My hair is shoulder length wavy and thick, I use a curly hair dryer and it seems to take for ever to dry so I leave it slightly wet. I have some weakness in my arms so holding the dryer is not always that easy how do you handle your wavy locks. I really need a keratian treatment but that is a whole other ball of wax. Thanks all

You should purchase a microfiber hair towel... they really remove alot of water with no damage.

 You can also wrap your hair in satin or silk to get rid of some of excess water.

@I am still oxox   I have thick, wavy hair and here's how I dry my hair:  After I rinse out my shampoo and conditioner, I gently squeeze out excess water, then I put on some detangler and a wave enhancing curl cream, then I put it up into a 100% cotton hair turban style towl.  I sit and watch tv or do chores for about an hour, then I take my hair out of the towel and let it air dry for about an hour until it's 70% dry.  Once my hair is slightly damp, I do a rough blow dry for about 10 minutes with a standard blow dryer, tousling the hair in my hands to create texture. After the roughdry to the point where my hair is let's say, 80% dry, I do a round brush blow out to enhance the volume and then I finish with hair spray.  

    Have you triedthe air dry method of using curling products and letting your hair air dry? I really like Aquage curl definig cream or Burmle and Bumble curl defining cream- this way it gives your arms and shoulders a break from blow drying and your hair a break from heat.  Wavy thick hair can be a hassle to dry, so I can relate! I hope this helps

Turbi towels from QVC are fantastic. You don't know what you're missing until you use them!

@I am still oxox   Sounds like you're already very well versed in honoring and enhancing your pretty waves in your hair .  The curly girl method is great and microfiber towels are a game changer- it used to take my hair hours and hours to air dry before I discovered them!

@I am still oxox  Absolutely ! And its nice that you're able to wash your hair and style it- I have gal pals who have varying levels of mobility/disability and some style their hair, others pay for a blow out and some let their hair air dry.  Waves can have a mind of their own- sometimes my waves are really tight and other times they're loose.  I have a lot of texture to my hair and the bottom layer of my hair is coarser with more curl and the top layer has an S-wave pattern. I get frizz all over if there's even the slightest bit of humidity.  Wavy hair is definitely a journey!
