Answer: This is one of the most frequently asked questions for curly hair living! Of course, after you’ve invested time on wash day for a great curl set, it would be nice for it to last at least another day or two. We all get it!
To keep your curls looking nice for another day after sleeping on them, try an overnight hairstyle that’s also covered throughout the night. It only takes a minute and a couple of must-have accessories to protect your curls for another day.
What you’ll need:
Alligator styling clips + Hair Bonnet or Hair Buff
Overnight Curly Hairstyle
Wake up to better curls with an overnight hairstyle! Whether you have short or long curly hair, try loosely clipping up your hair while sleeping to keep the top layer of curls from frizz and tangles.

Night Protection
Whether you decide to leave your hair down or clipped up in an overnight hairstyle, try covering your hair with a bonnet or hair buff. This will help prevent your curls from separating and getting frizzy during the night.
Hair bonnets are easy to find and are made in various sizes to accommodate your hair length and volume.
I love a hair buff, also found online as multifunctional headwear, for the ease and comfort. It’s a stretchy material without any elastic bands. Do know that there are different lengths available too! I look for the longer ones to cover the full length of my hair.

Silky Pillowcase
If you are not comfortable with a bonnet or hair buff, try a silk or satin pillowcase. You’ve heard that a silk pillowcase is a dream for your skin and hair, and all the stories are true! Still, a satin pillowcase is a great start and an affordable option with some compromises on comfort, but worth a try!
Morning Routines
Your protected curls will still need some time to adjust in the morning. After taking your hair down, give your hair at least 10 minutes to settle back down on its own. Then, depending on your needs, try one of these morning routines for another great curl day!
