Hiya ladies (and men if it applies),

I was just thinking about going out tonight and what I would have to do to get ready and immediately I thought of my hair.

I like to straighten my hair, but because it is so long and thick, the process takes about 2 hours. So I usually just clip it up.

I was wondering, how long do you ladies usually spend sorting out your hair for a night out?

I was assuming my hair was already dry when counting my two hours. If I had to include drying time I may as well stay in for the night

I use a no heat curls headband method the night before, take it down around lunchtime and then comb it out in the evening for retro waves. If I need to straighten and blow-dry it it takes about an hour so I can't often be arsed. My hair is stupidly thick.

If you fancy waves, YouTube 'overnight curls' or 'headband curls'

I have poker straight Asian hair and used to use Velcro roller, tongs, bendy rollers etc.

But this technique is awesome because it's SO fast. Plus, you can sleep in it, as a headband is so soft.

Binned all my rollers and tongs. Big thumbs up!

Mine takes 20 mins whether i'm out or just for a normal day. I have a short bob though. My hair is thick and wavy but 20 mins includes blow drying and straightening.

When my hair is longer (shoulder length) a blow dry and straightening takes an hour.

Lop it all off! Liberation.

When I had long hair it was so thick and curly it would take hours to straighten, so I never did. If I blow-dried it or brushed it it would go frizzy, so I never did! I don't do either of those things now either. It must be the lowest maintenance hair in existence

Great colours I tried a red wig for Halloween party last year and just looked dodgy so I used a temporary dye instead. I said 6-8 washes, I thought it would be gone in a week if I washed it every day.... No. It lasted about a month! I did like it though

An ex-boss of mine had the most incredible dark, curly hair down to her waist.

She straightened it every day and it always looked terrible because of how much heat it took to do it.

She came in one day with it just washed and natural - than k fuck her hubby was a good friend of mine or it could have got messy....

I couldn't spend that long getting ready for anything.

I spend about 10 minutes on my hair, including washing it and wrapping it in the turban towel.

It's big naturally curly hair that doesn't hold straight for long. I had it straightened once, left the salon got lots of compliments then it started to drizzle and the curls pinged back in a frizzy second.

I used to have a drawer full of big clips. My hair is thick and naturally wildly, but unevenly, curly at the back. I then discovered yuko, a chemical hair straightening treatment although tortuous at the same time. It's my one real indulgence every 9-12 months. Tames the wildness totally so I can wear my hair loose until there is sufficient regrowth, and funds, to do it all again

It's that or shave it off like him!

If I'm going out I get my daughter to do my hair. I wash it and apply Macadamia nut oil then let it dry naturally. My hair ends up however my daughter decides to do it. 20 minutes to straighten,maybe 10 to put it up if she's in the mood and depending on what I'm wearing. Sometimes no straighteners just a curling iron to neaten up the waves .

From washing to finished, an hour or less. It's super thick but I tend to blast dry then curl with tongs, since I go for quite a messy look anyway then it doesn't take long. Maybe longer if I'm using hair extensions.

I have naturally curly/wavy hair and i don't do anything different for a night out than what i do every morning getting ready. I wash and condition it with a good shampoo and conditioner. Then comb it. Give it a quick 40 second (if that) blast with a hair dryer (i have a really good one that stops my hair frizzing). Then kind of push it upwards to encourage the curls and leave it be

Althogether it takes approx 10 mins however i always bath at the same time so the whole process including the bath takes a bit longer but the hair part is approx 10 mins.

I get lots of compliments about my hair because of it's natural colour and wavy curls

That's why I rarely bother and it always looks messy or gets shoved up in a plait. Curling it by pinning it up when it's wet round a hairband can be done while sat on the sofa watching a movie. That boredom I can just about stomach. I often get up the morning after I've done that and just leave it pinned up for work. Looks quite cute, like a messy Victorian school ma'am do.

Yep I've been know to do that too!!

Now I let it dry naturally, whack some conditioning mouse in and twist it with my fingers for a better curl.

"Hiya ladies (and men if it applies),

I was just thinking about going out tonight and what I would have to do to get ready and immediately I thought of my hair.

I like to straighten my hair, but because it is so long and thick, the process takes about 2 hours. So I usually just clip it up.

I was wondering, how long do you ladies usually spend sorting out your hair for a night out?

-Courtney"

On head? Or armpits? Lol

I'm a girly girl, but my hair is easy to manage as it is so fine, so wash, condition, and about 10 mins to dry.....(after I have the correct hair lines etc)

Makeup? Takes a lot bloody longer lol x

I'm popping over there then. I'm still pretty much a make-up novice but YouTube has been a very good friend in the learning department. Plus some fantastic tips from some of the forum ladies.

my hair naturally curly - wash and leave in towel for about half hour - give it a gentle rub and spray in something to prevent frizz - leave to dry - just before i go out tip my head upside down and apply hairspray - crazy hair but i love it
