3 Expert Tips for Maintaining Stretched Natural Hair Overnight

Preserving your stretched natural hair at night is essential for maintaining its length and health without resorting to daily heat styling. Here are three simple and effective tips to help you preserve your stretched natural hair effortlessly:

Tip #1: Tie Your Hair Down Nightly

Invest in nighttime accessories like buffs, scarves, or bonnets to protect your hair while you sleep. Choose the option that feels most comfortable for you. Before bedtime, consider bantu knotting or braiding your hair into large plaits to keep it stretched and prevent tangling and matting. This simple step will also make it easier to fluff and style your hair in the morning.

Tip #2: Use A Serum for Lubrication

Hair serums provide essential lubrication and slip to your hair, minimizing friction and preventing breakage while you sleep. Look for serums formulated with silicones to create a protective layer over the hair fiber, smoothing frizz and adding shine. Apply a small amount of serum to your hair before wrapping it at night for best results.

Tip #3: Use A Hair Spray With Hold

Hair spray may seem like a product of the past, but it can be incredibly useful for preserving stretched natural hair. Opt for a hair spray with firm yet flexible hold to minimize frizz and shrinkage, especially when fluffing your hair in the morning. A light hair spray will help maintain your desired style throughout the day.
