How do I preserve my curls?

Question

Just curled my hair with a curling iron and it took really well with my new layers! how do I preserve them whilst i am asleep tonight?

Answer 1

unless you plan on sleeping standing up, there probably isn't a way to preserve them. But try buying some large velcro curlers to put in your hair before bed, tying a scarf around them (you'll look like an old lady, but there's a reason why they do it) and use a big fluffy pillow when you sleep for comfort. In the morning, take the rollers out, shake out the curls and then mist with a finishing spray. Good luck!

Answer 2

It won't be easy. If you hair holds curl well, you should be okay by doing this: sleep on a roll of paper towels instead of a pillow. Put the roll under your neck and don't smash your hair; lay it over top of the roll. If your hair is hard-to-curl, you will probably lose the curls anyway.

Answer 3

Its tough to do it. Try putting in a pony tail, then loosely pin the curls under- with bobby pins- into a bun. Then you can put some smoother in your hair the next day and go over them a little with the curling iron to freshen them up.

Answer 4

Well first sleep on your face (or sides).... i know i know it's hard but that's the only gauranteed way to protect them. My hair is just like yours. My curls won't stay if I sleep on them. Wrap it up carefully in a satin cloth or a head scarf. Then put shower cap on to preserve it. Make sure to use lots of hairspray on the curls. It will make them quite stiff but it will also help them stay curlier longer.... GOOD LUCK!

Answer 5

Next time use a setting lotion that will stiffen your curls. You can also use the dreaded hairspray... but don't over do it. Setting the hair on steam rollers is also an option.
