Nighttime Hair Care Routine: Protect Your Hair While You Sleep

Your hair deserves care and attention, even while you sleep. A proper nighttime hair care routine can help protect your strands, maintain moisture, and reduce breakage. By using high-quality products like Davines and Kérastase, you can wake up with healthier, more manageable hair. Here’s a step-by-step guide to crafting your perfect nighttime hair care routine.

1. Brush Your Hair Gently

Before bedtime, use a gentle, wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush to remove tangles and distribute natural oils from your scalp. This minimizes breakage and ensures your hair is primed for overnight care.

💡 Pro Tip: If your hair is prone to tangles, try a leave-in conditioner like the Davines OI All-in-One Milk. It detangles, hydrates, and adds softness to your hair.

2. Apply a Nourishing Hair Oil or Serum

Protect your hair from overnight dryness by applying a nourishing oil or serum. This step locks in moisture and keeps your hair smooth.

  • For a luxurious experience, try Kérastase Elixir Ultime Oil. It’s lightweight, adds shine, and nourishes all hair types.
  • If you prefer something eco-conscious, Davines OI Oil is a fantastic option. Its antioxidant properties protect your hair from environmental stressors while softening your strands.

3. Use a Silk or Satin Pillowcase

Cotton pillowcases can cause friction, leading to frizz and breakage. Switching to a silk or satin pillowcase can protect your hair and help retain moisture.

💡 Bonus: Silk pillowcases are also great for your skin, reducing the appearance of sleep lines and keeping your face hydrated.

4. Tie Your Hair Loosely

Keep your hair secure while you sleep to prevent tangling. Use a soft scrunchie or a silk hair tie to loosely braid your hair or create a low ponytail. Avoid tight hairstyles that can stress your scalp and cause breakage.

For added care, apply Davines This Is An Invisible Serum to reduce flyaways and add subtle texture.

5. Deep Condition Weekly

If your hair tends to get dry or damaged, incorporate a weekly overnight treatment into your routine.

  • Davines The Restless Circle Mask is perfect for busy individuals. Apply it before bed for deep hydration and repair.
  • Alternatively, try Kérastase Nutritive Masque Magistral for intense nourishment, especially if your hair is thick or dry.

6. Protect Your Scalp

Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Before bed, use a scalp treatment to stimulate growth and remove buildup.

  • Kérastase’s Specifique Potentialiste Serum is a lightweight option that balances and soothes your scalp.
  • For natural and sustainable care, Davines Energizing Superactive promotes scalp health with its revitalising formula.

7. Avoid Heat Styling Before Bed

Heat-styled hair is more prone to breakage overnight. Instead of reaching for the curling iron or straightener, embrace your natural texture or use heatless styling tools like flexi-rods for soft waves.

By following this nighttime hair care routine and using premium products from Davines and Kérastase, you can ensure your hair remains strong, hydrated, and frizz-free. Sweet dreams—and even sweeter hair!
