It's always advisable to leave braiding hair extensions overnight for you to have a fresh look and an extended period without having to style your braids all over again.
Use A Silk Or Satin Scarf
These are gentle on the hair, encourage minimum friction, and allow less frizz and breakage while at the same time preventing the braids from becoming messy.
Avoid cotton since it dries your hair by absorbing the moistures from your hair.
Use A Silk Or Satin Pillowcase
These pillowcases are another good substitute of a scarf-it keeps the hair from gaining excess friction and keeps the moisture locked in your braids.
Another cool overnight care is a loose-fitting silk or satin hair bonnet. It's really handy, especially for those with long braids. You can cover more hair and prevent tangling while you sleep. Balm or moisturiser can be applied to the scalp with a gentle massaging action. This helps promote blood circulation while the balm or moisturiser softens the hair.
Moisturize Your Scalp
Hydrate your scalp even when you have hair braids or extensions. Do this by applying lightweight oil or leave-in conditioner at night. Try to avoid dryness and flakiness that may give your natural hair and your extensions dullness.
Braid Or Tie Your Hair
Tying such longer braids into a low ponytail or wrapping them into a loose bun before bed should keep your braids from tangling or kinking, and thereby staying in shape even during sleep.
Mimicking these simple steps will ensure that your braiding hair additions will look perfectly sleek and fresh after a good night's rest.
