The actual washing, conditioning and detangling of my hair is like 20 minutes unless I choose to deep condition.

30 minutes start to finish for a wash and go without blow drying.

About an hour start to finish putting in twists for a twist out. Add an hour if I feel like sitting under the dryer.

1.5 hours - 2 hours depending on if I do a twist out. That includes a deep condition under the dryer for 15 minutes.

Most of the day. But that's because I get lazy and leave the deep conditioner in for hours. Probably do about 3 hours of actual washing and styling.

Start to finish, about 2 hrs, lately, and I have been diffusing

About an hour start to finish if I don't deep condition. I usually flat twist my hair though and keep it in a bun so it's very low maintenance.

3-4hrs washing to straightening

Less than an hour to wash, deep condition, detangle, and style. I don’t do twists or flats, just a wash n go, half up/half down, or high ponytail.

Wash process: 30-45 minutes
Twisting (usually individual): 3-4 hours.
My hair is really thick so I have to do small twists.

Has anyone on here suffered with scalp psoriasis and had success treating it? I've struggled with it for a few years, and I found that the last few months it has just gotten horrible.

It's getting embarassing and not sure what to do other than medication which I've heard can cause hair loss. I've tried ACV rinses and tea tree oil, but no real results.
