I wash at night and sleep on damp hair. I only "style" it with heat tools a few times a year...my hair is really boring!

Pre-DD I washed in the am and usually let it airdry and put in some mousse to bring out some wave. That was for a typical work day (from home). If I was actually leaving e house for something like dinner with DH I would curl it. I haven't touched my curling iron in 13 weeks and I've only blow dried it 5 times or so in that timeframe!

I have SUPER curly hair, so it needs to be "watered down" with a daily shower. I only shampoo once, maybe twice, a week, but I heavily condition it each morning in the shower. A quick towel-dry, generous application of L.A. Looks hair gel, and I'm ready to go.

I have curly hair so I shower/shampoo every morning - unless I am putting it up!
Then I blow dry with a diffuser

I am really lazy. I wash at night and let it air dry or just sleep on it damp. I clip my bangs so they dry in the position I want them in though they never look as good as when I actually use a blowdryer.

I have straight hair so I let it air dry at night and run a straightener through it a few times to get out any random waves in the morning. If I'm going somewhere special I love making beachy waves by wrapping strands around the outside of a curling iron.

Wash at night, sleep on damp hair, spray with heat styling spray and flat iron in morning.

Well, before baby, I would blow dry it and then use a straightener to make beachy waves...it would take like an hour! Haha, now...I wash it at night while SO is on baby watch and go to sleep with it wet! My hair is wavy and looks a hot mess when I wake up in the morning. I have used my blow dryer like twice in 9 weeks. Eeek.
@fussygal: I see we have similar routines!

Shampoo/Condition then a wet bun when it's just me and DD.
If DH is home I will usually blow dry it and where it down.

I wash sometimes at night, sometimes in the morning. If at night, I dry my roots, but let the rest air dry. In the morning I either put it in a ponytail or let it go if the bedhead waves look decent. A couple of times a week I will actually dry and style it. My hair is pretty straight, so I either do big waves with a curling iron (rare) or just use a straightener.

My hair is curly, so it has a *routine* - wash and condition in the morning, squeeze, add styling cream, clip, and let air dry.

Hair Routine:
It changes from summer to winter. I wash my hair more in the summer and less in the winter.
Wash 1x a week to 2x a month (Winter).
If I'm wearing my hair out (afro) then I'll no-poo (just conditioner) as I see fit, sometimes every few days.
On wash day:
Pre-poo: Coat hair in detangler, olive/coconut oil mixture & detangle. Detangle for hours
Poo & Condition: Wash, condition, get any final tangles out.
LOC Method to style: leave-in conditioner, oil, cream
Style! This could take anywhere from 10 minutes (my current hairstyle) to 4-6 hours.

Days when I wash:
Wash, blow dry, and put back in a pony tail. I cut it shorter and now I hate it. Curls when I straighten it, but looks frizzy, so I just put back in a pony these days till it grows out some.
Days when I don't wash:
Just use dry shampoo, brush, and back in a pony. This doesn't change no matter the length. I can't wear it down the 2nd day.

Throw it in a ponytail or clip it back usually. I wash it every other day. It's long straight with a tiny bit of wave. I color it too. I have the fiercest looking grays ever! I've never actually seen my natural hair beyond roots since the grays started but When the roots come in they are very unforgiving.

I usually wash every 4 to 7 days. I go running (outside, in Texas) at least 3 times a weeks so sometimes in the summer it's every 3 days. I wash at night, blow-dry & then run a straightener through it in the morning. That usually lasts two or 3 days, then I curl it & or wear it half/all the way up

Wash on day one or spray roots damp on day two. Add mouse to roots (on day one). Round brush in sections, straighten pieces around face. Tease roots at my crown for volume. Hairspray the crap out of it.

..Nothing, really! I wash every 2-3 days, air dry mostly, try to brush it everyday...

My hair is short and curly, so I have to at least get it wet every morning, and put some styling cream in it and scrunch it, let it air dry. I wash about every 3 days, but I run outside 4 days a week and it gets sweaty... on those days I pin it up with about 8,000 bobby pins.

Wash at night 2x week, sleep on damp hair and style in the morning. I have really thick hair so it's still damp in the morning for styling. The other mornings I just re-style or throw it in a pony/bun.

I wash/condition it every day. Towel dry very gently, scrunch the curls back to life with a little product, brush my bangs straight and let everything air dry. Sometimes I have to flat iron my bangs for like 5 whole seconds if they are being unruly; usually if I keep brushing them straight as they dry they turn out ok.

Curly hair! I only shampoo about once a week but shower/conditioner about every other day (if my hair looks okay and I don't feel gross, I just run my fingers through it with water and some leave in conditioner to get the frizz out/more defined). If I shower, I Comb conditioner through my hair with my fingers. Then when the water is off I flip my head forward and comb through w my fingers again w leave in conditioner, then scrunch w gel. Then air dry

Right now I wash at night and blow it out and do flat iron curls. Then I sleep on the curls so they aren't so tight. I can easily get another day of curls with the flat iron I like the look of curling iron curls but they are completely flat after a day

I have thick, curly hair that's cut in a pixie (and I wear it pretty straight), so I only wash 2-3 times a week. When I don't wash it, I use a shower cap so that it doesn't even get wet, and then I just use some dry shampoo if needed and arrange it with my fingers afterwards. Sometimes, I'll quickly go over wacky parts with my flat iron.
When I wash it, I just blow it out as straight as I can get it, which takes about 5 minutes, and then I put some pomade in it to give it a bit of texture.

I wash/condition 3 days a week in the morning. Comb it out. Air dry. I only use heat on it like once every few weeks.
