DIY Hair Turban with a Sponge Hair Towel

Quick Answer

Use a soft sponge hair towel to create a DIY turban that gently absorbs moisture, reduces frizz, and speeds up drying time without pulling or tangling your hair.

How to Wrap a Sponge Hair Turban

1. Step 1: Start with Damp, Detangled Hair: After washing, gently squeeze excess water from your hair using your hands. Do not rub. Apply any leave-in products you normally use. Detangle with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers. Rubbing causes frizz; blotting is better.
2. Step 2: Place the Sponge Towel Behind Your Head: Hold the sponge hair towel horizontally. Lean forward and drape the center of the towel at the nape of your neck, letting the ends hang forward over your hair. Make sure the towel covers all your hair, not just the top.
3. Step 3: Twist the Towel Sections: Cross the two ends of the towel at the back of your head. Twist them together tightly enough to secure the hair, but not so tight that it pulls at your scalp. A loose twist will unravel; a too-tight twist can cause tension headaches.
4. Step 4: Fold the Twisted Ends Up and Over: Bring the twisted ends up and over the top of your head. Tuck the ends under the base of the twist at your forehead or crown, creating a secure turban shape. If the turban feels loose, twist the ends one more time before tucking.
5. Step 5: Let It Sit for 10-20 Minutes: Leave the turban in place while you finish your routine. The sponge material will absorb moisture without drying out your hair completely. Remove gently by untwisting, not pulling. Do not leave it on for more than 30 minutes, as damp hair left too long can become musty.
