I almost forgot to post this up. Anyway, I'm just gonna put it up because it might help someone.
I nicknamed it a ponytail wrap. I actually got the idea years ago from mija (thanks mija if you're out there).
This involves no direct heat. You can airdry if you want but I don't have days to wait so I sit under the dryer.
I wash my hair and put it in two low ponytails. Comb and smooth the ponytail as smooth as you can while directing it up and across your forehead. Clip as you go with snap clips or whatever you want to use. I did both of my ponytails going up and crossed over each other. Oh, and I tied it down with one of those wrap scarves I think it's called. It's a must to tie it down at least part of the time it's drying. This really helps it dry flat.
If I had done a silk wrap after this my hair would probably be flat iron straight....almost, hmm.
It took forever to dry though. My intentions were to do this so I could try caruso's again....not so good

. I think it would work great for anyone wanting a stretched out no-heat style....dosen't have to be completely straight. Banding gives really pretty waves too so that's another option.
. That's what I ended up doing with it. It shows more length than doing a wet/damp braid-out.
I do this a lot too, usually overnight. But you're right - it does take forever to air-dry like this.
