How to Not Have Tangly Hair in the Morning
Unless you remain perfectly still all night, your hair can easily become tangled as you sleep. The movement of your head in addition to the pressure placed on your head during the night can leave your hair a knotted, tangled mess when you awake in the morning. If your hair is tangled when you wake up, the length of time it takes to get ready for the day increases. If you can prevent your hair from tangling while you sleep, you can reduce the amount of time you need each morning. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Brush your hair thoroughly before going to bed. Throughout the course of the day, your hair may become slightly tangled or mussed. If you don't remedy these smaller issues, they will become worse as you sleep.

2
Braid your hair into a loose braid if it is long enough. Unlike a ponytail, a braid will hold the length of your hair in place, while being loose enough not to damage your hair. Secure the end of the braid with an elastic band wrapped tightly enough that it will not fall out as you sleep.

Use a silk pillowcase on your pillow so your hair won't snag on it when you move. A cotton or flannel pillowcase can also add static to your hair, which contributes to tangling.

Tuck your hair up into a sleeping cap to keep it in one place on your head. When you move your head around, the hair will remain in the cap and will not tangle.
