I can’t stand drying my hair. I really envy middle-aged adult people who wash and go (do these people exist? I don’t know any) but I also envy people who accept that getting their hair to look presentable is going to take awhile.

I’ve resented this concept for most of my adult life. I don’t like anything about it. Not the heat protection, not the drying itself, not the styling products, not the additional tools that you might want to use when it’s finally dry. The whole thing is a monumental bore. I wouldn’t mind if my hair then looked amazing, but this is just to get it looking normal.
