Morning School Routine?

in Curly Teens
It always seems like I'm rushing to get ready in the morning! Is there anything that you find that helps you manage your time better or anything that helps you get your hair done more quickly? Also, how long does it take your hair to dry and any tips on getting it to dry more quickly?

I follow the same method! Sometimes I keep my hair twisted/braided throughout the next day to make it completely dry, then unbraid/untwist the next morning after.
Well in order to minimize the time I need for my hair in the morning, I like to get things done the night before (even though I wake up at 5am). Basically, this is my curly routine for the night before:
1.) Shampoo my hair
2.) Put rinse-out conditioner in hair and detangle ends. Leave it in for 5-10 minutes as I finish shower.
3.) After finishing shower, I rinse out the conditioner
4.) I dry out hair gently with a towel
5.) I apply a small amount leave-in conditioner or pomade to hair
6.) I leave my hair alone and let it air dry in a loose ponytail
My hair typically takes a while to completely dry but after an hour or so it's pretty dry. If I go to bed with it totally wet it will still be wet in the morning.
At night I like to let it air dry for half an hour to an hour before I put it up in a pineapple and sleep. Then when I wake up I have great curly hair and all I have to do is apply some leave in conditioner and anti-frizz cream. I think if you do your shower the night before, you won't have to spend so much time in the morning on your hair. If I ever shower in the morning, I just let it air dry then apply leave-in conditioner and it looks fine but I like the way it looks with my night routine and that way I'm not rushed in the morning.
