Ready, set, go!

Having been gifted with thick hair, I am constantly working on techniques to dry my hair quick quick quick. A perfect set (at home) is generally time consuming, leaving you with rollers in your hair for hours. Although I like the idea of nipping to the shops in your rollers, sometimes you want to show off your lovingly set locks when shopping for toilettries in Asda.
I was told by a collegue that a portable hair bonnet would give me a helping hand in the setting department. And by golly it did! This morning I put my rollers in at 7.15am (which took 9 minutes) and by 7.25am the hood dryer was on. (It attaches over your hairdryer, very easy.) I was able to eat breakfast, put on my makeup AND sort out ebay emails whilst my silver space helmet warmed my set through. By 7.50 I was dryed and ready to go. A revelation!!
 A perfect set from wet to dry in no less than 35 minutes!
Ignore how stupid you look- every girl needs a silver space helment dryer thingy.

Love as always, Lucille x.

    After seeing the results, I now want one. Much more space efficient than the in-chair, vintage ones I've been looking at, and less likely to actually microwave my brain. Thanks for the tip!

    I've wanted one of those for a while, but I since I have gotten used to sleeping in rollers it has become easier to just put them in before bed. Would be great for getting ready for an unexpected night out though!

    i am curious as to how wet your hair was when you started. i have a chair dryer (space-helmet style bonnet) and find that if i start with truly wet and not just damp hair, it still takes a long time (like 2 hours) to dry. from your pic, it looks like this might be better at really getting to the hair than the chair dryer.

    Kristoise; I like to blast dry my hair for no longer than a minute before putting the rollers in. (basically so it's not dripping wet.) However cool the in-chair dryers look, alot of valuable air is lost. The portable hood dryers have a drawerstring, so that every little bit of air is kept inside the hood. I think that is why it is more effective. Hope this helps!

    Wow, this looks so handy for thick hair! I use hot rollers usually as I always forget/am too lazy to set my hair the night before but like to have an array of hair options available, so might think about one of these.

    I just found your blog and LOVE it after reading just one post and your little profile description, thanks for such a lovely blog to read :)
