Splurge on a salon blowout<\/h2>
For those of us who blow-dry our hair, you may have noticed that a professional blow-dry lasts days longer than a DIY job<\/a>. Indulging in a styling session with your hairstylist every now and then enables you to quickly re-fluff in the morning\u2014and race out the door.<\/p> The way you care for your hair while you snooze can greatly impact the state of your strands in the morning. A satin pillowcase<\/a> minimizes friction (and thus, frizz), while \u201cpulling your hair up into a high bun and securing with something soft like a scrunchie can boost volume and keep a blowout intact,\u201d says Diaz. To keep straightened hair sleek, she also suggests wrapping your hair around your head and securing with a silk scarf.<\/p> A curly girl\u2019s best friend for bedtime is a pineapple plus cloth scrunchie combination. Just pile your hair on top of your head and secure with a scrunchie to ensure that your curls<\/a> won\u2019t be disturbed while you\u2019re sleeping. Or, if you\u2019re looking to elongate your coils while sleeping, try splitting your hair down the middle, separate your hair into three sections, two on the side of your head and one on top, and then tie off those segments into three ponytails with scrunchies. While it might not be the most glamorous hairstyle, you will wake up amazed at how your curls have grown overnight.<\/p> To style while you snooze, try weaving your hair into loose braids at night, then unwind them in the a.m. to reveal a beachy texture.<\/p> Pro Tip #1:<\/strong> Spray in a little salt or texturizing spray in the evening, before you weave your hair into braids. This will help keep your waves in tact throughout the night and next day.<\/p> Pro Tip #2:<\/strong> For even wavier results, just create more plaits.<\/p> A knot at your nape, a fishtail braid, a ballerina bun<\/a>: You need at least one fail-safe style to pull out of your arsenal on those days when you oversleep and wake to major bedhead.<\/p> If you find yourself constantly wrestling with layers that won\u2019t lie right\u2014or a stubborn cowlick in your baby bangs\u2014you may want to consider a simpler cut. For straight or wavy textures, a nearly-all-one-length bob (or a lob, which is stylist-speak for a longer bob), is typically quick and easy to style, cutting down on chronic angst in the a.m. When it comes to curly hair, getting a cut with layers that fall into a round shape is the easiest way to maintain your style without having to get constant trims.<\/p> There are few things that add body to limp locks more efficiently than old-school hot rollers<\/a>. It typically takes under five minutes to roll them all in, and then you\u2019re hands-free while you get dressed, apply makeup, or sip on coffee as they cool.<\/p> When you feel like your hair is a disaster but you\u2019ve no time to shampoo and start over, just dampen the hair around your face, and re-shape it with a blow-dryer and brush. If your hair is curly, dampen the front and either air-dry or diffuse. Then, just scrape the sides and back of your hair into a ponytail, knot, or braid<\/a>.<\/p> If you\u2019ve no time to shower and shampoo, it\u2019s also highly unlikely that you\u2019ve recently slipped in a deep conditioning treatment. So, sneak one in while you pull yourself together. Just coat your hair with a treatment mask<\/a> or oil<\/a>, create a deep side part, and comb your hair back into a neat bun at the back of your head. This slicked-back look is both French-girl chic and so good for neglected strands. Rinse out in the evening, when you finally have a few seconds to step into the shower.<\/p>\n\nSleep strategically<\/h2>
