jacob , you have the luxury of having a haircut that rarely needs styling . i don ’ t . i have to set aside about an hour and a half to get ready in the mornings . every day , i wake up and head straight for the shower . every second day , i wash my hair . if it ’ s a hair-washing day , i frequently need to wash my hair twice because it gets really oily . then i usually put in a conditioner and have to rinse that out too . because my hair is so long , i seldom manage to take a shower in under twenty minutes . afterwards , i often put on a pot of coffee and get dressed while i wait for it to brew . i take a long time to get dressed in the morning . every now and then i remember to choose my outfit the night before , but usually i do it in the morning . in all , getting dressed takes about half an hour , at which time my hair is now semi-dry so then i have to style my hair . from time to time i ’ ll put my hair up , but oftentimes i bloody it straight . and then , because of the texture of my hair , i regularly have to flat-iron it to keep it from frizzing . that ’ s another twenty minutes or so . after that , i have my daily makeup routine .
