How to Keep Curls Overnight: 6 Tips to Preserve Your Curls While Sleeping

For soft curls try...
PIN CURLS

If you have a softer hair texture but still want "big hair, don't care" bragging rights, pin curls might be the method for you. Gather each curl from the bottom around your index finger, roll it upward, and flatten it onto your scalp. Secure with a bobby pin overnight, and gently release each in the morning for big and bouncy ringlets.

For long, loose curls try...
A TOPKNOT

When it comes to preserving longer curly hair at night, it can be time-consuming when you'd rather be in bed (or watching just one more episode on Netflix). "If you've got longer hair, opt for a lightweight curl mousse," says celebrity hairstylist and Dove curl expert Cynthia Alvarez. Scrunch the mousse into your strands, flip your head over, and twist your hair into a high topknot, making sure it isn't pulled too tightly around your scalp. Secure with a hair tie and pins. In the morning take your hair down and reinforce some of the waves with your fingers or a curling iron for extra hold. For tighter waves and more volume, create multiple buns on your head. Put a soft silk scarf over the buns to keep them in place, without the friction of your pillowcase rubbing on them.
