Read on to learn the only steps you really need for your night time hair routine, plus tips on how you can prevent breakage while you rest:
Your Simple Night Hair Routine
1. Moisturize hair if needed.
After daily styling or even dry weather conditions, your hair could be left feeling dry and limp after a long day. To re-moisturize you can apply your favorite leave-in conditioner to add moisture back into your hair, then brush through to detangle. One of our go-to hair products to use is Love Beauty and Planet Smooth and Serene Argan Oil & Lavender Leave-In Smoothie Cream. On natural hair types, we suggest following this step with applying an oil to lock in the moisture added from your leave-in conditioner.
2. Preserve your style.
There’s a method for preserving any style you can name. Finding the right strategy for your hairstyle can save you lots of time the next day. If you’re wearing your hair in a curly style, pin curl, create a pineapple, or use soft rollers to keep your curls intact. If you’re wearing a wavy style, opt for sleeping in a loose bun to help preserve your waves. Alternatively you can spray hair with a salt spray like Bed Head By TIGI Queen Beach Salt Infused Texture Spray braid hair at night to maintain defined wavy styles.
3. Sleep on a silk pillowcase.
There’s nothing like sleeping on a cool pillowcase. A silk pillowcase will also help take care of your hair while you’re counting sheep. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase will help prevent dry, tangled, and matted hair.
