I can't sleep with rollers on my sides so I usually just put on a bonnet and hope for the best in the morning.
In the morning, I loosen the spirals as I moisturize them and whatever doesn't come out right I either:
1- tuck one side behind my ear for a cute look
2- do a loose pin up in the back with a few "surviving"
curls hanging, or
3- I revive the random curls with a Caruso steam roller in
and voila, they're all back to normal. The Steam rollers
are a MAJOR staple for me.
My hair is just shoulder length, so putting the hair up at night and letting it out in the morning will ruin my hairdo- unlike those with long hair.
