Those with wavy/curly hair who air dry- how do you speed up the process?

[cosmopolitanplease]

I'm experimenting with wearing my hair natural (I have 2c hair I think) but it's very prone to frizz so I can't use a hairdryer even with a diffuser. I have a turban that alleged it would speed up drying time but if anything it seems to slow it down considerably. I've tied my hair in some cycling shorts today (couldn't find a long sleeve t shirt) but again this just seemed to keep the wet in and stop the air drying my hair.

I'm sitting here now an hour+ later and my hair's still sopping wet even though I squished as much water out of it as I could. Now the weather's getting colder I don't want to be sitting around for hours with wet hair. I have thick hair in a long bob.

Any tips please? Does anyone have one of those hood-type dryers that old ladies would sit under at the beauty parlour and might that work?

If your hair is still frizzy after it's dried, wet your hands then smooth your hair between them.

Mine takes at least an hour at this time of year to dry Longer the colder it gets. I use the Garnier hair food and leave it in. On work days I srunch it and twist a few curls and turn the car heater on. It's mostly dry by the time I get to work. I'd love a rier that oesn't make me look like crystal tips, or a mad scientist.

If I'm not going anywhere, I wash my hair in the evening, leave it to air dry and give it a quick blast with the diffuser before bed. I sleep in a satin bonnet and scrunch out the crunch of the gel cast in the morning after spritzing it with water.

The results aren't perfect but it's not frizzy and I can fit my wash routine into a busy life. The key thing for me is creating a good cast.
