How do you women that blow out your hair do it?

I just spent an hour blowing out my hair!!! There has to be an easier way!!! I have a ceremic straightener, but I like the way my hair curls when it is blown out. Any helpful hints?

Well, I always have the dryer on high and blow the hell out of it. I use a big barrel brush.

Usually wakes me about 20-30 minutes, but if my hair is damp-almost dry already it's faster.

same here, and i can't find an easier way...I bought a great blow dryer and I use the straightening thing on the end and it's metal. I have a Solano, it's fab.

this is about the only time that my thin hair is good to have! It's about chin length too so it only takes about 5-8 minutes!

I invested in a great blow dryer. I think it is VIP Eliam or something like that. I normally wash at night, let it air dry while I sleep, then wake up, section it off, and go at it for 40 minutes. It isn't fun, but it will last me on average 3 days. (except in this weather, I look like a nut) If I blow dry still wet, I will be at it for 1.5 hours.

If you really want a great look, blow it out, wrap hair in big rollers, then I use a bag with a hose on it. I attach to blow dryer, and leave on for 10 minutes. I love it. takes away all fly aways and makes my hair look less course.

If someone else does it for me.
Seriously, I used to to it by myself all the time, and couldn't stand it anymore. Now most of the time I let it dry naturally. I only get it blown out when I get a haircut, or on special occaisions.

Thanks ladies. I think I need to get a better blow dryer and patience.

I use a huge vented round brush..they call it thermal..it is supposed to trap some of the heat in and dry the hair quicker. I like it and along with Physique or Smooth Down(Redken) it cut my drying time by abotu 20 minutes.

I also put on the product onto towel dried hair and then put my hair back into the towel for a few minutes (maybe 10?) that also seems to take out the bulk of the moisture.
