A very common doubt is knowing how to fix your hair at bedtime. Many women don't mind sleeping with loose strands, but others prefer to tie the locks for fear of tangles or waking up with messy hair. After all, which one is right? Is pulling your hair bad? Learn more here at Stay Diva!

It's best to sleep with your hair down

If you're one of those people who can't see an elastic that you want to tie your hair in, then it's good to give your hair a break at bedtime. It's just that tight accessories and friction with the pillow can cause breakage and weaken the highlights.

It is best to sleep with loose hair and keep treatments up to date to avoid knots and dryness. Also, if you have straight hair, it's worth brushing your locks before bed. If combing your hair is not an option, a good tip is to apply a little oil to your hair to make it more manageable.

Loose hairstyles and caps are options for those who don't sleep with loose hair

If letting your hair down when sleeping is a pain for you, don't despair, diva! It's just that some options can help you keep the wires in place without having to resort to the usual elastic.

One of them is to bet on braids before bed. The hairstyle is recommended for those with very long strands or who like a more wavy effect the next day. But be careful: it's to make the braids very loose, ok? Another alternative is to invest in a stocking cap, those that mothers and grandmothers used to wear a lot. The accessory keeps the wires aligned without squeezing.

Dry your hair well before bed

Worse than sleeping with your hair tied up is trapping your locks and not drying them completely. This habit can cause fungus, scalp itchiness and even damage the wires, leaving them very brittle.

So, before going to bed, make sure your hair is completely dry. If it's too late for them to dry naturally, you can resort to heat tools. Just don't forget to apply a thermal protector to protect the wires from high temperatures, agreed?
