Dry your Hair Overnight Solution

 Pictured is my ancient soft bonnet hair dryer by Gold n' Hot.  It still works!!!!

 The soft bonnet is pretty large in size with adjustable closure.  From rollers to braid-outs, this soft bonnet should fit your head size to set your wet set overnight.

 The hose connects to the soft bonnet deliver hot air either on low or high setting.  It is not too noisy either.

 The soft bonnet and the electrical cord are stored in the hidden compartment  underneath the air hose.  I would sleep with the hose protruding from the forehead. A timer can be set if you do not want to run the soft bonnet dryer all night.

Everything seen in these pictures stores away neatly and compactly with the handle for the case.  No more fears of shampooing your hair at night and not drying by the morning!

Now, if you are not sleeping alone, I promise that this particular dryer is no louder than a big fan or a big heater equalizing the room temperature.

And I thought I had an old version . . .   LOL!

  

Nighttime Hair maintenance Using Headbands

I picked these "Ouchless Gentle fit" headbands to use at night. The first method is for long straight hair. It is called "Headband curls." I found this youtube tutorial by searching for "no heat curls." click here for headband curls video by CuteGirlsHairstyles

Pictured is the results of the headband curling method from the night before. I achieved beautiful S-shaped waves in my straight hair. I used the Joico Leave-in Detangler to mist my hair before spiral wrapping around the headband.
For those with relaxed hair, try a water based hairdressing instead of a mist, then spiral wrap around the headband.
The second nighttime method is for long curly hair. It is called the "Pineapple Method." click here for pineapple method video using a scrunchie The headband is better for those with thicker or kinkier hair that will not fit into the scrunchie.
The overall idea of the pineapple method is to pile all the curls on top of your head and hold them there overnight.

Coconut Oil as an overnight hair treatment

Coconut oil seems to be the next most popular oil behind the Argan Oil. The coconut oil is heavy so I suggest that only coarse hair or double processed hair consider using it as a treatment. It is a solid that will liquefy with body heat. It can be greasy, but when used as an overnight treatment to be shampooed the next day, it leaves the hair extra soft! According to the "IndianSpectra" magazine, they recommend this treatment twice a week. However, remember you are to shampoo the next day so that the hair is not too heavy.
According to the instructions, this brand can be used to cook with, consumed as a dietary supplement, used as a skin care regimen as well as a hair treatment. It does smell a little like a cooking oil. Also, a little goes a long way! It can be purchased from the Vitamin Shoppe and other "organic" food markets.
