well, i wash every other day, at about 8 PM. five minutes to put a deep pre-conditioner in my hair, 1/2 an hour to let it sit, 15 minutes to wash, 45 minutes to set my hair on medium sized magnetic rollers using the mohawk method, an hour to let it dry under the dryer, another 10 to take the rollers out and pincurl each curl so i can sleep at night. i finish around 11 PM.
it takes less time to set it on flexi-rods, but then i have to sit under the dryer longer, because my hair dries faster on magnetic rollers.
but i don't gripe about how long it takes; because i'm doing other things while my hands are free. i.e., under the dryer, i'm doing homework.
