Tips to Style Your Hair Overnight

By Taylor Pineda

The price we pay for beauty sometimes is not from material expenses but the sacrifice of those precious zzz’s cutting our “beauty sleep” short. Have no fear ladies there are some great new trendy ideas to make your sleep serve a dual purpose by glamming up your hair, while replenishing your body for the busy day ahead.

No matter what season, a little body and wave never harmed anyone, and for Fall 2013 voluminous curls are in and you don’t even have to put heat on your hair, giving you a chance to recover from all of the tanning and chlorine the summer inflicted upon our hair.

To get a full look, start with damp hair (either after a shower, or you can sprtiz your hair with a water bottle). Have a roll of paper towels near and begin twisting small sections (about a half inch thick) of your hair into spiral rolls. You are then going to use one sheet of a paper towel rolled vertically, so that it remains the same length but is thicker. Roll your hair around this paper towel as if you were rolling a curler in to your hair.

Once the entire strand of hair is rolled, you will use the excess of the end of the paper towel to tie a knot over the hair securing the paper towel. Repeat this to all sections of your hair and get that beauty sleep! When you wake up and remove the paper towels, you hair should have full, soft curls.

Another way of getting a similar curl with just a bit more sharpness that you would get by curling your hair with an iron is to use a similar method with bobby pins in place of the paper towels. Begin by separating the hair in to small sections (about half an inch); you will want to make sure the hair is damp to hold the curl better overnight.

Next twist the sections of hair as you would if you were doing the first look, however instead of rolling the twist up you are simply going to twist the hair around in to little buns around you hair securing them with bobby pins. When all rolls are complete, enjoy your zzz’s; after removing the pins in the morning your hair should have pretty curls and a classy wave.
