Nighttime is where curls either thrive like tiny botanical gardens… or turn into tumbleweed. Let’s stack the odds in your favour.
The Bedtime Curl Trifecta
- Protection
- Moisture
- Zero friction
1. Choose the Right Pillowcase
Satin or silk.
Cotton is curl Kryptonite — it steals moisture and creates friction.
2. Pick the Right Sleep Style
Depending on hair type:
- Short hair: leave it loose
- Medium curls: pineapple it (high, loose pony)
- Long curls: loose braids or pigtails
- Coils: satin bonnet + light leave-in
3. Refresh Before Bed (Optional)
A light spritz of water or leave-in can reset curls before sleep.
How to “Pineapple” a Kid’s Hair
- Flip head upside down
- Gather curls gently at the crown
- Use a soft scrunchie
- Don’t wrap tightly — it should barely hold
Morning Magic
In the morning, shake it out and scrunch with water. That’s it. Minimal effort, maximum cute.
