Too Busy to Do Your Hair?

Do you look forward to wash day with excitement about what new product you're going to try? Or maybe you get excited to try a new technique?

Sometimes, though, you are just plain too tired to do your hair and you consider going an extra day or even sometimes an extra week. You just don't have the energy to go through the process of shampooing, conditioning, detangling, rollersetting, blow drying, etc.

I know because it is something I struggle with ALL the time! Instead of looking forward to the weekend, when it's upon me, sometimes I feel a sense of dread because I have to go through the motions to do my hair AGAIN, ALREADY!

Here are some tips to help you enjoy your wash days as well as help you save some time!

• Shampoo and deep condition before going to bed to allow your hair to airdry.  You can make two braids to stretch your hair and make it easier to blow dry the next day.


• Wash your hair in the morning and then put it in a bun or two pigtails to let it airdry.  Instead of blowdrying from wet to dry, you'll save some time.


• Pay your bills or catch up on emails while you're deep conditioning your hair.


• While sitting under the hair dryer, put a dvd in and put on the closed captions!  Time will fly.


• Get some fruit, nuts, and pretzels to take in the bathroom with you so you have something to snack on.


• Light some scented candles and enjoy the aromatherapy while you do your hair.


• Take breaks from major styling once in a while. Have a bun week.  Many women also like to wear drawstring ponytails.  Just make sure to get one that matches your natural hair color and texture.

I hope these tips are helpful. What do you do to make your wash day more enjoyable?
