Tired of waking up with matted and tangled hair? Do you end up with more hair in your brush or bathroom sink than on your head? There really is a simple solution to decrease those nasty little hair knots and dryness that leave your perfectly coiffed hair less than admirable.
Chances are, you sleep on a cotton covered pillowcase at night and never gave it a second thought. However, cotton tends to wick natural oils from your hair leaving it dry and maybe somewhat itchy. The friction action between your hair during sleep and the pillowcase can really wreak havoc on your hair so in the morning you end up with a tangled mess that’s difficult to correct. You look with horror at your hairbrush each morning as more and more of your hair ends up in the sink. You may think it’s just the natural aging process, and of course some of it is, but there’s a way to slow down the hair loss problem.
So, what’s the solution? Step away from the cotton pillowcase and slip on a Silk or even Satin pillowcase. Silk is a natural fiber where Satin has a blend of natural and manmade fibers, but both work equally as well. The friction between your hair and the pillow during night sleep will be greatly reduced, thus reducing the tangles. You’ll not only get a better nights sleep, but your hair (and brush) will thank you. And as an added bonus, if you tend to get facial ‘pillow wrinkles’ at night, they’ll be diminished as well.
The second thing to do is spritz a bit of leave-in conditioner in your hair after you shower each day. We tend to wash and condition our hair, then dry. Best to stay away from heat drying when possible. When we rinse out after showering, we also rinse out the conditioner, leaving our hair unprotected and often times looking dry and lifeless. Spritz a bit of leave-in conditioner after showering and maybe even a bit at night before turning in.
Use this simple trick to reduce those unsightly hair tangles and let your hair shine like when you were in your 20’s. Hey, we all want to look our best and what a simple way to look refreshed. You’ll love the way it looks on you!
