Discovering how to care for your curls while you sleep is just as crucial as your nighttime skincare regimen. The burning question remains: How can you maintain those gorgeous curls and keep your frizz-free style intact until the next day, and beyond? Fear not, we’ve got you covered. By following these tips alongside your nighttime routine, your curls will greet you with gratitude come morning.
1. Hydrate Your Curls:
Treat your curls to a final hydration boost before bed, akin to the last step in your skincare routine. Just as you might use a night-time recovery cream for your skin, your hair also deserves some love. Lightly applying an oil, like Citrus Superfruit Radiance Oil, will shield your strands and lock in moisture. Additionally, nurturing your hair and scalp is essential. Consider Coconut Mint Scalp Refresh Mist to replenish and soothe your scalp while indulging in a relaxing head massage.
2. Gentle Scrunchies:
Safeguard your hair and preserve your style overnight with a satin scrunchie. Create a pineapple by gathering your hair atop your head and securing it with a scrunchie. Soft Scrunchies are ideal for maintaining your curls without causing frizz or breakage, ensuring your natural curl pattern remains intact.
3. Pineapple It Up:
Embrace the pineapple method—a staple in the curly hair community. A loose pineapple, secured with a scrunchie, will help maintain your style overnight. Remember, keep it loose to avoid leaving dents in your curls. If pineappling isn’t your preference, opt for twists or simply sleep on a silk pillowcase to keep your curls hydrated and protected.
4. Night Protection:
Protect your curls from the perils of cotton pillowcases by sleeping on a silk pillowcase or covering your hair with a silk bonnet or headscarf. The smooth fabric minimises friction, tangling, and breakage, ensuring your curls remain unscathed throughout the night. For added protection, consider layering a silk bonnet.
How to Refresh Your Curls the Next Day:
Reviving your curls after a restful night’s sleep is a breeze:
1. Gently shake out your hair to allow your curls to fall naturally.
2. Use a pick or comb to tease out your curls gently, providing added volume without force.
3. If needed, spritz your curls with Rose Water Curl Mist to awaken them and tame any stray curls or frizz. For definition, reach for our Sweet Hibiscus Curl Defining Gel, or opt for our Sweet Hibiscus Curl Activating Lotion for a softer hold and reactivated curls.
