    Question Where do you put here hair while it dries?

    This might just be my stupidest question yet, but where do you put your hair when it's wet? I don't like to brush it out because it frizzes and I loose my wave and that makes me sad. so I usually end up with wet hair for 2 hours and it likes to get smashed between my back and whatever I'm sitting on. It isnt long enough to drape over anything, but it's just long enough to get my shoulder and back pretty wet. What do you do with your wet hair?

    For me anything that is out of the way really prevents it from drying. I'll drape a towel over my shoulders but often I will just wash my hair before I go to bed and then let it dry while I sleep..

    I just squeeze the excess water out gently with my hands and let it hang down my back. I finger comb to get it to dry faster.. I try not to worry about a wet spot.

    I towel dry, shake my head a few times while applying body lotion and doing other stuff, leave it down for like 15 more minutes and then it's actually ready for LOC and goes up in a bun. It takes a few Hours for it to dry this way and the bun stays damp inside for half a day but it does dry faster than i remember it did a couple of years ago when it was shorter, but my routine was all different then.

    I wrap my hair in a towel for a couple minutes until I'm dressed, then I let it out of the towel and pull it over my shoulders, split in half. Once it's mostly dry, I brush it and put in leave-in conditioner. My hair takes just over an hour to dry completely.

    I towel dry it, shake my head a few times and leave it hanging on my back for at least 4 hours until it's finally dry.

    It depends on what else needs to be done. I gently squeeze the water out and wrap it in a towel while I dress. Then it might be straight to a bun or braid, or left down my back to dry. It takes about an hour to dry completely. I might let it dry totally, or put it up damp. Really depends on if it is getting in the way of what needs to be done. Sometimes I'll sit on the porch so it will dry faster if there is something I can do like read while sitting.

    I sit up and don't lean on anything, I just have it hanging down my back or over my shoulder if I must lean on something

    Depends. If I wash before I sleep, then I put my hair into two braids and hope it's mostly dry by morning.
    If otherwise I just baby it while it air dries, trying to let it not get caught between my back and other things, etc. No matter what, my hair takes a looooooong time to dry. 4 hours when it is loose, and around 12 when it's in two braids. Not that bad I guess, but it's not that long yet, either.

    I wrap it in a towel while I get dressed, then shake it out with my head upside down. Then it gets hopefully damp bunned, but usually wet bunned. I'll try to take it out for a few minutes a couple times a day to help it dry, but it often ends up really drying inside my sleep cap overnight.
