    I was just curious as to know how long does it take for you to do your hair in the morning? I take quite long (it took me 45 minutes once!) and hope I'm not the only one...
     
  2. Drying it only takes about five minutes, but my mom usually straightens it because she thinks it looks bad lol. I don't spend a whole lot of time on my appearance, honestly.

    I just braid my hair before I go to sleep and then I take it out in the morning, which takes about a minute. If I want to straighten or curl my hair, it takes about 15-20 minutes.

    6 minutes (11 if we count washing, shampooing + conditionering). What takes 45 minutes if you don't mind me asking?

    Takes me about 10 minutes from washing to finishing. No wonder it always looks messy!

    Hm... Maybe around 10 minutes more or less.
    If you count The Washing and drying as well i'd say it takes 17 minutes.

    That one day my hair just wouldn't do what I wanted it to do and I got SO FRUSTRATED that I kept messing it up and re-doing it. It was just a million times worse than a bad hair day -_-

    About 5 minutes, I guess. Excluding shampooing and conditioning. It looks like hell, but I just go through a 5 minute period of denial of trying to style it, then giving up. : P

    It kind of depends for me, It varies day to day.
    Sometimes it can take 10 mins and others it can take 20 mins and then constantly fixing it throughout the day.

    I don't even have enough hair to do anything with. It doesn't take me any time at all.

    I wash it every 2 days (5 minutes of shampooing) and I usually dry it with a towel and rapidly shape it with a comb (2 minutes) so that's 4.5 minutes (call it 5 minutes) average. I have short hair btw.

    It depends on how I feel like doing my hair that day. Anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes.

    And if I take a shower right before that, just forget about it. It may take 10 minutes to shower, but it take 45 minutes to blow dry, another hour or so to straighten it so it cooperates (and even that is hit or miss, depending on how much of a jerk it's going to be that day,and then 5-30 minutes to actually fix it...

    About 15 minutes to dry and kinda style. I give it up about halfway through. My hair is really thick. With washing it, it takes about 7 minutes.

    I don't do much to my hair, but it is long and fine, so it takes a while to dry (I don't blow dry it).

    I wash it every other day, and condition it every day...so there's that. When I get out of the shower, I towel-dry it, comb it out, put in either a bit of mousse (once a week) or anti-frizz cream, re-comb it, and then let it dry on its own through the morning. That's the long part...usually well over an hour to dry completely, but at least I can be doing other things in that time. Then right before I leave the house, I comb it out once more and it generally bounces into shape.

    In all, I'd say I *spend* about 15-20 minutes tops working with it (washing/conditioning/applying stuff/combing).
