How long does it take for your hair to naturally air-dry?

I voted 2-3 hours but it can take as much as 5 for it to dry completely underneath... and if its bunned or braided then it takes all day/night!

3-5 hours here. When I visited eastern Oregon, though, it took... about an hour, I think. It was soooo dry there! I got really chilled-- I ended up wrapping my head in the damp towel so my hair would dry more slowly.

ETA: Bunned, it doesn't dry. I've kept my hair wet for days doing this.

I'm surprised by the number of you that said that it only takes you between 2-3 hrs to air-dry your hair. You guys are lucky to have hair that dries relatively quickly!

2 hours at most. I don't drip dry, I towel off the excess and then leave it alone to dry.

Mine is only shoulder length and it takes more than
five hours to dry. I remember being a kid and it taking
FOREVER when it was long. Oh well.

My shoulder length hair sometimes takes up to 6 hours to dry.
My individual hairs have a fine structure, but I have so many of them... or so my hairdresser told me.

4 hours! since going cone-free I've noticed it takes a lot longer. Used to be 2-2.5 hours

It takes me 2-3 hours to dry my hair completely, which is really annoying because it isn't super-long (just hovering around APL) -- I guess it's because of the season. But it necessitates taking showers at night since I don't want to leave the house with wet hair for work.

I'm not sure, actually, so I didn't vote. When I used SLS shampoos, it would take about 3-4 hours (ETA: probably 4 hours, come to think of it) and now that I'm doing mostly WO, I think it takes maybe 1-2 hours... it dries a lot quicker than it used to!
