13 TIPS FOR BETTER HAIR WHILE YOU SLEEP

Flawless hair doesn’t have to be a chore. Beautify while your sleep with these 13 super easy tips.

 

SPLURGE ON A SATIN PILLOW CASE   This is one investment that will make a huge difference in your hair health. Smooth satin doesn’t catch and pull your hair as much when you toss and turn at night, eliminating bed head and split ends.

DON’T SLEEP WITH WET HAIR   Going to bed with wet or just-dried hair is a hair care no-no. It ruins any chance of having a good hair day in the morning. Dry your hair well before you hit the rack.  If you like to let your hair air dry, consider showering earlier in the day.

BRAIDS ARE A GIRL’S BEST FRIEND   This is a hair trick that has been around for decades. If you want bouncy, heatless, beach waves the next day, add braiding your hair to your nightly routine.  Experiment with the number and size of braids to get your perfect beach babe look.

SAY YES TO A SCALP MASSAGE   Gently massaging your scalp can stimulate hair growth. Don’t worry, there’s no need to empty your wallet on a fancy spa, you can do it yourself!

APPLY OIL   If you have dry hair, especially near the ends, don’t panic. Oil to the rescue! Apply a nickel size amount of good quality hair oil, usually something with argan, to your ends before you get your beauty sleep.  Give the oil plenty of time to work its magic in order to wake up flawless. Even Beyonce will be jealous.

BED BUN   Styling your hair in a high bun is another way to get beautiful waves with minimal effort. Use a scrunchy to secure your topknot, instead of an elastic, to avoid awkward hair creases.

PINEAPPLING   If you have natural hair, you know too well that the struggle is sometimes very real. To wake up with intact, springy curls all you need is a silk scarf.  Gather your hair at the top of your head and tie a silk scarf around the base. This is called pineappling because the top of your head will kind of look like a pineapple.

COCONUT OIL TREATMENT   Your hair deserves a little pampering every now and then. Once a week give it a coconut oil treatment. Saturate your hair, from roots to end, with coconut oil and tie up in a topknot.  The next morning, wash your hair two to three times to rinse out all the oil. If you’ve never used coconut oil before you will be so amazed at how soft and silky your hair feels.

DRY SHAMPOO   Most people use dry shampoo in the morning when showering is not high on their priority list. However, if you use dry shampoo at night it looks way more natural the next day.  Spray a generous amount to your roots and go to bed. When you wake up you will have greaseless, voluminous hair. It’s really that easy!

BYE-BYE FRIZZ   Beating that unruly frizz can be easier than you think. Apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner to damp hair at night, then twist hair into a loose bun.  In the morning shake it out and marvel at your frizz-free, beautiful hair.

KEEP IT UP

Don’t let your hair down just yet. It’s actually better if you sleep with your hair up, rather than down. Whether it’s in a braid, a loose bun, or wrapped with bobby pins, you will experience less breakage with your hair secure.

BRUSH IT   You don’t have to do 100 strokes every night, sorry Grandma, but it is very beneficial to brush your hair before bed. Use a wide tooth comb to brush from the roots to the ends, gently working through knots.  This helps distribute the natural oil from your scalp throughout the rest of your hair.

GET ENOUGH BEAUTY SLEEP   Sleep is the miracle beauty drug. It helps everything from your skin to your mood, including your hair health! Give your hair plenty of time to recover from a day of wear and tear.  Shoot for at least 7 hours each night.
