Curly hair is beautiful and brings a lot of charm and personality, however, many times when waking up it is without definition and even lifeless. To have perfect curls when you wake up, you need special care. Here are five tips that will help you have defined and healthy curls, even after a night’s sleep:
- Sleep with a high bun: Sleeping with a high bun (pineapple bun) will prevent your curls from being crumpled during the night as the length of your hair will be mostly off the weight of your head.
- Wear a satin pillowcase: Wearing a satin pillowcase to bed is another option, as it allows your hair to glide smoothly on the pillow, preventing friction. Some people prefer a satin cap to a pillowcase. Both have the function of reducing friction.
- Choose the right products: Choosing the right products for curly hair (free of sulfate, silicones, mineral oil and parabens) is as important as the way you sleep. Specific products for curls, such as shampoos, moisturizers and curl curlers, help maintain the shape of the curls during the night. Avoid using pure oils, as they bring problems to the hair in the medium to long term.
- Make some adjustments when you wake up: With a simple spray, you can have more defined and beautiful curls the next day. To do it, just mix 200 ml of water with two spoons of styling cream or conditioner and spray it on your hair. Massage it from the ends to the root and adjust the crumpled or frizzy parts. You will see that this is enough so that you don’t need to wash your hair every day.
- Hydration: Keep your hair hydrated so that it stays healthy and defined. Invest in regular hydration and moisturizing products for curly hair.
Now you know: having perfect curls when you wake up is possible by following these five simple tips. With this care, you can have healthy and defined curls at all times.
