Simply don t go to sleep without prepping your hair.

My hair mats when i sleep.

Yes any texture of hair can experience tangles but kinky type 4 hair is just one knot away from being a dreadlock because our kinks and curls are drawn to each other like rihanna is to a tattoo. If you are a restless sleeper and move your head about in the night you are rubbing your hair against the fibers of the bedding and are likely roughing up the cuticle of the hair which leads to the hairs catching on one another and knotting tangling and matting together. It sounds as though your hair could benefit from the use of a sleeping cap or a silk satin pillowcase. If you do choose to style your hair overnight a texturizing spray is an excellent idea.

Spoolies curlers can make your hair wavy or curly overnight without using any heat at all. This is a good first step to prevent damage while sleeping. 2 apply an oil treatment or hair mask if you plan wash your hair in the morning. I almost felt like both took more moisture out of my hair than there was.

Double strength super gro with vitamin e sage sulfur and coconut oil at some point. The very next morning don t get your hair wet or shower. Protect your hair while you sleep. Speaking of sleeping did you know that hair can also get tangled while you sleep.

To combat this we recommend to loosely braid your hair and tie it with a scrunchie before sleeping or tie your hair up in a loose bun. You can now sleep your way to curly voluminous sexy hair. One big braid or a bunch of small ones are both equally effective for this strategy. Okay yeah you could go to sleep with your hair just hanging out but i really don t suggest this method for kinky girls with hair longer than a twa.

Okay before anyone goes on an extremely long and unneeded rant i m not african american i m caucasian so i don t want to read any you need to oil your hair better and wash it less i used bronner bros. Wrap your hair in a silk scarf or gentle fabric to keep the oil off your pillow covers and let the treatment do its magic while you sleep. So how can you avoid waking up with matted hair. I have also used olive oil.

Keeping your hair in braids while you sleep is an easy way to prevent tangles from forming.
