Step 2: Lay Out T-shirt Or Microfiber Towel
Next, you need to lay a microfiber tower or a T-shirt (long-sleeved works wonders) out on a bathroom counter or a chair with the sleeves at the end nearest to you.
Step 3: Flip Head Forward
To bring all your hair on top of your head and in the center of the t-shirt or a towel, flip your head forward by bending at the waist.
Step 4: Tie T-shirt Long Sleeves Behind Your Head
Finally, flip up the flap of fabric or a t-shirt, which is behind your head, over your neck. Later on, knot the long sleeves of the shirt back of your head.
Wrap the extra length of the sleeves around to the front and tie the ends in a knot if you have used a long-sleeved shirt or have extra material. This technique will make your turban steady.

- Until your hair is dry
- For 10-20 minutes and then blow-dry your hair with a diffuser or let them air-dry.
- Overnight to wake up with dry hair.
