I’m not an excellent sleeper usually (regardless of my meticulous nighttime routine, which incorporates melatonin, a white noise machine, and crimson lights – simply to call a couple of), so including a cool contraption on my head actually doesn’t assist issues. I get irritated even sleeping with a silk bonnet, and typically I’ve to decide between getting a full eight hours and waking up with a frizzy mess.

Testing this hack got here on the good time – I had a date the evening earlier than, so I washed and dried my hair. Nonetheless, I wanted my blowout to final me the subsequent day till it was time to exit on a second date (I’m actually attempting to cram issues in earlier than the top of the yr) as a result of I didn’t wish to model my hair two days in a row. As soon as I acquired dwelling from stated first date, I shortly took a physique bathe, hopped out, grabbed the headband I had readily available, and started working.

I divided my hair into two sections cut up down the center, and I began braiding the left facet of my hair however subbed within the scarf because the third piece of hair. As soon as I completed braiding the primary half, I secured it with a silk hair tie and I moved onto the opposite facet. When each had been completed, I twisted them up collectively and tied them utilizing the ends of the headband. A couple of tutorials confirmed individuals spritzing their hair with hairspray, however I opted to skip that step as a result of I didn’t wish to add any product to my hair. Then, I headed to mattress.
I popped 10 mg of melatonin as I normally do and I solely awoke as soon as in the course of the evening to make use of the lavatory. The heatless hair technique wasn’t uncomfortable to sleep on by any means, and I might really swap from mendacity on my again to my facet simply with out hesitation.
