Nighttime is a key time in the care of textured hair . Friction against the pillow, lack of protection, or a tense sleeping position can break, dry out, and flatten the curl pattern.

Your ideal nighttime routine:

• Gently loosen the hair, or gather it into a "pineapple" shape.
  
• Use a satin/silk bonnet or scarf , or a satin pillowcase.
  
• If your hair is very dry, add a dab of cream or 2-3 drops of Elixir before going to sleep

Key points to remember:
At night, you need just as much care as during the day. A simple satin fabric can make all the difference to your hydration, your hair length... and your peace of mind when you wake up.
