Turbie Twist Gives $8,000 to the Children's Institute of Pittsburgh


Turbie Twist, LLC has donated $8,000 to the Children's Institute of Pittsburgh to support their disability awareness programs in Western Pennsylvania.

"Turbie Twist is really excited about supporting the Children's Institute," said Christina Cummings, Turbie Twist, LLC President. "Outreach programs like the ones offered by Children's Institute increase children's awareness and understanding of their peers with disabilities."

The Children's Institute estimates that the donation by Turbie Twist will allow between 3600-3800 children in elementary and middle schools to experience the Kids on the Block program or Amazing Kids workshop awareness program.

The Kids on the block program for elementary school students is an informative show that features puppets with various disabilities that perform skits designed to increase awareness and understanding of children with disabilities.

The Amazing Kids workshop allows middle school students the opportunity to take part in a series of interactive activities to help them understand how challenging a disability can be. The students also meet several middle school students, via video, who describe a problem they faced at school because of their disability.

Turbie Twist Super-Absorbent Hair Towels will now absorb even more water.


Turbie Twist, LLC has improved the functionality of the original Turbie Twist® by using Microfiber technology.

"Microfiber is a wonder fabric – it can hold up to 7 times its weight in water, now the Turbie Twist® is even more effective at absorbing the water from your hair after bathing", said Christina Cummings, Turbie Twist, LLC President. "We’ve taken the product to the next level in terms of function, but still kept the fashion element which I love."
Microfiber is a fabric made of polyester and polyamide fibers that are spun and then split into micro-sized strings that can be 100 -200 times thinner than a strand of human hair. The manufacturing process produces hooks and loops that produce a material that is extremely soft, absorbent and durable. The hydrophilic (water loving) polyamide fibers absorb and distribute water throughout the towel. Combining this technology with the “Twisting” motion of wrapping the turban maximizes the absorbency factor.

In addition to the superior absorbency (over cotton) Microfiber is also built to last - according to Cleanaide.com “A cotton towels appearance and functionality will be visibly reduced after 20 washes or so, microfiber can sustain 300 to 500 washes with very limited effect on the product.”

The microfiber Turbans will come in both solid and patterned versions and are available at Bed Bath and Beyond, CVS, QVC and Walgreen’s (price: $4.99- $9.99).
