Take care of your hair at night

We often take the time to take care of our hair in the morning: shampoo, treatment, styling... But at night, we forget about it a little too often! However, while we sleep, our hair is not immune to aggression. Repeated friction on the pillow, poorly prepared hair, poorly chosen pillowcase... so many small gestures that can damage our hair fiber without us realizing it.

Fortunately, there are some simple things you can do before bed to keep your hair healthy and beautiful. Discover our tips for preventing breakage overnight and keeping your hair soft, shiny, and in great shape.

Why does hair get damaged overnight?

At night, our hair is subjected to many invisible aggressions. When we move during our sleep, repeated friction against the pillowcase can weaken the hair fiber, especially if it is already weakened by coloring, hair dryers, or the sun. Result:dry ends, breakage in the lengths and hair that loses its vitality.

Another common mistake: going to bed with wet hair. This may seem trivial, but damp hair is more elastic, and therefore more vulnerable. The slightest friction can then cause micro-breakages and promoteknot formation.

Good news: a few simple steps can help prevent this nighttime damage. Here are our top tips for taking care of your hair while you sleep.

Brush your hair every night before going to sleep

The first step to take is evening brushing. This ritual not only removes knots, but alsodistribute natural sebum from roots to endsA key step to naturally hydrate your lengths and rid them of impurities accumulated during the day (dust, pollution residue, etc.).

To do this, it is essential to choose a brush suited to your hair type:

Fine or dry hair: choose a brush with boar bristles and nylon pins. Boar bristles provide softness, shine, and are gentle on the hair fiber.
Thick hair or hair that tends to get greasy quickly:prefer a brush with nylon bristles, which effectively detangles even the thickest hair without breaking it.

In addition to untangling them,Brushing stimulates blood circulation in the scalp, thus promoting growth.

Adopt a protective hairstyle for the night

Leaving your hair completely down overnight isn't always the best idea. To prevent it from tangling, breaking, or becoming dull, it's best to opt for a protective style before going to sleep.

Our ideas for soft hairstyles for the night:

A soft braid, not too tight, to limit friction without marking the hair.
A high, loose bun at the top of the head, held in place with a ribbon or soft scrunchie (avoid traditional elastics that break the hair).
The Kardoune, a traditional silk ribbon from the Maghreb, which is wrapped around the lengths to protect the hair, prevent frizz and smooth it naturally.

These hairstyles protect your lengths while allowing the scalp to breathe. We recommend oursilk scrunchie, which allow hair to be held without damaging it.

As you've probably guessed, beautiful hair doesn't just depend on the care you apply during the day. Your hair needs attention at night, too. By adopting the right habits, you can limit damage, preserve the moisture in your hair fiber, and promote healthy, regular growth.

Give your hair the care it deserves, even while you sleep. Because after all, beauty… starts at night!
