I have tried:
• air drying (takes too long, extends wet hair misery)
• having short hair (can’t have short hair at one of my jobs)
• dryer bonnet (somewhat better cuz at least I can sorta multitask)
• sitting in front of box fan (takes too long)
• paying hairdresser to do it (expensive)
Figured I’d see if you guys know any tips and tricks…
Do you use fabric softener with your towels? Fabric softener conditions fibers with oils making them less absorbent. A good quality, plush cotton towel that has never seen fabric softener can be extremely absorbent, and if you do the two towel method someone else mentioned I bet that would really cut your drying time. If you used two good, absorbent towels in your hair, then blow dried, I bet it would only take a minute or so which is a lot easier to sit through.
can i interest you in some heavy metal? great way to dry hair while having fun.
that’s a good point. distract myself with some Necrogoblikon or something. having wet hair makes me feel goblin-y in an angry wet cat sorta way lol
i already listen to metal when I epilate my leg and armpit hair cuz that shit hurts and the metal helps me feel badass enough to deal with it :'D
Keep your hair short and air-dry. Get a wig for your job.
I either do these two things:
-
I usually go to the gym at middle of the day, and do not dry my hair. Just let it dry while walking to work
-
When I shower at home I fully dry my hair but use this time to read an article on the phone, or watch a video, listen to a podcast. In this way, drying my hair is not a nuisance
This is a job that I do for my gf as a act of affection. She sits on the edge of the bed or the couch and I blow dry and brush her hair. She also could not stand the boredom of this act. When I had long hair myself I never blow dried it. I guess that hippy look I was going for didn’t need a hair dryer.
