What is your night time hair regimine?

The main thing I do is keep my hair on TOP of my head. Whether I braid it, twist it, or bun it, I keep my ends COVERED. That's been the most important thing. I've never had a problem growing my hair long, but I'm just more intelligent about it now and am able to retain even more hair growth because of it. Aside from that, I moisturize my ends well, with either shea butter, avocado butter, or sweet almond oil butter from fromnaturewithlove.com (usually in the morning), and I'm good to go. My advice: PROTECT THOSE ENDS ! ! !

i def agree with deeply rooted..you want to keep the ends covered..i used to be one of those girls that just left their ends (as well as the rest of their hair) exposed...now im wrapping my hair up at night and taking time to cut off each INDIVIDUAL (lol yesss individual) split end off and the quality of the end of my hair is getting SO much better..

i'll usually comb a mixture of WGO with Ylang Ylang and Myrrh ( i got it from bath and body works already mixed with safflower oil) and run that through my hair brush very slightly but not all the way through to the ends and wrap it..

i think the key is oiling, protecting ends, and generally wrapping the hair..if its wrapped up good and oiled well youre usually less prone to messing around with the hair (outta sight out of mind) which as im seeing from my RECENT results is exactly what I needed to do..

I used to put rollers in my head at night...but I had to cut that out. Not only was my sleep not as good, but the rollers were slowly thinning or breaking my hair.

Now?

After washing my face, I apply some oils to my wet hairline (WGO, coconut, pepperming). Then I brush the hairline down and tie a scarf over my head like headband to lay the hairline flat. I leave the rest of my hair out and sleep on a satin pillowcase.

Even if my scarf comes off, my hairline is still good to go!

If I need a curl to my ends, I'll either pop some rollers in the morning, or try to set a curl before going to sleep that night.

Now, when my hair gets longer (it's a short ear/chin-length bob), I'll probably gather the back of my hair into one single roller. This won't cause a problem sleeping because it was mostly those side rollers that caused the breakage.

I've been putting jojoba oil on my hair and tying it with a satin scarf. I have also done pin curls over night, but I don't want to wear my hair as curly anymore. I also have been experimenting with putting my hair into two pigtails and then tying my hair with a satin scarf. I've also done the wgo on my edges in the front and that turned out o.k. I do that mostly if my edges are unruly. As you can see, I haven't finalized much of anything other than moisturizing (if jojoba oil counts) and then tying with a satin scarf. Wrapping my hair was tearing my edges up.

Often times I put ghee on my hair, a shower cap, and tie on a satin cap for extra moisture. Other nights just the satin cap or the shower cap and the satin cap.

I used to faithfully wrap my hair every night when it was just past my shoulders, but then I stopped and started to just pile it on my head with a satin scrunchie and put a silk bonnet over that. Since I have been bra-strap I have attempted to wrap my hair but cannot do it anymore, so what I do now is the satin scrunchie ponytail or if I want curls add satin rollers to the ponytail and then place my silk bonnet over it.

1) I first massage for a good 5 minutes

2) remoisturize my scalp and temples since my hair is super dry at the end of the day

3) Comb out gently, moisturize my ends section by section with Mango Butter, Black Castor Oil, or some other moisturizer.

4) Then I either braid hair into two sections and pin up or place into two buns and pin. Then wrap it securely with a satin scarf.

I use my shea butter oil and then I tie it up with my silk bonnet that I can tighten by pulling the strings. i cant sleep with regular satin caps because they just slide off while I sleep.

I am just beginning a no heat regimine. I braid my hair at night for braidouts. I do about 10 braids that I mist with a bit of water, oil, and setting lotion mixture. Then put a satin roller on each braid, and cover with a satin scarf and bonnet. I have only been doing this for a couple of days, I hope it will keep me away from heat.:ohwell:

Depends on how I want to do my hair the next day. I ALWAYS put some type of moisture on my ends. If I'm wearing a bun the next day I make very loose bun at night and tie it up with a scarf. If I'm wearing it straight I wrap or do a mowhawk set with my huge rollers, tie a scarf and go to bed.

I spray a bit of water and apply mango butter or shea butter. I brush into a bun and put on my satin scarf. On weekends, I just put on my satin bonnet.

I put moisturizer (hot six oil, ORS Olive Oil lotion, coconut or jojoba oils, or cocoa butter) on my edges, ends, and nape area. If I am wearing it down, I wrap it (alternating which way I wrap each time I wash it) and cover with a satin scarf. If I am wearing it in a bun, etc, I just put it on top of my head, ends rolled under, put on a scrunchy and satin scarf.

Basic regimen seems to be to oil the most fragile parts of your hair (typically edges, ends, napes) and cover it up with something Satin.

-I co wash my hair in the evening. I do four braids. I put a little NTM Healing Shine Serum on the ends. I put perm rods on the ends and tie with a satin scarf.
