bamboo-blend fabric and enable low-friction drying. The hair turban is already shaped to fit and can be secured especially easily with the loop and coconut button. The classic hair towel, on the other hand, offers more surface area and flexibility, for example for microplopping or very long and thick hair.
