This hack will help you save your time while you are extremely late to reach your destination, yet want to set your curls right.

Take a shower, dress up and rush to your car and turn on the heater. The heater of the car serves as a hooded dryer to set your curls neatly.

Put the airflow and the heater temperature to the max. Once your hair is almost dry, switch to the air conditioning mode in order to restrain extreme moisture drain from the hair through heat.

3. If it fits your budget get a hooded dryer

Check this Professional Hood Dryer Red by Kiss though not as costly as salon hooded dryers, yet works the same way and is handy too. This can be used at home conveniently to dry your curly hair and also to set the curls.

It comes with ceramic tourmaline coating that maintains the lustre and conditioning of the hair and it switches 4 heat settings to fit your purposes and the best thing is you get 15% extra space to accommodate rollers for curls and to get set for the day.

You can also get this hooded dryer too (Annie Hot & Hotter Super Large Turbo Pro Hood Dryer 3000). This also comes with ceramic ionic technology for frizz free and even heat styling of the hair and has also got 360 degree even heat technology along with 3 heat and speed settings.

4. Use plopping technique or simple wrapping hair in a towel in the right way

This is an ancient technique when no diffusers or hooded dryers were even known to the world. It’s the simplest and easiest way to dry your curls.

All you need to do is take your cotton t-shirt or a microfiber cloth and place it on a flat surface. Bring your hair forward by bending your neck down.

Place the hair at the centre of the t-shirt or the cotton cloth and start wrapping your hair into the pattern of twisted braids and then tie a knot at the top of the head with the cloth.

Turn on the fan or the air conditioner or the heater in the room and sit close to the source. Unwind the cloth and open your hair. Voila you’re done!

5. Turn on the heater to dry your curls

Almost all of us have a heater at home, if not get your hands into it ASAP Check this out! Lasko Oscillating Digital Ceramic Tower Heater. Come out of the shower, and turn on the heater.

Bring your hair close to the heater (though maintaining a safe distance). Squeeze your hair with a t-shirt to soak in excess moisture. Now take a brush and start combing your hair.

You can also use a heat protectant serum for maintaining the frizz free look as heat can be a bit damaging to the hair.

6. Dry your hair naturally

This is perhaps the best option for your hair. It needs no tools at all and zero expense. Turn on the fan or sit in the sun and start squeezing your hair into a cotton cloth.

The hair will take its own sweet time to dry naturally and will help to maintain its own texture and shine.
