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.
Fortunately I’m not a fabric softener user! :) You’re the second person to suggest using a second dry towel however so I’ll definitely be trying that. (I just have to find the other towel first, lol)
