What's your routine? I'm especially interested in hearing from the ones with shoulder length or longer hair.

My hair is naturally very straight and thin, with some waves in the back. I do the occasional updo, but mostly it just hangs flat. I realize it does nothing and nada for my style or overall appearance.

I am in awe of those who look "did" everyday. Some elaborate waves, beautiful locks and tresses hanging strategically. Intricate updos. Braids or curls.

How do you do it? What products do you use? And maybe most importantly: how long does this routine take you? HOW do you find the time?
