Why do we love to do our hair at night? First, you can hit the snooze button on your alarm clock a few times in the morning and sleep a little more. Second, wake up with perfectly styled hair and without much effort, like in a movie.
We have five bedtime styling tips that will help you say goodbye to your hair dryer and make your mornings a little better. All you need to do is take five minutes before going to bed to do a few things to your hair. In this material, we tell you exactly which ones.
Light curls with curling iron
Even without using hot tools, a boho hairstyle with beach waves can be achieved. An ideal alternative to a curling iron are soft curlers that are comfortable to sleep in.
1. Divide your hair into two parts using a zigzag parting. This way, even if it is uneven, you won’t need to hide your parting after curling.
2. Start curling your hair while it is still slightly damp. Apply mousse or styling spray to the strands – this will make it easier for them to hold the curl shape.
3. Attach the curlers (or rather the ribbon) to your head with a crab clip and start twisting your curls from top to bottom. Wrap the strand around the headband as far away from your face as the length allows. Finally, secure the last strand with elastic bands. After that, the crab can be removed.
Eight hours of sleep – and voila! You wake up the next morning with soft curls like a Disney princess.
70s style curls
The biggest advantage of this method is that you already have everything you need in your closet. Grab a few long socks (and make sure they are tight) and treat them like curlers. The number of socks you wear will depend on the thickness of your hair and the type of curls you want to achieve.
1. Divide your hair into several parts; the more parts, the smaller the curls. Therefore, if you want voluminous and big curls like Farrah Fawcett, it will be enough to divide your hair into 4-6 parts.
2. Take a sock and align the toe parallel to the beginning of the wire. Start wrapping the string around the sock as if around a spiral. After reaching the end, secure it with a thin elastic band, twist the resulting tourniquet on your head and pull the sock over the resulting bun, hiding the hair inside (you should get a ball). Secure it with an elastic band.
3. Do the same with the other strands and untangle your hair in the morning.
Use a texturizer or volumizing spray to tame frizz.
Messy curls
It turns out that the bun is not only the ideal helper for a bad hair day, but also perhaps the easiest hairstyle to make to wake up with styling and add volume to fine hair.
1. Pull slightly damp (but not wet) hair into a ponytail and twist it into a bun.
2. Secure the resulting bun with an elastic band and go to bed.
In the morning, release your hair, tilt your head down and give your scalp a little massage. Return to the starting position and apply salt spray or styling product to the slightly messy curls. This will make your hair more firm and keep its shape longer.
Renaissance style waves
To wake up in the morning like a silky Venus from Sandro Botticelli’s paintings, all you have to do at night is braid your hair the old-fashioned way. The main rule is that the more braids, the smaller the waves. Therefore, the diameter of the curls can be changed independently.
1. Without waiting for your hair to dry completely, divide it into several parts and braid it. After that, you can go to bed.
2. In the morning, undo your braids and set them with a styling product.
And if you are asked whether the time machine has been invented, the best answer is an enigmatic smile.
Root volume with crab clip
We are sure that the crab clip hairstyles trend of the 2000s has not passed you by and you have more than enough of these accessories on your shelf. So for this method, you need the most durable and at the same time comfortable one, which will stay in your hair all night and will not interfere with your sleep.
1. Before your hair has time to dry completely, tilt your head down and collect the entire mass on top of your head. Secure the resulting braid with a crab and check that the hair does not fall out.
2. Just in case, you can tie your hair with a scarf to prevent it from getting tangled while you sleep.
After drying, the strands will rise at the roots and become voluminous and wavy.
