The Nighttime Hair Routine That Lets You Rise & Shine
Healthy, effortlessly shiny hair—it’s the kind of built-in accessory that can instantly upgrade any outfit and uplift any mood. And while regular cuts, glosses and perfecting your styling techniques add to the lustre, sometimes it’s the rituals we add during off-peak hours that really make all the difference. If you haven’t considered a nighttime hair routine—this is your sign to start.
Creating Your Nighttime Hair Routine
So much time is placed on what you do with your hair during the day that you’ve probably overlooked what you should be doing at night, but with a few additions and small changes during the night, you can wake up to healthy, hydrated, silky smooth results.
The Nighttime Rules:
1. No (Sopping) Wet Hair
Hair is most vulnerable when it’s wet. This means that anything from excessive combing to high tension styles or even sleeping on it is a big no-no. If you are a nighttime shower person but not a nighttime blow-dry person, use a microfiber towel to remove as much moisture as possible, perhaps add a touch of heat with a blow dryer and consider a loose braid to protect your strands while you sleep.
2. Detangle Before Lights Out
While your style probably still looks fabulous before bed, after a long day, you’d be surprised how many hidden tangles and knots you can accumulate. Get in the habit of using a natural bristle brush and running through your hair from scalp to ends to detangle, stimulate the scalp, and move natural oils down the hair shaft—this little detail is like nature’s leave-in conditioner for your hair.
3. Add a Hair Treatment
Depending on your style and hair type, not all hair types get the same benefit from detangling before bed. And if you’re someone who regularly wakes up with dry, lacklustre locks or are simply looking for a new way to enhance the health of your hair—add an overnight hair treatment.

4. Choose Your Bedtime Hairstyle
Styling isn’t just for the A.M. hours. Adding protective styles to your bedtime ritual allows you to protect your hair and your style. Whether you’re protecting your curls from frizz, or ensuring your blow-dry remains bouncy when you wake—consider adding braids, twists or even a loose bun to keep your look intact.
5. Invest in Silk Accessories
Whether it's a pillowcase, a headband, scarf, or hair ties—silk (or satin) accessories are a perfect pair for any nighttime routine. By sleeping with silk, you cut down on friction that causes damage and unruly morning strands—leading to softer, dare we say silkier hair. Not only is this habit great for your hair, it’s ideal for your skin as well.
