How to keep your hair curly overnight

Want to wake up with beautiful shiny curls? Here are some of the best tips by experts that will help you accomplish just that.

Pre-poo and shampoo the right way 

Pre-pooing is prepping your curls before washing. You can use a hydrating hair mask or a natural hair oil to do so. Look for hair masks with nourishing ingredients such as Shea butter and Argan Oil. If you prefer using an oil instead, go for hair oils such as Coconut oil that are loaded with proteins. Once you pre-poo your hair, it’s shampoo time! Stay away from chemical laden products and look out for shampoos that feature natural ingredients such as Aloe vera gel and Moroccan oil.

Condition, condition, condition 

Say no to conditioners featuring damaging chemicals such as Sulfates and Alcohols. Instead, opt for conditioners with smoothing ingredients such as Biotin, Clay, proteins etc.

Dry it with caution

Improper drying methods can wreak havoc on your hair and cause immense frizz and damage. Our suggestion? Try diffusing! You can use a good quality diffuser for this!

Why is it important to choose the right hairstyle for your face shape? 

Who doesn't like a hot shower after a long day's work? Sounds relaxing! But the effort of thoroughly drying your curls before you sleep seems too much sometimes. We have all been there.  However, sleeping with wet curls is a big no-no. Here are the reasons why. 

• Curls are fragile when wet. It can't be denied that your hair is at its most fragile when it is wet. It is also likely to get damaged when you have just gotten out of the shower. This can cause breakages to your hair. Not to mention a load of frizz! 

• Excessive moisture can weight down your curls. Even though it is commonly believed the more moisturized your hair, the better, there can be a thing as too much moisture. Depending upon how porous your curls are, chances are that if they retain excessive moisture and dampness, they will weigh down. This results in limp and lifeless looking curls that are difficult to deal with. 

• It can lead to dandruff. Believe it or not, the hot damp environment of wet hair is the perfect host for dandruff causing bacteria. We all know how excruciating dandruff can be to get rid of!

Sleep routine for curls: the silk pillowcase

Can we let you in on the curly hair experts’ best kept secret for getting those flawless looking natural curls? Use a silk pillowcase! Switching to a silk pillowcase can breathe new life into your curls and here’s why: 

• They don’t retain as much moisture. We all love cotton. It is soft and absorbent. However, a cotton pillowcase will also absorb the natural oils and moisture from your hair. This can lead to dryness and frizzy hair. A silk pillowcase on the other hand doesn’t absorb as much moisture as a cotton case. This results in much more defined curls when you wake up! 

• They don’t cause friction. The surface of silk is the smoothest thing ever! Silk pillowcases are sleeker and more even than cotton pillowcases. This causes less friction as you sleep. Less friction= less breakages. Also, tangle free curls in the morning!

• They provide better temperature control. Silk tends to absorb less heat than cotton and hence are better for regulating temperatures as you sleep. The less heat your pillowcase absorbs, the better protected your curls are.
