What are your haircare habits:
1. How often do you wash (daily, weekly,...) and how (shampoo, conditioner, just water,...)?
2. When do you wash (in the morning, evening,...) and how long does it take?
3. How do you keep your hair while you´re sleeping (ponytail,...)?
4. Do you have certain care habits (using eggs, mayonaise, beer,...)?
1. I at rinse with at least conditioner daily and shampoo every two days or so.
2. I wash my hair in the morning, but only because I'm a clean freak who usually won't leave the house without showering immediately before hand. It doesn't take me too long to wash my hair. No longer than it did when I had short hair, I just have to wait for the conditioner to sit around a little longer before I rinse out. Takes at least an hour or two to fully dry though and my hair is only to my shoulders.
3. I usually keep it down and free, but I wake up with it in terrible condition. I sleep with it in a ponytail on days when I don't feel like washing it in the morning, but it makes for some uncomfortable side sleeping.
4. Every once and a while I leave conditioner in for obscene amounts of time (I'm talking 30 minutes or so) but it usually makes no big difference. Once every month or two I treat my hair with olive oil. I leave a tablespoon or so of olive oil in my hair for at least a few hours and rinse it out without using shampoo or conditioner. Seems to rejuvenate my hair when it's feeling dead but also leaves it feeling greasy until the next shampoo.
1. How often do you wash (daily, weekly,...) and how (shampoo, conditioner, just water,...)?
I wash daily. One day I will shampoo and condition while the next I will just wash and condition. I use Aussie Moist.
2. When do you wash (in the morning, evening,...) and how long does it take?
I usually wash not long after I wake up in the Summer, sometime in the afternoon. When I go back to school I will shower at nights. It usually takes me 20 - 30 minutes to shower, shampoo etc. and about an hour for my hair to dry.
3. How do you keep your hair while you´re sleeping (ponytail,...)?
Down. Even when it get's longer, I don't do anything special before I go to bed.
4. Do you have certain care habits (using eggs, mayonaise, beer,...)?
Every month or so I will use Aussie Slip, a detangler - although I have no tangles. I have also been focusing my conditioner on the ends and tips of my hair and letting it set for a minute or two in the shower before washing it off. I haven't ever had to use gel to tame it really, but occassionally I will squirt some Aussie Leave-In Conditioner to keep it less dry. I also take a daily vitamin.

I wash once every other day, or once every three days, in extreme cases. I wash in the morning, and I sleep with my hair down, because if I sleep with it while it's wet, it gets all Medusa-like. I wash, condition, apply frizz-ease spray, and then blowdry.
How often do you wash...
Every 2-3 days in this heat. Even if I don't think it's that dirty, I like to cool my head off :)
When do you wash... how long does it take?
I prefer not to go to sleep with wet hair, so morning or afternoon. I spend about 5-10 minutes on the hair.
...while you´re sleeping...
A high-pony which I tie while I'm lying down (to make sure it won't pull in certain areas and make my head sore). It just about stays in by the time I wake up!
1. How often do you wash? Daily . .. shampoo & conditioner.
But I use as little shampoo as possible.
hair is a real mess from heat & humidity, etc.
How long does it take? Start to finishe (if I'm really fast) 15min.
(sometimes a bit longer)
maybe a hair clip on each side of my head to keep hair out of my face!
1-2x weekly with Loreal Curl Vive shampoo. Rinse and condition every shower with Loreal Intense Smooth conditioner.
Usually Saturday morning...a couple of minutes?
Loose
No, but beer and egg salad on rye sounds like a decent lunch.
?: 1. How often do you wash.
Twice a week
In the evening at the same time as taking a bath, so it takes about 5 minutes, less, really, because I'd be in the bath anyway.
In a braid to prevent tangles
Nothing I can think of in particular
1. How often do you wash? = Once a week with Herbal Essence Shampoo & Conditioner
2. When do you wash = Usually evening time, but can vary. Takes about 5 minutes or so.
3. How do you keep your hair while you´re sleeping = Loose, because I have no other choice in this dreaded awkward stage.
4. Do you have certain care habits = See all of the above (nothing exotic or special)
I wash and condition every day because I'm a raging sack of oily hormones.
I usually wash in the evening, but I'm gonna start doing it in the morning, that way my hair isn't looking it's best while I'm asleep.
Loose.
Not really. I tried the egg/olive oil conditioner once, and my hair did seem noticeably shinier, but I'd rather eat my eggs.
I wash (well, rinse, really) my hair on a daily basis; the process is too refreshing to resist, and I need to clean the rest of my body anyway. I usually wash using shampoo and conditioner once a week, but will sometimes break that cycle by taking a day to wash my hair solely with conditioner if I feel that its becoming too difficult to manage.
I wash in the morning, unless I know that I'll have to spend the day working outdoors, in which case I'll wait 'til I finish working (the end of the day) to shower.
Totally unrestrained (I couldn't even tie it back if I wanted to! Well, not effectively, that is).
None to speak of. I avoid exposing my hair to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time, however (then again, the same can be said for my body...).
Usually every other day. I wash just scalp...rinsing puts the shampoo through all the hair. I add conditioner, clip it up and out of the way, then shave and wash my body. Let it loose and rinse. I give it a squeeze, then hang it over the bathtub while I grab towels (1 for me, 1 for my hair). I wrap it in a towel while I dry myself, then give it a squeeze and remove the towel. After that i spray it with either leave in conditioner or detangler (both are one-in-the-same).
Usually a shower takes 15 minutes, appox. With dry-off time about 20 minutes. About 2-4 hours to dry, depending on the humidity.
I either pin it up (pony tail, or loose pin) or let it down, draping it up over the pillow so it doesn't get caught under my body when down.
I try to once a month completely saturate it with olive oil, pin it up, and leave it oily for at least 2 hours. this adds incredible shine, and makes it feel (and look) much smoother. If I could do it more often I would...but I'm lazy. LOL
Oh, by pin up I mean those big claw, spring loaded things. Not actual pins. they are more of a clamp than a pin.
