SoCalGirl, I get bored doing my hair too. I've been showering at night and blowing my hair out then, and tying my hair back in a really loose ponytail to sleep. Then in the morning I just need to straighten it so it takes less time.
When I do it all in the morning, I try and take breaks - I'll shower, then wrap it in a towel and scrunch dry while I put on my lotion, then I'll let it air dry when I eat breakfast. After that I'll blow out whatever is left (I've been using Smooth Infusions Style-Prep from Aveda beforehand) and then go eat breakfast. After that I'll straighten my hair, and I am lazy and never do a perfect job.
