If sleeping on wet hair is a habit you can’t break, do it the right way and style your hair in a loose updo that can keep it protected while you sleep. Check out three wet hairstyles you can sleep in to protect your hair and make sure it looks good upon waking.
- Braids
If you need to sleep on wet hair, at least do so with a few braids. Braiding wet hair can help to keep your strands protected and when you wake up, you’ll have gorgeous loose waves. Allow your hair to slightly dry before you start brushing and braiding it. It’s best to work with damp hair for this wet hairstyling option so the more time your hair has to dry, the better.
Braid your hair as you wish — we recommend a couple of French or Dutch braids for tighter waves and a single braid for looser ones. When you wake up, undo your braids to reveal your air-dried strands and easy heatless style.
- Space Buns
If you prefer big curls to loose waves, catch up on beauty sleep in some space buns. Allow your hair to partially dry so it’s damp and pull your hair into space buns — forming a high bun on both sides of your head.
Simply split your hair in two and twist each section around itself, forming a bun. Secure your buns into place with soft scrunchies and in the morning, let your hair down and show off those waves.
- Hair Scarf or Bonnet
A hair scarf or bonnet is only an option for wet hair when it’s damp, meaning your hair should be at least 70 percent dry (the more dry your hair is, the better). The reason is that if you wrap wet hair, it’s vulnerable, it’s not going to fully dry and it’s going to affect your natural texture.
If your hair is damp, then you can wrap your strands in a silk or satin hair scarf or bonnet before going to bed. This will prevent any friction between your strands and pillowcase and will eliminate any added frizz in the process. In the morning, you can also use the scarf to style your strands.
