Ladies learn how to take care of your hair at night

How to care for your hair at nighttime:
You might be meticulous about your hair
during the daytime hours, but do little to
take care of your hair while asleep. As you
toss and turn overnight, your hair cuticles get
roughened up by rubbing on pillowcases --
and you get that just-woke-up look in the
morning. A tight ponytail at nighttime can
also tear at your hair. Make nighttime a
restorative part of your hair-care routine so
your morning 'do is not a don't.

Step 1
Invest in a silk scarf or silk pillowcases,
which are less abrasive to your hair than
traditional cotton pillowcases. When you toss
and turn, silk allows your hair to slide across
the pillow for less fraying and frizz. Or wrap
your hair in a silk scarf before bed to protect
it from rubbing and keep your hair firmly in
place while you sleep, no matter how much
you move around.

Step 2
Tie up your hair with a soft hair tie if you
prefer to sleep in a ponytail. Tight hair ties
with metal pieces can tear at your hair
throughout the night, and create pull around
your forehead. Instead, use a soft scrunchy
or bandanna to keep your hair out of your
face at night. You'll also avoid the annoying
hair creases from tight elastics when you
wake up.

Step 3
Wash your hair and enjoy a daily shower at
night. Your hair will dry overnight and
negate the need for heated styling tools in
the morning that can damage your hair. If
you don't like the way your hair dries
naturally, comb through a gel or mousse and
braiding your hair loosely. In the morning,
you'll have soft and healthy waves.

Step 4
Apply a small amount of oil to the ends of
your hair before you go to bed at night. Use
hair oil purchased from a drugstore, or
mineral or olive oil. The ends of your hair
tend to be drier that your roots, so a little
extra moisture before bed can keep them
looking smooth and shiny.
