Beauty Sleep Secrets for Curly Hair πβ¨
T-Shirt Plopping & Micro Plopping π½
First off, let’s talk about the art of plopping with a T-shirt. It’s not just for drying your hair; it’s a comfy way to keep those curls defined while you catch some Z’s. Simply lay a T-shirt flat, flip your curls over onto it, and wrap it up like a turban. This method is fab for reducing moisture without causing frββceγ.
Pineapple and Medusa Clipping π
Ah, the classic pineapple! Flip your hair into a high, loose ponytail at the top of your head. But wait, there’s more – if you’ve got long hair or short locks that can’t quite make the pineapple cut, try Medusa clipping. It’s all about strategically placing those curls with clips to keep them from getting squiββrceγ.
French Braids & Bantu Knots π
For a bit of a stretch (without compromising those curl patterns), French braid your hair before bed. And for my girls with a love for protective styles, Bantu knots are a quick and easy way to keep those curls in check. No need for perfect parts; just twist anββurceγ.
Silk Pillowcases & Scarves π
Let’s not forget about the wonders of silk and satin. Swap out that cotton pillowcase for a silk one to keep moisture locked in and frizz at bay. And if you really want to up your game, wrap your hair in a silk scarf or bonnet for that extra layer of protββββourceγ.
