What type of hair do you naturally have???

My hair is naturally curly, and very dry. It's pretty thick. But, if I don't wash it every 3ish days, it looks SUPER greasy. There's no way I could go longer than that without washing it.

No matter how I wear it (blown out or natural), I wash mine at night. I start work at 6am, no WAY I'm getting up to do all that in the morning. Lol

Curly: Wash at night. Scrunch it up. Air dry. Before bed, I french braid it loosely. In the morning, I spritz it with water and rescrunch. If I happen to wash it in the morning (weekends sometimes), I just wash, scrunch, and air dry.

Blow dry: Definitely wash at night. That takes less than 10 minutes. I wrap it up in a tshirt to suck out the excess water. I usually wash my face and do some other stuff for maybe 10 minutes. Take it out, put product in. Then I blow dry my bangs entirely and do an overall quick blow dry to take around 50% of the moisture out. Takes less than 10 minutes. Then I usually watch a 30 min tv show with DH and give it time to air dry a bit. After that, I finish drying it (while brush straightening it), which takes less than 10 minutes as well. If you take out the TV show, the actual time spent on doing my hair is around 30 minutes, from washing to dried. Then I sleep, and in the morning flat iron it, which takes about 5 minutes. I normally only have to straighten the ends, which get crazy from sleeping on them.

You should be retwisting or rebraiding your hair into big loose twists or braids every evening before bed. That's how you get your curly look to last for the week!

My hair is naturally wavy but in a weird way. If it's longish it goes into beachy waves if I'm lucky but not always. I also feel gross if I don't wash it every day. In the summer if I'm lazy I'll sometimes skip blow drying, but I run the risk that I'll hate my hair all day. I usually only flatiron it if I'm going to work or out somewhere. That being said going from pyjamas to ready to go usually takes me about 45 minutes so doing it every day isn't a huge hassle.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: My hair looks greasy on day 3, so I can't get away without washing it, but if I was able to get away with it, it is still fairly straight on day 3 and just needs minor touch-ups.

My hair is super fine and super straight. It can't hold a curl and it doesn't really tangle. It looks greasy very easily though. So I wash every day, let it air dry, then pull it up. Takes no extra time at all. I don't bother using a hair dryer unless I have to go out in the cold and it's still wet.

LO's hair is like mine but she doesn't get greasy as fast so she can go 3 days or so without washing it.

I almost never blow dry my hair (too lazy- it looks better when I do!). But my hair is fine and mostly straight so when I do blow dry it it takes less than ten minutes. Washing is very fast, again since it's so fine. I usually wash t every other day but end up with it in a ponytail almost every day anyway. I stay at home now, but even pre kids when I worked this was pretty much my norm.

I have super short hair. If I don't wash and dry it daily (each morning), I would scare small children and adults as well. It gets greasy, sticks up in weird places. I also use product in it daily, so that would start to build up. Its just part of my routine, and honestly, even if I didn't have to wash my hair daily, I probably would anyway.
