corporate coping for the nature nut, part one

Blow-dry your hair on the way to work:

Blow-drying your hair on the way to work does not involve an ac-adapter—nature nuts repudiate such gadgets. Rather, follow these simple steps:

1. Shower before work, at home.

2. After you have dressed, keep your towel around your shoulders.

2. Apply appropriate styling products (gel, mousse, serum, etc.), as desired.

3. Pack a hairbrush in your purse or briefcase.

4. Drive to work, under the following conditions:

a. Roll down your windows.

b. Turn your car's air on the highest setting, the temperature on 'heat,' and direct the vents toward your scalp. (If you get hot, you can adjust the temperature of the air, but try to leave the fan on the highest setting.)

5. Periodically run your brush/fingers through your hair, focusing on the hair closest to the scalp, but occasionally twirling the ends.

6. After you arrive at work, remove the towel from your shoulders and do a brief styling touch-up before exiting your car.

7. Enter work with dry, fresh, clean, styled hair—and save 10 minutes of time from your morning routine!

Of course, the effectiveness of this method depends on the length of your hair and the length of your commute. Minimum commute time is 15 minutes, with ideally 2 more minutes for each inch of hair below the chin.
