How many hours a week....

[**Jade**]

Do you spend on your hair? I'd say that I spend at least 10-12 hours a week on my hair and my reggie is pretty simple... just wondering what the rest of you are averaging

 

[Auburn]

The same as you just about.

 

[ajoyfuljoy]

Maybe 5,6 tops.

 

[Tinkerbell19]

Hmm not long at all maybe a couple hrs total. Im mainly just rocking flexi rods and alternating with braidouts and buns so its looooow maintanence

 

[lovenharmony]

I'd say 5-10 hours since all I do is bun. What takes up the most time is my wash and DC sessions 1 - 2x a week. After that, it's smooth sailing until next wash day.

 

[Lanea87]

No more than 5hrs I say. I do the washing process all in 1 day that may take 2-3 hrs including DC. I let it airdry in 4 plaits, and cornroll the next day that takes another 2 hrs cause my arms be hurting. Then I put on my LF until next wash day....

 

[FlowerHair]

I spend around 5 minutes on my hair every morning so that's 5 x 7= 35 mins/week.
Then it takes around 30-40 minutes to wash and detangle my hair once a week.

That's all. But I'm very into the KISS method.

I never "do" my hair. I just put it into a ponytail or a single loose braid in the morning.

 

[Misseyl]

Ok, let me see, I spend maybe 8 minutes combing and moisturizing and put it in a bun.. On wash week I probably spend 1 hour and that's it...If I have to do something special like Henna then I'll spend more time but I don't fuss, I just moisturize then bun.

 

[Allandra]

Less than 5 hours for me.

 

[tiffers]

About 20 minutes a week to shampoo, two hours a week to dc. 35 minutes a week to style, I just moisturize and bun it up. So.... I'll just round it up and say 3 hours

 

[VettaVetta]

the most time I spend on my hair would be my regimen on Saturday (prepoo, wash, dc, rollerset)

 

[mahogany_horizons]

If the time for my conditioning is counted then 5 to 10 hours.

It depends on what I do. When I bun..HAHHAHAHA only time really spent is conditioning my hair!! IT takes me like 5 to 10 minutes to detangle 15 to 30 if I finger detangle, then I put it back in a bun.

If I do a braid out (just did my first yesterday) then an hour..

If I roller set 2 hours plus an hour under the dryer

so anywhere from 5 to 10 hours depending on what I do to my hair.

 

[discobiscuits]

not long. about an hour total give or take. about 5-10 min a day. i rarely dc if i do then add another 20-30 min for that one session. i dc 1-2x a month if i feel it is needed.

 

[1QTPie]

Less that 5 hours, most of it spent on wash day. I wear my hair stretched 99% of the time so nothing takes long. The most time I spend day to day is if I wear a bun and the time it takes to pin my hair up. That's a good 15 minutes per day right there.

 

[NikStarrr]

10-12 hours?! That's a part-time job! lol

I spend about 3 hrs per week.

 

[~~HoneyComb~~]

On detangle wash day I may spend 1/2 hr. Each day after that if I'm wearing a puff, I'll spend 5-10 mins on it. For my flat twist-out, I'll spend 15-20 mins. day putting the twists in to take them out in the am. So I spend less than 5 hrs a week, I really don't want to spend any more time on my hair than that.

 

[Allandra]

10-12 hours?! That's a part-time job! lol

I spend about 3 hrs per week.

I know that's right.

 

[msa]

It only takes me about 5 mins to wash and about an hour to style (twists/bantu knots etc). Every day it takes about five minutes to add some water, oil, and pin up or put on a headband. So I spend less than two hours on my hair every week.

Sometimes I do an overnight something if I know I'm going to wash the next morning, but I don't really count that since I'm sleeping.

 

[bermudabeauty]

I would say 3hours .

 

[Neith]

In a normal week I spend about 7 hours on my hair.

but for henna week, it's more like 11 or 12 hours. If I'm straightening, it goes up to 11 or 12 too.

 

[mamauv2]

10-12 HOURS?! Good LAWD that's a lot of time!

 

[ShaniKeys]

I spend 2 to 5 hrs on my hair per week, I wash-DC-moisturize-seal-style (puff or two strand twists) every sunday.

 

[prospurr4]

I spend about 2 minutes each morning on my hair and another 2 minutes at bedtime. My weekly wash sessions take about 1-1/2 hours, which include cowash, detangle and rollerset...soooo about 2 hours a week. I try to spend as little time as possible on my hair.

 

[spacetygrss]

5 minutes 5 times a week for cowash (25 minutes total); I shampoo and DC twice a week. One of those days I follow the directions and sit under the dryer for 15 minutes. The other DC day I keep it in for about an hour.

I don't do anything special to my hair 95% of the time.

I'd say less than two hours. Not bad.

 

[Allandra]

10-12 HOURS?! Good LAWD that's a lot of time!

 

[ScorpionQueen]

I spend about 5 hours with 2 hours going to deep conditioning.

 

[moonglowdiva]

Less than 5 for me.

 

[KEWLKAT103]

About 10 min per day if I cowash. About 1hr on wash day or wear my hair out day. So I guess 2 hrs.

 

[Jassy28]

I voted 5-10, just because my wash days I quite an event; I havn't mastered roller setting yet!

 

[MizAvalon]

Very, very little during a normal week. Maybe just a couple of hours, if that. CW and bunning only takes 10 minutes.

Oh, I forgot wash day. Wash day takes a couple of hours. So I guess around 4 or so hours per week total I spend on my hair.
