: For me it only takes a few hours in the evening.
Depends on humidity but lately my hair is dry within an hour.
: ...anywhere from 2 hours to 2 or 3 days to air dry.
Two or three DAYS?!

Elspeth, dancingbarefoot, and Jennifer Eve mentioned those multiple day dampness times due to hair in a braid or updo, not loose and left out to air exposure. I am familiar with Jennifer's hair and can say her 69 inch hair (measured from the front hairline to her tippy ends at the lower calf) has a diameter similar to a grapefruit when in a bun. There is no way air is going to circulate through that enough to dry it completely.

A few hours in the morning... then when it's like 60-75% dry, I blowdry it the rest of the way to give it a little more body/shine.

HOURS & HOURS on some days. And when I make a tail,
the tip is usually the last part to dry.
Loose hair on a dry day is usually the fastest way to dry it...
that is, if you do not use a hair dryer.

Depends on the temperature

In the winter, if I don't run the heater, the indoor temperature will be 55-65 degrees F and my hair will still be damp half a day after I wash it. In the summer when the indoor temperature is 85-95 degrees F, it will dry in an hour.

: I was reading around on various sites with people saying their hair can take anywhere from 2 hours to 2 or 3 days to air dry.
: I was wondering how long it takes everyone?
: For me it only takes a few hours in the evening.
Without using a hair dryer on low heat setting maybe 8 hours in cool conditions and 2 or so if it is warm. Absalom

about 2 to 3 hours is what it takes mine when I dont use the leave in. When I do it sometimes takes about 12 hours to completely dry, thats if I dont comb it while its drying. When I tie it back it can take a little longer sometimes too.

A little bit over an hour. My hair is curly and it is always down. I can see how straight hair or hair tied up wouldn't get the ventilation mine does and would take much longer.
