What i did (personaly) was i got a
water absorbant hair straightener (clairs $20)
I love it.
When your hair is wet turn on your streightener and straighten it . It may steam but dont worry because that just means its sucking up water.

DefinedEyes answered Thursday June 22 2006, 9:03 pm: I usually put my hair in a towel, and put my makeup on or eat breakfast while its up, and it drys a little so its only damp and it doesnt take near as long to blow dry & straighten. [ DefinedEyes's advice column | Ask DefinedEyes A Question ]
MissAshleyXOXO answered Thursday June 22 2006, 9:02 pm: If you blow dry your hair right when you get out of the shower, then that could be why it takes so long. Try wrapping your hair up in a towl for about 20 mins so it soaks up the access water and then blow dry and it shouldn't take as long.

kristen22 answered Thursday June 22 2006, 6:03 pm: God that sucks dont it? I USED to spend that much time but now I've got it down to less than a hour to blowdry & staighten. First things first obviously, the "nappier" your hair is the longer it's going to take to striaghten it. So you need to fix that problem. After doing this to my hair and trying hundreds of products to help me in my quest I have finally found THE ONE. (Hear the hallelujah choir? lol) Pick up a bottle of Pantene Pro-V hair serum. Put it in your hair right before you blowdry smoothing it in from root to tip, you wont believe how much faster you can straighten your hair and it WONT get frizzy later in the day either. Go here to see what the bottle looks like so you know what your looking for: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
You can pick it up at Wal-mart for $5.00 [ kristen22's advice column | Ask kristen22 A Question ]
