How long does it take to airdry in rollers?

[*ElleB]

I'm planning on making this part of my routine....?

That would depend on a number of things, such as: the amount and size of rollers used; the length of hair; thickness of hair; porosity of hair; amount and type of setting foam or lotion used (if any); and the amount of humidity in the air. You might do well to dry your rollerset with heat for 10 minutes or so, then airdry.

Oh I see....But what is the ball park for drying time? Anyone who has done this before can you put estimates...?

I agree with KhandiB, it would take my hair days. No kidding.

All night, and my hair is short and fine.

Very long. My hair is shoulder length and medium and it takes me over night (8hours) and when I wake up its still damp..

Overnight for me. That is the only way I dry my rollerset. The longer I have been without a relaxer the longer it takes to dry but in general about 8-10 hours.

Wow, ummm, then I'm definitely gonna have to get a hooded dryer, and sit under that for like 20 minutes and then let the rest airdry. WHen I'm in the salon it doesnt take more than 30 minutes so I guess I can hood-dry it for 20 and cut down the airdry time to maybe a couple hours....

I agree with balisi here. It does depend on the things she listed above. I also think it's a great idea to sit under the dryer for a little while, and then finish up with air drying. When you normally sit under the dryer for a rollerset, how long to you sit under the dryer?

Off topic,

It would take me days even if I used a dryer for 1 hour, it would still take my hair probably 1.5 days to airdry. I do airdry but it is a tricky combination of using a blowdryer for a couple hours, airdrying for 3 or 4 and then using a fan for 2 hours.
