Good morning everyone

Today's question is .............

What kind of haircut/hairstyle do you have??
On a typical day, how long does it take for you to style your hair before leaving for work/school? And what do you do?

Good morning, great question

I have my hair layered, with blonde highlights, i usually let it just dry and do nothing with it, but the last few weeks ive been straightening it and it looks a load better, only takes about 5 mins to sort it out

My hair is short - very short. I have very fine hair, and short is best for me. I hate working with my hair. I shower, comb it, and that's it. It's Jaimie Leigh Curtis short.

I was bald for 5 1/2 months from chemo, and didn't mind it at all, actually.

I am trying to grow my hair now, I normally have it above shoulder length. It is now just past my shoulders, and some layers. No colour in it as I don't want to ruin it's natural colour.

It is pretty straight but has a wonky wave in it, it normally takes about 15 minutes to do it. (Blowdry or straighten)

It's probably kind of a strawberry blonde, a shoulder-length bob. I wash it (every day of my life), work in a little leave-in conditioner, work in a little mousse, and blow it dry. On a work day, that's all I have time for.

My hair is really thick and wavy so I keep it long to weigh it down and lessen the curls & frizz.

I wash it 2-3 times a week in the afternoon, and air dry, I never blow dry. Only takes a couple of minutes to brush in the morning and either into a ponytail or braid. When I straighten it that takes about 40 minutes.

I wash and straighten in the afternoon because I don't like to waste time fussing with my hair early in the morning.

my hair is getting long again, it's probably 5 inches below my shoulders. I have it layered with the sides kinda angled, no bangs. No color either. I wash and condition everyday, put no product in and let it air dry... so it takes me about 5 minutes tops to do my hair everyday and that's including washing it


I spend $20-$30 on my hair every year because I only get it cut around every 4 months and my ex sister-in-law does it for $10

I keep my hair short since it is very thin. After washing it, I use a gel and then blow it dry, then I use the curling iron. That is what I did while I was working and do the same now that I am retired. It takes about 15 minutes to do this.

Mine's long right now, but I'm planning on cutting it to chin length soon. All I do with it now is wash, let it dry naturally and put it in a ponytail. I spend about 3 minutes on my hair each day!

I have an chin length undercut bob. After washing I put gel on, blow dry and use a curing iron to make sure it all flips under evenly. It takes about 15 minutes.

Mine is long at the moment, but I want to have it cut soon - if it grows another inch or so (it may already be long enough) I can donate it to charity and still leave it touching my shoulders

Styling - it depends if I am washing or straightening or curling. To wash, dry and straighten I am looking at close to an hour. If I curl it after washing, 30 mins. If I am not doing anything important, I tend to let it airdry with some straightening serum

My hair is shoulder length and wavy. I wash, blow dry and straighten it on the days I work or have somewhere to go. If I don't work, I just wash it and let it air dry. It takes me 10-15 minutes to dry and straighten it.

I have a layered cut with side swept bangs, although I hate my bangs now and am growing them out. My hair is maybe an inch below my shoulders right now, and I am trying to grow it.

I am trying not to use any heat in it unless I have like a party or something important to go to...I just let it air dry and put it in a messy bun most of the time. I wish I had naturally straight hair, that would be a blessing, lol..
Since I don't, my hair is a mess most of the time unless I take the extra time to straighten it...

Style?? what is that?? I do what is easiest for me, and that is long and straight because I can tie it back and keep it sorta neat because I spend my days doing farm work and wearing farmer caps. Long hair doesn't become hat hair so easily. Stuff is too fine and too straight to keep short - I tried and it was 3 times the work to look presentable. With it long and straight, I just wash, let dry a bit and go, no blow drying, curling irons, setting gel, hair spray, nothing. Heck, I dont even colour it, I am now roan

I have a long layers cut. My hair is down to my middle-lower back. I usually just throw it up into a ponytail or messy bun in the morning before work. If I leave it down it usually frizzes out at work because of the acid fumes in the air.

My hair is long, thick and red. I have to wear it up for work so I put it in a french braid (i love the way they look). I just wash it and let it dry on its own. I don't like putting any heat on it. It can actually take a couple days to dry completely

Mine is a bit like that, its mad, thick and curly, I have it layered, its just past shoulder length, I have it cut every six weeks and my friend straightens it for me now and again, mostly I like the wild look, but when I am having a can't be bothered day its in a pony tail. x
