How Long Does it Take to Style your Hair?

My hair is fine, but I have a lot of it so it's dense and it's curly. I've always wondered how long it takes people to style their hair whether they straighten their hair or curl it. I'm jealous of all you girls that need a quick blow dry and you're out the door with pretty much no effort at all!

When I straighten my hair from the time I dry it with a blow dryer and straighten it with a flat iron it takes me forty-five minutes to finish. It used to take an hour and fifteen minutes! I've gotten better tools since then and have cut my styling time. Most of the time I leave my hair natural which starts out straight at the top and gets curly as it goes down. When I leave my hair natural it takes me ten to fifteen minutes. All I do is add leave-in conditioner and gel into wet hair and let it air dry. Although this is better for your hair and leaves you with more time, having my hair naturally curly doesn't look as styled as if I use a curling iron or hot rollers to set the curls exactly where I want them to be. It may come as a surprise, but curling my curly hair takes the longest. I have to blow dry my hair, then flatten out the frizz with a straightening iron, and then use hot rollers (I prefer them more than a curling iron). I would say it takes me a good hour and a half to do this.
