I love Slip’s silk scrunchies but I’ve recently become an Invisibobble convert — they have amazing grip for curly or wavy hair and they don’t slip out overnight. (They also don’t damage your hair.) Either of these are solid options.

When You Really Want Good Hair, Get a Blowout

I like to reserve this for special occasions, but when I really want my hair to look great for a few days (think going away for a weekend or a special event), I like to go to the salon for a professional blow dry.

No matter how I style my hair at home, it never lasts as long as a professional blow-dry does. If I get a blow dry and sleep with my hair in a silk scrunchie, I can get a solid 4-5 days of perfect hair (I just dry shampoo in the mornings). Definitely something to consider for any vacations or events coming up!

Overnight Treatment

This isn’t so much a tip to wake up with perfect hair as you need to rinse in the morning, but it is a great tip for improving your hair while you sleep.

Every few weeks, try sleeping with an overnight treatment in your hair. My favorite is Olaplex #3. I get my hair wet, apply the Olaplex, then put my hair in a bun and sleep. The bun is key because you want your hair to stay damp overnight. (Olaplex penetrates best on damp hair). You can also use a shower cap or microfiber wrap for this.

If you have time to wash your hair in the mornings, I definitely recommend this to make your hair even better while you sleep!
