3 Ways to Protect Curly Hair While Sleeping

 

Instead of risking damage to your locks every time you snooze, make sleepy-time work for you. Whether you’re looking to maintain the health of your hair or hoping to repair years of damage, use any of these tips to achieve the tresses of your dreams.read after cut....

1. Satin Pillow Case

Tossing and turning on a cotton pillow case is detrimental to your hair and skin. Swap your cotton pillow case for a silky satin one. Spending 8 hours on a soft surface instead of a scratchy pillow case will preserve the delicate cuticles of your hair.

2. “The Pineapple”

Preserve twist outs and coiled curls by donning a “pineapple” before bed. This protective hairstyle is the easiest way to keep your curls bouncy and frizz-free for the next day.
Step 1: Turn your head upside down. Don’t gather your hair on top of your head—you risk breaking up your ringlets.
Step 2: Create a genie-like ponytail at the very top of your head and secure with a hair tie. You want to loosely secure your ringlets, so don’t secure it too tightly.
Step 3: Sleep on your back. If you don’t have a satin pillowcase, use a satin sleep cap to safeguard your ringlets.
Step 4: Release your curls in the morning and style as usual. You will notice less frizz and damage to your tresses.
VV Tip: Feeling lazy? Rock your pineapple as a hairstyle the next day. The style is funky and looks amazing with full curls.

3. Coconut Oil

This miracle oil does wonders to your hair in a quick 15 minute session. Work warm coconut oil into your hair, focusing on the ends, then put your hair in a bun before heading to bed. The next morning wash out the oil. Repeat the coconut oil treatment a few times a week to minimize split ends and dry tresses.
