Hair is not living tissue. Adding coconut oil to hair will not “help it grow” any more than rubbing coconut oil on a suede shoe will make it grow back into a cow.
@OnionSoup Just like the Argan oil won’t repair split ends. It can’t glue the divided hairs back together again.
These look useful and I’m tempted to buy, but I think the company is over-selling a bit.
The alpha female of the household gradually ran out of her “products” since the beginning of the quarantine, and has never looked so radiant, so gorgeous and amazing. Best hair in a decade. Skin clean and clear. No ersatz fragrances to make my sinuses slam shut. But TELL her that, and one risks a death that lasts a thousand years, like being thrown in the sarlacc pit. (sigh)
Still, oily rags? Um, nah. Not even gonna tell her about it.
@jespensc,
Women dress for other women, not for men, and certainly not for their husbands. The only women that dress for men are hookers, or someone desparate to land a man.
If you hear a woman say that another woman looks trashy, chances are that you will find that ‘trashy’ woman attractive.
@mrdancer True dat. And in all seriousness, while I find women compelling (as humanity, as people, as bodies, in function and concept), I find the performance of femininity to be unutterably boring. Cosmetics, heels, stunt-clothing, f-u-jewelry, and all the other power expressions and tribal adornment of feminine-pecking-order status… Every bit the equivalent counterpart of toxic masculinity, it is the primary vehicle by which women tear each other down. Feh, it’s not my thing, it wasn’t ever a thing intended for me, and it’s not remotely interesting or exciting. (And ‘trashy’? Yargh. Jesus, girl, just put on some jeans and do some work with me. THAT’s compelling.)
It’s part of why I find drag lightly curious but mostly off-putting; On one hand it’s like an excellent execution of an unfamiliar and dissonant-to-me musical genre, but I can appreciate skill, precision, and achievement in things I’m not a part of. On the other hand, I don’t know what to do with men performing femininity in the extreme, effectively man-splaining battle-level trashy-and/or-power-femininity to women. What even is that?
@Citymars Thats what I was thinking. Laundry detergent removes oils from fabrics, so it would probably just be a regular microfiber hair turban thing after a single washing.
So, this is the second time you’ve sold these, maybe more but I don’t bother to Mehrathon. Sadly, I recently bought three non infused ones at the big A, I can’t justify buying more. But I’m not your real target, you want that uncontrollable consumer.
I bought two packs of the argan oil ones before, and have liked using them. They are a pretty decent size–usually I have trouble with these types of towels fitting my big head . My hair is actually longer than the towel nowadays (just about hitting the top of butt territory) but usually I’ll either just leave those last few inches out. I’m using this thing for convenience to keep the hair up and off my skin while letting it air dry.
I already on occasion use argan oil in my hair and did notice that using the towel left my hair feeling nice and softer than my usual no oil feel, but didn’t feel oily like when I do use liquid oil.
Make sure you aren’t twisting too hard as that traction will still break your wet hair and can still pull at your scalp to cause damage and subsequent hair loss
Did want to note they added some kind of fragrance to it that the first couple times I used it was just overpowering. Scent was pleasant but omg was it strong at first. Might suggest opening it and leaving it out for a few days as an air freshener before actually using it.

To me, it sounds like the turbans are made of hair.
Oily towels?
I got a garage full of 'em.
(I keep them all in a pile, over by the kerosene.)
@G1 Put 'em on your head and let us know how they work.

@chewbecca @OnionSoup so you’re saying glue should work? Thanks!
@chewbecca @flehm worth trying. Coat your head in super glue each night after washing your hair before laying down.
No hair on my head. No need for this.
this stuff makes really shitty margaritas.
@alacrity There’s such a thing as shitty margaritas?
@eeterrific use this stuff instead of tequila and let me know your tboughts.
@alacrity Maybe so but is it Mac compatible?
@Mehrocco_Mole yes- but the cables are proprietary and expensive.

Hey, what happened to the 12,000 tea bags I was gonna (not) order?
(Just being snarky, ignore me.)
I am really glad I got 2 for 8 during the MEHathion.
Buy these if you are feeling a little Sikh.
Swords not included – check back for tomorrow’s deal.
I got a couple of these before and I like them!
I assume they’re safe for color-treated hair, but just wanted to see if there was any concerns?
@FSSZilla I haven’t had any issues, I mean if your hair has just been colored then your towel may get strained but that’s normal and to be expected.
how do you make hair “healthy”? I thought hair was just strands of dead protein that grow out of your scalp.
@Dankk OK— now I just want to go and shave all that dead protein off of my person – ewwwwwww
The model in the photos is wearing it backwards, the twist goes in front and that’s how it stays on your head.
I haven’t had a haircut since March, but my hair still isn’t long enough for this. But I’m working on it.
@craigthom I’ve had one haircut since March. It’s growing back into a crazy mop.
The advantage is the little bald patch on the back of my head is getting covered up now.
The disadvantage is I’m beginning to look like a member of the beegees.
In case anyone else was wondering what these are made of, they’re microfiber. My curly hair approves. In for 2.
tl,dr. Can you launder oil-infused towels? Or are these disposable? I’m not buying regardless, but I’m curious.
@Citymars Thats what I was thinking. Laundry detergent removes oils from fabrics, so it would probably just be a regular microfiber hair turban thing after a single washing.

@alchyilee I came to ask about the smell, thanks.
Wouldn’t the oil wash out??
My hair is already infused with natural oils.
