My preferences:
1) OK
2) "Dry off" is a separable phrasal verb. So, I would go with "dry yourself off".
3) "How's....."
4) "Please dry your hair".

In Br English it's quite (more?) common to talk about 'getting dry'; it's also possible to use 'towel' as a verb, but to my ear 'towelling themselves down' is what tennis players do between points.
