How to Avoid Tangled Hair While Asleep

Roll out of bed with tangle-free hair.

If you're tired of devoting the bulk of your morning routine to untangling your hair, you're in luck. There are a number of simple measures you can take before going to sleep to ensure that you wake up with a tangle-free head of hair. You can free up a substantial amount of time in the morning by taking preventative measures against tangled, unruly locks.

Things You'll Need

• Hairbrush
• Silk nightcap

Instructions

1. Shampoo and condition your hair before going to sleep. This will cleanse your hair of any styling products and make it more relaxed. Follow this up by blotting your hair dry with a towel.

2. Give your hair a thorough brushing. Sleeping tangled hair will make it worse.

3. Go to sleep wearing a silk nightcap. The cap will limit your hair's movement throughout the night and the silk will provide your locks with a smooth surface to rest on.

4. Braid your hair. If you're not crazy about wearing a nightcap, braiding your hair is another convenient way to limit its movement while you sleep.

5. Rest your head on a satin pillowcase. Much like satin nightcaps, satin pillowcases help prevent overnight tangles by giving your scalp a smooth, comfortable sleep surface.
