Don’t you just love crawling into your comfy bed at the end of a long day? One of the last things we want to think about before heading to dreamland is our curls. However, if we don’t, we might wake up with a mess to manage. Instead of always waking up with flattened frizz, we think you should wake up with beautiful curls that just need some touch ups. Here’s how to sleep your way to amazing curls. Give these tips a try, and let us know if it works for you!
How To Sleep Your Way To Amazing Curls
Pineapple:
This is one of the quickest and easiest ways to protect curls during sleep. Before hitting the hay, flip your hair over and gather your curls up on top of your head. Gather the curls close to the scalp, and gently twist. Tie with a scrunchie or cloth band, rather than an elastic to avoid hair tie lines. The scrunchie should be tied loosely to avoid breaking your strands.
Bun:
Pineappling doesn’t always work for those with shorter hair, so instead you could opt for a bun. This easy protective style will keep the curls inside the bun from becoming crushed, so you’ll still get some longevity from your styles.
Braid:
Is there anything easier than putting your curls into a quick braid before bed? This style may not work great for every curly girl, but is effective for those with long hair or wavy curls. Not only are curls protected and held together, it helps keep knots and tangles to a minimum. When you undo the braid in the morning, your curls will be encouraged to stay in place.
