Uh oh girl....sounds like you have a moisture deficiency.
Usually hair that dries really fast isn't that healthy....
Sorry...hate to be the bearer of unfavorable news.
Unfortunately, I have to agree...how fast is "fast" I you don't mind me asking?

Usually if it dries really fast doesn't that mean that your hair is porous?
Check out sistaslick she has a GREAT article on this and how to test porosity. I'm planning on starting back on ACV rinses to tame my porosity.

Beauty IS skin deep.
Wow. That's something. Takes my hair at least 2 days to dry.erplexed
Yup, me too dlewis. Frustrating, isn't it?
Well damn!
I moisture everyday- sometimes twice.
QT- I'd say less than a half an hour.
*sigh* I just can't get this mess to act right, I'm ready to cut this shyt.
But before I do that, what do you guys recommend I try?
Oh no babe, don't give up, don't cut it!! I know how you feel, i get down in the dumps about mine sometime too. My advice would be to find a good deep conditioner and get busy, what are you currently using?? My stylist just informed me that my deep conditioner isn't a deep conditioner at all, that could be your culprit, especially since deep conditioners are considered like the bulk of your moisture. (just a thought
) And what moisturizers are you using?

Ditto. Porosity Control is another good option.

I've been dc'ing with ORS Hair Mayo and using Surge, NTM Silk Touch and coconut oil.

I have some of that. I don't remember it working that well.
Maybe I'll try the ACV. Where would I find it?

That's not too bad, what length are you? My hair takes about 30-40 minutes if I airdry it loose (i'm in warn climate) and i'm BSL, when it's in a bun it takes a day.
*ETA: Just washed my hair about 1 1/2 ago and it still isn't dry..*
Naw girl don't cut it! Especially if that's all you in the avatar (cute pic!). Do you use protein at all? Also co-signing on the Porosity Control and Sistaslick's article...you'll be fine

My hair dried really fast like that when it was damaged.

Ditto to all the advice offered here.
If moisture isn't your issue, perhaps porosity and/or protein is.
That should be a relatively easy fix with these suggestions.
That's definitely a porosity issue. Porous hair tend to be damaged and lack elasticity.
