If my hair dries to about 80% within an hour and a half, I know my hair was not thoroughly moisturized. If it's been at least 4 hours, better yet overnight and my hair is still damp and cool, I know I'm retaining moisture like crazy. The product will definitely graduate into staple status.
So if you need to evaluate your products performance, try airdrying with minimal product and see how long it takes for it to dry. Trust me, your hair will dry faster with some products than others. This technique can also help to determine porosity issues.
Happy drying!

Great method Eryn! I am loving your blog and I am going to try this.
Hmmm I'm going to try this. Do you leave your ends hanging down?
LaToya - Anyway you choose to airdry with minimal product is the method I would do for this purpose. So either a bun or hanging loose is good for me.
Okay Eryn. I washed last night and was about to roller set my hair and it was so dry that quick! I had to spray lots of water in my hair so I could apply my leave-in before I rolled. So, this means my moisture retention is off...right? This is the first time it has done that and I am doing Kena's winter moisture regimen right now. Argh!
Shauni - Sorry so late! But I would say that it's normal for hair to start to dry during a rollerset, especially at your length, but if loads of water is needed, I'd say there is an issues that needs your attention.
really good tip!! thanks chica!
