THE ULTIMATE NIGHT TIME ROUTINE

• LET YOUR HAIR DOWN. You might think you’re protecting your hair when you leave it in a messy bun or high ponytail over night, but having your hair up can actually put a strain on your scalp and damage your strands. Opting for a loose braid or a low ponytail will not only protect your hair from breakage caused by rubbing your hair against your pillow, but also give you nice waves in the morning.

• NEVER SLEEP WITH WET HAIR. Since wet hair is more fragile, it is extremely important to give your hair an extra hour or two to dry before you hit the hay. That way you’ll be sure to avoid tangles and friction. If you are in a hurry, you can also use your hair dryer, but preferably on the lowest temperature setting to avoid damage from the heat.

• TREAT YOURSELF TO A NEW PILLOWCASE. If you’re thinking about upgrading your pillow case, you might want to invest in high-quality silk – your hair will thank you! Cotton pillowcases are made of coarse fibers that pull on your hair and cause friction, whereas silk is far more gentle and allows your hair to glide without roughing it up.

• USE A SLEEP CAP OR A HEAD SCARF. Wrapping your hair in a sleep cap or a silk scarf can be a great way to take your beauty sleep to the next level. Especially helpful for those suffering from hair loss, this method can prevent you from unconsciously pulling on your hair while you sleep. Not to mention, you’ll finally be able to say goodbye to waking up with frizzy hair in the morning!

• DITCH ELASTIC BANDS FOR SCRUNCHIES. Remember those scrunchies you loved to use back in the 90’s? Turns out they’re back in style and should be your first choice for pulling back your hair at night. Unlike elastic bands they do not cause stress on your hair shaft and roots.

• BRUSH YOUR HAIR BEFORE BED. Ever heard of the old myth suggesting you should brush through your hair 100 times before going to sleep? While it’s not really necessary to put in that many strokes, you should definitely brush your hair before bed. After all, you wouldn’t go to bed without brushing your teeth, right? Brushing from the roots to the ends not only leaves your locks tangle-free, but also helps distribute your scalp’s natural conditioning oil throughout the rest of your hair.

• MASSAGE YOUR SCALP. Many people focus all their efforts on their hair, while completely ignoring the health of their scalp. But you know what they say: happy scalp, healthy hair! That’s why you should always end your night-time regimen with a short head massage to stimulate blood circulation.
