QuoteReplyTopic: Sleeping on my CURLZ Posted: December 05 2005 at 2:30pm
About 2 months ago I got my first perm and i must say i love it. My hair falls a little lower than midback and there is ALOT of it. The perm still looks pretty good though. I take alot of time and product to get it to look the way i want and i mostly air dry it and finish it off with a diffuser after i wash it. The end result is wonderful. But then I find myself in a pickle. I have to lay on my curls to fall asleep (obviously) and when i wake up in the morning my hair has gone to hell! If i dont tie it back before i lay down, it frizzes up and parts of it will straighten out. If i do tie it back, it still gets really frizzy. DOes anyone have any tips/tricks or know of any products that can keep my curls looking beautiful for when i wake up in the morning? HELP!
I usually wash my hair at night but i make sure it is thoroughly dry before i lay on it. but then it all goes haywire anyways. second day perm hair aint too pretty.

I don’t really think there is a safe way to sleep on curls
without them getting ruined. To sleep you have to put your head down…and when
that happens it flattens your curls. Unless you can sleep standing up I don’t really
think there is any way you can go to sleep on your curls and wake up in the
morning having them all looking the same way they did when you went to sleep.
You can try doing a pineapple to sleep on. pineapple = gathering hair
gently on top of head with a scrunchie to preserve curls for 2nd day
hair. Then you can mist your hair in the morning to fix whatever got
messed up.

I think you're turning your head while you're sleeping. If this is the case, then a satin pillowcase might help (from TLC), or doing a Bubbatail when you go to bed. Tying hair back is one thing, but a Bubbatail is more secure. The idea is to use more than one scrunchie, and keep your curls from separating when you sleep. Reasons good curls turn into frizz include: (a) improper combing (b) brushing (c) rubbing vigorously or with enough pressure, or (d) not enough conditioner. Maybe you can add a second conditioner, just a light and cheap one. It would be used after your shampoo, and before your regular conditioner.
ITA with Layla. Try a pineapple or you can pin all your curls on top of your head with duckbill clips and put a satin bonnet on. Spritz in the morning to freshen up curls.
