Let it air dry. Heat does too much damage.

No time to let it air dry when a woman is on her way to the office and working OT.

But a woman who puts her traditional role first, will put her hair first.

Hair communicates (though one must take into consideration a woman's entire appearance, considering how she would look with shorter hair as compared to wearing long hair up--while also taking into consideration whether she has long hair but is wearing it up because she is appears engaged in a certain activity, to accurately guess what her hair communicates).

And if we consider the extreme of women who buzz-cut their hair--that certainly is low maintenace, and that obviously signals militancy, no?

If you wash it at night, there's plenty of time.

I even put it up wet fromm time to time. But it's NEVER going back short again. Waste of a good widow's peak.

Are you a guy or a girl? I've never heard that short hair is easier. I grew my hair back out years ago....because I didn't have the time to maintain a shorter styled cut and style. I'm also very non-traditional.
My grandmothers generation and my father in laws generation are ripe with traditional women, in their 70's and 80's with short hair. Just go to any beauty shop that caters to them....they all have short hair.
Sorry, I don't think you can generalize this.
