How do you deal with long drying times?

My hair takes forever to dry. When it's cold and humid like it is right now, it can take a full 24 hours before it's completely dry, and even when it's warm and dry out, it takes a good 6-8 hours,...

Hmm. I'm unsure where I fit into her new curl classification. I generally consider my hair to be wavy, but my hair was seriously not straight as a child. In fact, I had cherub curls as a child, and...

Sorry, I meant "Herbals," not "Naturals." I can't use Suave at all, so I can't really comment on how those compare.

In my experience, the clarifying ones (I've used both Vanilla Mint and Kiwi Lime) are lighter than the other ones and the Moisture Milks line is heavier than the Naturals or Tea Therapy lines.

Too long to pineapple

My hair has finally gotten too long and heavy to stay in a pineapple overnight. Sleep caps don't work for me, either. Does anyone have any advice for keeping very long (just past hip-length) wavy...

It only took me a few months to develop a decent hair regimen, where the good days outnumbered the bad and I was generally happy with my hair, but my true holy grail, awesome hair 99% of the time...

I use just a drop or two of camellia oil to tame second day frizzies, and it works really well.

Thank you all so much for your suggestions. I tried applying me pre-KCCC amount of leave-in, plopping, and then scrunching in the KCCC, and it took much less time to dry. I also got much more wave...

I looked through a bunch of threads regarding KCCC, and I didn't see anything that addressed this issue, which is why I posted.

KCCC = wet forever?

I recently got a tub of KCCC, and while I am loving what it does for my waves, it's taken forever to dry both times I've used it. As in, applied it after my shower when I got home from work and still...

Oh, yay! I finally understand my hair's porosity! Based on Tiffany's article, I pretty much have textbook low-porosity hair. That explains why it's so very picky about types and amount of oil I use,...

I use a wide-tooth comb to detangle in the shower, and also on second or third day dry hair if the wave has pulled out enough that clumps just look stringy and dirty.

Thirding the HEBE. It's great on it's own or mixed with aloe for a slightly softer hold and (for me, anyway) better clumping.

My hair started out curly, went straight sometime between when I cut it all off at age 8 and when I grew it back out at age 10, and is now very solidly wavy with a single ringlet at each temple.

I don't find that Suave conditions better so much as that it coats my hair more, so I end up with a film on my hair even after I've rinsed forever and ever. Needless to say, I prefer VO5 for CO.

No, you shouldn't have any kind of film on your scalp after CO washing. Your scalp should feel completely clean, but not tight or dry like right after a shampoo.
