Learn how to keep your hair straight overnight with our 5 top tips
Tip 1: Avoid hairbands
As tempting as it might be to tie your hair up into a ponytail or bun – don’t. We suggest avoiding hairbands or tying your hair up at night because it’ll leave dents in your poker-straight hair – not to mention it’ll add extra prep time to your morning routine. So, ditch your bedtime updos if you want to master how to keep your hair straight overnight and ready for the morning!
Tip 2: Use dry shampoo
This tip is great for ladies who suffer from greasy hair. Before going to bed, try spritzing your hair with some dry shampoo. Sounds crazy, right? But we’re serious, this miracle hair product will help absorb any excess oil and sweat overnight. And not only that, it’ll also help make your straight hairstyle last longer, plus you’ll wake up with beautiful, clean-feeling hair!
Why not try the TRESemmé Instant Refresh Translucent Dry Shampoo (£3.99*)? Just concentrate the dry shampoo application towards your roots to instantly refresh your locks! And don’t panic, with this dry shampoo, there’s no annoying white residue – so you won’t have to spend time brushing it out in the morning.
Psst! Don’t forget to see how to use dry shampoo for the most effective results.
Tip 3: Try a hair oil
Ok, we know this sounds like the opposite of the tip above, but this one is for ladies with straightened black hair or dry hair sufferers. Try applying a couple of pumps of a lightweight hair oil, such as TRESemmé Oleo Radiance Oil Elixir (£6.99*), to help keep your hair feeling supple and nourished. Plus, it’ll help fight frizz, too. But do try and avoid any water-based hair products, like spray leave-ins, as this will instantly kink up your straight tresses!
Tip 4: Wrap your hair around your head
If you’re trying to boycott hairbands, you’re probably wondering what hairstyle is safe for keeping your hair straight overnight. Don’t worry, we have an easy solution to the matter. Just carefully comb your tresses to one side, then sweep it all the way around, wrapping it around your head and using bobby pins to secure your hair in place. Unlike hairbands, pins will ensure that your hair doesn’t get any kinks during the night!
Tip 5: Use a silk scarf
Now you’ve wrapped your hair around your head, it’s time to finish getting ready for bed. The best way to protect your hair while you sleep is to cover it using a silk scarf. Why? Because this will not only help keep your hair neatly wrapped around your head all night, but because silk is super smooth, it will cause less frizz-inducing friction to your tresses than your cotton pillowcase!
So, now you can wake up with gorgeously straight hair without having to re-do your ‘do. You’re welcome!
