How Long Does It Take You To Style Your Hair...

for the day? Since I'm wearing braidouts right now, I timed myself today and it took me about 15 minutes to undo my braids, moisturize, curl my bangs with Caruso rollers. I could probably do it in 10 minutes but I wasn't rushing. It takes me a little longer if its the morning after airdrying my hair overnight, since it's still just a little bit damp, plus I braid my hair on hair already airdried (slight dampness is ok). I leave my braids in for 1 - 2 hours that first day also.
So how long does it take you to style your hair for the day?

About 3 minutes in the morning. I sleep with 5 rollers wrapped in satin scarf. I undo the 5 rollers, finger comb, shake and go. I wear straight back with a hairband to keep off face.

Two mins. I unwrap it and put it in a loose, very cute bun in the back.

You're not alone Isis, on CO wash days it takes me about 30-45 minutes to do my hair, start to finish. And all i do is put it in a bun

I take my hair out of the braid I sleep with. I then moisturize my hair in three or four sections. I then brush back and put it in a bun. I would say it takes me 5 minutes.

No more than 5 minutes. I wear my hair down the majority of the time, so I simply either unwrap it or remove the bobby pins from my pin curls, spray w/ oil sheen lightly comb it into place or shake it into place and that's it.

It takes me an incessant amount of time to style my hair and then when I am finally done, it falls as soon as I leave the room! Thats why I tend to just put my hair in a pony tale or wear some kind of extensions....lol

Now I do have that French Twist down and I can create one very, very quickly (as I mentioned on a different thread).
I've learned do that style without looking in a mirror, and have it look good.

I think if I knew what to do w/my hair it might be faster. I'm in that in between length stage w/the braid outs. Not long enough for me to wear down (plus it's shapeless, style-less), not short enough to look neat. I usually try two styles I don't like or that don't work. Then I revert to the "french roll in & up", hair pins, clip and working w/the loose hair on top. It takes about 7-10 mins. w/moisturizing before I give in and leave!

I must say your regimen sure is working very well for you, your hair is the bomb!

It takes me thirty minutes to style my hair in bantu knots on wash day, which is usually on a Saturday. It only takes me two seconds through the week. I just get up, take my scarf off and mist my hair with either a leav-in or plain water.

<font color="blue">I thought about doing that, but I'm afraid of my hair breaking
Instead, it takes me about 5 minutes to do my bun every morning. </font>

No more than 3 minutes. I sleep in two braids, so when I wake up, I simply undo the braids and run my fingers through my hair with some moisturizer--usually Wave Nouveau Finishing Lotion but, lately, I've used the Profectiv Health Ends on the ends and some of my brand spanking new Neutrogena Triple Moisture Leave-In. It smells sooooooo good (or did I mention that in another post?).

Right now 2 or 3 minutes.
Wednesday I condition washed with GPB and Humecto and did a roller set. The Kera Care Essential Oils and Leave-In made my hair super soft and moisturized. All I do is add a little more of the Essential oils to my new growth and ends, put my hair in a ponytail and go. I can't believe how well the GPB, Humecto, and Jilbere Shower comb worked to detangle my hair 11 weeks post-relaxer.

2 dang long......never timed it, but just the pony tail is becoming a job these days, arms hurt and errythang..
first put the stuff (whatever im using) all through it...one or two products
then the k cutter
then the reg comb
then the brush
then getting it into the pony tail
then combing through the pony tail again
then adding the srunchies, or twirling it up into the bun.....then brushing/smoothing back the edges, then cleaing up the aftermath

just too dang long at times

If I'm undoing my braids from the night before, it probably takes me about 15 minutes. Otherwise, 10 minutes. I have to undo the braids, sometimes separate them, apply my leave-ins, comb hair back, smooth hair, put in ponytail, put on scarf. Get ready for work and before I leave, take off scarf and apply a product for shine.

A few minutes..I smooth my edges back before I go out and put it in a puff. I do the scarf thing too to get it extra smooth. If I'm in braids it takes me no time, that what I love about them. But if the braids are getting frizzy I smooth down my baby hairs with aloe gel...it looks so much better, takes about a minute.
