You can take care of your hair at night as well, protecting it from damage and providing nourishment. Check out how to do it!
The night life of hair
During sleep, many processes take place in our bodies that we are often unaware of. Many of them take place in the scalp, making hair repair, growth and strengthening possible. Nighttime is the time when nutrient absorption is best and most intense.
How to take care of your hair while you sleep?
Few women realize the importance of evening hair care. We skip our hair care routine before bed because we nourish and repair our strands during the day. However, it would be a shame to waste all the efforts we make every day because of a lack of hair protection at night.
You should know a few rules that will protect your hair from the various dangers lurking at night:
- Don't go to bed with wet hair, because then it is more susceptible to damage.
- Think of an overnight hairstyle that won't leave your hair tangled.
- Apply hair oil for extra protection.
How you should tie up your hair to sleep
Sleeping with your hair loose is much safer if you have short hair. With long ones, leaving them loose overnight can lead to damage, breakage or even thinning. On the other hand, this solution has some advantages - the skin rests, regenerates and cleanses when the hair is not tied up tightly. In addition, airflow is increased.
With long hair, hairdressers strongly advise sleeping with your hair tied up, because in this way you prevent damage to the hair. The result is smoother, less frizzy and damage-free hair.
Best bedtime hairstyles
The right hairstyle for nighttime needs to be loose enough not to weaken your hair follicles and cause a feeling of pressure.
The most popular hairstyles for sleeping that are sure to make you feel comfortable and protect your hair are:
- a high, loose bun on the top of the head- try not to break the hair too much. Gently twist it around its axis, then braid it with a fine elastic band. To prevent the bun from crushing you at night, it is best to pin your hair very high, right in the middle of your head (at the crown).
- loose braid- before making the hairstyle, comb your hair with a brush, preferably with natural bristles. You can tie the end of the braid with a silk ribbon or rubber band without a metal element. Before tying, you can protect the very ends of your hair with oi
The above hairstyles, are also a good way to add volume and curls or waves without the need for heat styling tools.
How to improve the condition of hair while sleeping?
The simplest way is to provide adequate nutrients, which are essential for regeneration. Protection from damage is important, but not the most important. That's why you should apply an oil treatment to your hair before you go to bed.
- Wet your hair with water.
- Apply oil to them
- Roll your hair into a bun
- Go to sleep, and in the morning....
- Wash your hair and you're done
Oiling not only protects hair from moisture loss and damage, but also nourishes and strengthens. The omega fatty acids, vitamins, phytosterols and other strengthening substances in natural oils penetrate the hair and its roots while we sleep. Oils left on the hair for several hours have more time to be absorbed, weigh less and form a protective layer that protects strands from mechanical damage.
