Sleeping the right way is key to keeping bouncy curly hair fresh and defined. One of the best methods is the “pineapple,” where you loosely tie your curls on top of your head with a soft scrunchie. This helps prevent flattening and tangling.

Using a silk or satin pillowcase reduces friction, which keeps curls smooth and bouncy. Alternatively, wrapping your hair in a satin bonnet or scarf works just as well. These fabrics help retain moisture and protect curl patterns overnight.

If your curls are longer or looser, you can also try loose braids or twists before bed. In the morning, shake out your curls and use a curl refresher spray or a little water to revive the volume.

With these simple techniques, you can wake up with bouncy curly hair that’s just as lively and defined as the day before—no heat or re-styling required!
