Hair and sleep: why does night play a key role in their health?

Did you know? Sleep is a key moment in the regeneration of curly hair! 👩🏻‍🦱At night, your hair doesn't really sleep! 🌙

While you rest, your hair keeps undergoing friction, moisture loss and sometimes even breakage. That's why it's essential to adopt the right habits before bed to protect it and maximize its health.

Of course, quality sleep also contributes to beautiful hair by supporting cell renewal and growth. But beyond rest, a good nighttime routine helps preserve hydration, prevent frizz and limit breakage.

In this article, discover how to take care of your curls even at night! 

Although night is made for resting, it's no excuse to neglect your hair.

And yes, you need to think about your hair routine at night too! 😉

Simple habits can make all the difference while you sleep. Here’s what you can do to protect your curly hair at night: 

Tying your hair in bantu knots, loose braids or a pineapple bun limits friction against the pillow and prevents knots from forming. A simple trick for waking up with better-defined, less tangled curls!

You can apply treatments and natural oils before your hairstyle to further limit breakage and soothe the scalp.

Before tying your hair up, apply a leave-in treatment such as the Hair Milk or the Nourishing Smoothie to limit breakage and nourish your lengths. 

• Satin pillowcase

There is nothing better to protect your hair fiber than choosing soft materials that limit friction, preserve hydration and reduce breakage during the night.

It starts above all with your choice of pillowcase: unlike cotton, which absorbs moisture and can make hair drier and more tangled, satin or silk lets curls glide gently and retain all their hydration.

• Satin bonnet

It's the must-have accessory when you have textured hair!

A satin bonnet protects your hair from excessive friction and preserves the shape of your curls for flawless hair when you wake up.

You can also wear it over your protective style to maximize its protection!

Before going to sleep, take a few minutes to massage your scalp with the Jia Paris Stimulating Brush. This step boosts blood circulation, helps deliver nutrients to the roots, soothes the scalp and optimizes growth.

For even more benefits, use the Growth Lotion or the 3-in-1 Oil Synergy before the massage. 🥰

In addition to the right habits to adopt, there are some to avoid at night, as they can damage your hair while you sleep.

Here are the common mistakes to banish from your routine at all costs: 

Going to bed with still-damp hair is a common mistake that can weaken the hair fibre.

Why?

Trapped moisture encourages bacteria to multiply on the pillow and can make the scalp more prone to itching and irritation. What’s more, hair is more vulnerable when wet: it tangles more easily and is likely to break under nighttime friction.

So it is essential to dry it properly before going to bed! 

Tying your hair up before bed is a good habit, as long as you use the right accessories. Classic hair ties with a metal clasp or that are too tight can put excessive tension on the hair fiber, leading to premature breakage and unwanted marks when you wake up.

Opt for satin scrunchies, metal-free or spiral hair ties! 

Protective hairstyles are essential, but if they are too tight, they can weaken the hair fiber and cause tension on the scalp. Opt for soft hair ties, such as a satin scrunchie.

Curly hair tends to dehydrate quickly. If you do nothing before going to bed, you risk waking up with dry, dull curls. A light treatment such as a leave-in or a serum can make all the difference.

By avoiding these mistakes, you give your hair the best conditions to stay healthy and keep all its beauty! ✨🌿

For curls in top shape when you wake up, adopt these simple steps every evening:

1️⃣ Hydrate and nourish your hair
Before bed, apply a Leave-In or leave-in treatment to your lengths and ends. This deeply hydrates the hair fiber and prevents overnight dryness.

2️⃣ Give a deep treatment (1 to 2 times a week)
If your hair needs a boost, leave a mask on overnight. It will deeply nourish your curls and restore their suppleness and vitality by morning!

3️⃣ Seal in hydration and define curls
Add a few drops of Curl Defining Serum to protect your lengths and lock in hydration. This step also reduces frizz and helps keep curls well shaped.

4️⃣ Protect your hair with a suitable hairstyle
Tie your hair in a pineapple bun, twists or loose braids to limit friction and prevent breakage.

5️⃣ Sleep on a soft fabric
Choose a satin pillowcase or wear a satin bonnet to protect your curls, avoid knots and keep hydration in all night.

6️⃣ Nourish your hair from within

Alongside your hair routine, take your dose of the Volume and Growth Course every evening. Formulated with essential nutrients such as omega-3, vitamin A, biotin and zinc, it helps strengthen the hair fibre, promote growth and improve hair thickness and shine.

With this simple routine, your hair will be protected and nourished, for bouncy curls full of vitality from the moment you wake up! 💛

Conclusion

Caring for your curly hair doesn't stop once night falls!

By adopting the right habits before bed, you give them optimal protection against breakage, frizz and dryness. A well-thought-out nighttime hair routine, combined with suitable accessories like satin and hydrating treatments, will help you keep defined, soft and healthy curls when you wake up.
