1) On a normal given day, not including actual shower time, and waiting for my straightening iron to heat up. . I'd say 6 or 7 minutes. That includes brushing and straightening my bangs. . Of course, if I actually _want_ to spend time straightening the rest of my hair, that's another hour and a half added to that. ^^; If not, then I just tie it up after brushing and stuff, then go. .

2) Um. Let's see. . Its about mid-back if I take it down. . and straightening it gets an inch or two past that. I haven't cut it for almost 3 years, so that's why its so long. . Oo; I also have a pair of bangs my friend did one day, and they're almost touching the bottom of my nose, where they were cut just above my eyes. Its all a lightish brown right now. . By Saturday it'll be purple for my cosplay. Then back to boring brown again. . Oh, and I mentioned straightening 'cause I do that occassionally, but its naturally wavy and uncontrolled like heck. So yeah.
