The Fabric:
* Microfibre "Terry" -- the softest and fluffiest of the three versions Aquis offers (Lisse Crepe, Waffle, "Terry")
* Texture: very short pile, no visible loops. Soft and fluffy.
* Slightly clingy, when drying yourself.
* Static in the dryer (Attracts lots of lint)
* Very absorbent and lightweight.
* Dries fast
* Comes in many colours and sizes (also available in a wrap version and a robe version).

Unlike other membrane/spongy camping/outdoor towels:
* You CAN throw this is in the dryer.
* Feels closest to a real towel.
* Will not stiffen-up when dry.

Sizes and uses:
*Size XL is standard bath towel sized and is good as a hair towel for those with long, thick hair.

*Size L [shown here] was the original hair/gym towel size -- longer and narrower. Good for average amount of hair and mid-length & shorter. Good as a bath towel for a small child.

*Size M is good as a Hand Towel for when you have people over. It gets damp but not soggy and will still do its job of drying hands.

*Size S is washcloth sized.

Aquis' microfibre terry towels tend to attract lint and although the towel itself is in good condition after several years and many many uses, it starts to look worn and "dirty" because of various bits of lint that embeds itself into the weave of the fabric (especially if you have fine-haired dogs like Poodles and Goldens). The light colours do not hide stains well. The original Lisse Crepe and the Waffle Weave do not attract as much lint or fine hair and therefore do not look as worn as the terry weave.

Overall an excellent towel despite the drawbacks, and is the softest fluffiest microfibre super-absorbent towel on the market. The entire Diva Collection is made from Aquis' "Terry" weave.

I was hoping that this towel would reduce the amount of time required to air dry my hair. I don't use a blow dryer and I hate going out in the winter with wet hair. I was disappointed to find that this towel did not really seem to soak up water any more quickly than a regular bath towel. I'll keep it and continue to use it to wrap my hair in, but it was not the miracle solution I was hoping for.

This is one great little towel -- coming out of the shower, I tie it around my hair turban style and then leave it there while I put on makeup, get dressed, etc. When I take it off, my hair is dry enough to put my curl gel on and let it finish drying. It is definitely not big and bulky but does a great job soaking up water.

So much better than a bulky towel...love it! I took one star off because I think it could use two more inches in width...I have a short bob and the 19" barely covers it. I wouldn't recommend it to friends with longer hair....especially past shoulder length.

I've tried different ones, but this is so much better, and nicer looking if you end up having to leave it on your head (as a turban) than trying to use the wraps that have you twist your hair up with the towel and use a loop and button. My friends and I have "one of those" and all of our heads are too big, I guess!".. or they make them for very small heads!! This one is perfect! Please come out with a VARIETY OF COLORS! Want to buy more!!!

This and the Aquis hair turban are the first microfiber towels I've tried. I'm very impressed! This 19 x 39 inch towel is way way way more than enough for toweling off after a shower. Plus it dries out very quickly hanging it over the towel bar. True, it's not a towel you can really wrap yourself up in, but it sure will save on space in the washer and dryer! I will definitely be buying more Aquis towels.

This is a great towel for all you curly girls! I used to use just a T shirt to dry my hair, but so glad I switched over to this towel. It absorbs sooooo much water! And it does NOT frizz my hair! I love the pink color! I wish they made one big enough for the body. This is a great buy!

Purchased this micro-fiber towel based on a recommendation from a Yahoo group that I belong to. I have baby locks and needed a towel that is not only absorbent, but wouldn't leave lint in my locks. I've found the towel!!! I simply wrap this towel around my wet locks...and within 15 - 20 minutes all water is absorbed. I love the towel...and the best thing about (it's PINK)!!!

I love this towel! I have very thick, curly hair and a super-absorbent towel is extremely useful. As another reviewer said, the lighter coloured towels tend to collect lint and start to look really dirty after a while. I also recommend not washing or drying the towel with any fabric softener as it seems to lose its absorbency, and the dryer sheets just stick to the towel!

Overall it's an excellent product and would recommend it to anyone who prefers not to dry their hair using heat.

This is soft and big enough. I didn't know what to expect, but when I really try to get the water from my hair it works well. It takes less time to dry. My hair is short, but I think it would work much better for long hair because you can wring it dry.
