Sleep Better, Wake Up with Better Curls

What happens while you sleep directly impacts your next-day curl situation. Here's how to wake up ready to go.

The Pineapple Method

Gather your hair into a very loose, high ponytail on top of your head. Use a silk scrunchie—never regular elastics. This keeps curls from being crushed while you sleep.

The Medusa Method

For tighter curls, try multiple small, loose buns all over your head. Clip each with a silk scrunchie. It looks silly, but your curls will thank you.

Silk or Satin: Non-Negotiable

Cotton absorbs moisture and creates friction. Every night on a cotton pillowcase strips oils from your hair and causes frizz. Choose:

• Silk pillowcase: Luxury option, stays cool
• Satin pillowcase: Budget-friendly, same benefits
• Silk bonnet: Complete protection, moves with you
• Buff or satin scarf: Wraps securely, protects edges

Refresh Without Rewashing

Morning routine: lightly mist with water and conditioner mix, scrunch, and go. Don't rewet completely—just reactivate the products already in your hair.
