To keep your hair straight when you wake up in the morning, you can experiment with some simple techniques to sleep. A very common way to keep your hair straight overnight is to cover it with a silk scarf or satin cloth. You can also try other solutions, such as sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase, using tools, or keeping the room cool.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Use a straight hair scarf

1. 

   Buy a silk scarf or satin scarf. You can choose from a variety of headscarves, but the best for overnight hair protection are silk or satin towels. These materials reduce the friction between your hair and the pillow, thus helping to avoid tangles when you wake up. You can choose a bandana, turban, or scarf, as long as you can use it to cover your hair and tie it around your head.
   • Large bonnet headscarves are fine as well, however they are probably too large to keep the hair from resting and preferably with a large lanyard. Choose a towel that you can cover your hair with and tie it tightly over your head.

2. 

   
   
   Use your finger to apply the conditioner overnight. To protect straight hair, use an overnight conditioner that is low in alcohol and rich in keratin protein while you sleep. Take a small amount of essence onto fingertips and apply essence to hair by swiping down from the top.

3. 

   
   
   Divide hair from the center behind the head. You will need to divide your hair into 2 parts for this method of covering your hair. Use the comb to divide hair from the center behind the head. Head down, comb or split hair from the center behind the head with your arms.
   • If there is a section of hair in the front, you can also create a focal point there to divide the hair into two equal parts.

4. 

   
   
   Comb your hair while keeping the split. First, brush the hair forward to separate it from the rest of the hair behind. Then brush the front sections of hair on each side backwards, so you have 2 equal sections on each side.
   • Use an elastic band to loosen your hair on one side to separate it from the other side to prepare for the next step.

5. 

   Wrap each side of hair tightly around the back of your head. Grab the middle of the hair on the left side from the back, as if you were wearing a ponytail. Tuck the hair neatly on the back of your head, so that the ends are on the right side and hold it in place with a toothpick if it's just straightened. Do the same thing for the right side of the hair, which means wrapping it neatly behind the head with the hairline on the left side.
   • If there is excess hair on the left side, squeeze it to the right. If there is excess right hair, squeeze it to the left.
   • If you have already fixed one of the hairs in place with an elastic band when parting, remove the elastic before wrapping your hair.
   • If you have long hair, you will need to wrap each section in the front of your head and then back again. Make sure the hair is held firmly on top.

6. 

   Fix the ends with a toothpick. After both hair sections are wrapped tightly around the head, use a toothpick to fix the ends. Toothpicks should be suitable for the shape of the head to minimize indentations in the hair.
   • If your hair is very long and you have to wrap it in the front of your head, you will need to use a few more toothpicks to fix it.

7. 

   Cover the wrapped hair with a towel to keep it still. Use a towel to cover your hair neatly wrapped.Wrap the towel up from the back of your head and tie the towel up front so you don't have to sleep on the knots.
   • Towels will help keep the toothpick in place and keep your hair in place while you sleep.

Method 2 of 2: Keep hair straight overnight

1. 

   Lie on a silk or satin pillow. If you don't feel like covering your hair, you can use silk or satin to protect your hair overnight by purchasing pillowcases made from either of these materials. A pillowcase will reduce friction with your hair if you move your head while sleeping.
   • Look for silk or satin pillowcases online and shop for bedroom items.
   • Even if you don't use a headscarf, it's advisable to wrap your hair up to minimize tangled hair during sleep.

2. 

   Brush your hair naturally straight when wet and dry completely. If you have straight or just slightly curly hair, try shampoo or conditioner before bed. You should brush your hair with a paddle comb or a wide-tooth comb to untangle it, then dry your hair or use a hairdryer and comb down the hair.
   • Make sure your hair is completely dry before you go to bed, because a little moisture can cause frizzy or tangled hair overnight.
   • Use shampoos and conditioners that are specialized "smoothing hair" and do not contain sulfates as these can make hair dry and tangled.

3. 

   Apply overnight straightening therapy to tangled or damaged hair. If your hair becomes tangled or damaged, use an essential oil, conditioner, or conditioner before bed. The ideal products are argan oil or coconut oil. Take a small amount of essential oil onto your finger and slide it from the roots to the ends.
   • Use a tight tooth comb to brush nutrients over your hair to ensure that every strand of hair is cared for.

4. 

   Loosen your bun in the morning. Brush with natural straight or straight hair for a smooth, high tie. Use an elastic band to loosen the ponytail, then create a small bun by wrapping the hair around the center of the ponytail. Tie a bun with a cloth bandage.
   • In the morning, remove the bun and brush it until the hair is straight.
   • This works best when combined with other solutions, such as sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase or using an essence for overnight hair.

5. 

   Keep bedroom temperatures cool. Night sweats can cause hair to be frizzy and frizzy. Install a thermostat or air conditioner to keep the room temperature cool, or open windows on cool nights.

6. 

   Reduce scalp oil with dry shampoo for beautiful straight hair. If you have naturally beautiful straight hair, it usually won't be oily. Instead of washing your hair every night, try using a dry shampoo to control oil and maintain hair thickness. Spray dry shampoo about 6 inches (15 cm) from hairline and hold for 1 minute before stroking it with your fingers to penetrate the roots.
   • If you are using a powdered dry shampoo, shake 1 or 2 parts of the powder onto the roots of your hair and start massaging on your scalp. Add powder in other hairline positions if needed.

7. 

   Use a hair thickener before bed. If you have beautiful, naturally straight hair, you can add a thickening conditioner. Apply some conditioner to your finger and smooth it while the hair is still damp.
   • To add volume, fix your hair by tying it up, in a loose bun, using a curler, or braiding it after applying conditioner.
