Sleep is an opportunity to rejuvenate not just the body but also the hair. Think about it, while you are sleeping, your hair can be quietly repaired and by morning may also become even softer, shinier, and healthier.
Getting good hair is not that difficult; what you simply need to do is to adapt some smart hair care tricks before going to bed. If your hair usually looks tangled, lifeless, or frizzy when you wake up in the morning, this may be about to end. Let us tell you how.
Cotton pillowcases absorb moisture from your hair, and the friction alone can cause more frizz, tangles, and breakages, while silk or satin ones don't; instead, they retain natural oils within the hair and reduce friction. This not only reduces bedhead but also leaves your hair feeling smoother and shinier.
Sleeping with your hair loose at night can easily cause tangles and breakage. Wearing a loose braid, pineapple bun, or wrapping it in a silk scarf reduces stress on your hair and protects your strands. Furthermore, naturally formed waves or curls are a bonus when you wake up in the morning.

Wet hair is the most fragile and prone to breakage due to friction during sleep. Therefore, try to dry your hair thoroughly before going to bed. If you must, and your hair is slightly damp, lightly braid it and use a microfiber towel or turban. Additionally, use the cool air setting on your hair dryer to prevent heat damage.
Combing at night helps spread the scalp's natural oils down into the hair. Using a wide-tooth comb helps keep hair moisturized and less prone to tangles. This significantly reduces breakage and frizz in the morning.
Applying a leave-in conditioner or overnight mask at night can be incredibly beneficial for dry, damaged, or color-treated hair. These products ensure deep hydration, repair, and strengthen hair-all without leaving oil on hair. Remember to apply the product from mid-lengths to ends, then cover your hair with a shower cap or silk scarf. This will leave you feeling softer after washing your hair in the morning.
