CurlHood’s Exclusive Night Care Essentials That You NEED to Worship

Everyone has a night routine. Whether that be a deep cleanse before bed or binge watching a certain number of episodes before you sleep. Most of our Hood members prioritise their night routine before anything! Why? Because finding new ways to increase our self-love with our hair and body is a necessity. What better time to do that just before you dream of putting that self-love into practice?

Just shut your eyes for a moment, and think of a time in your life when you have just done your hair before bed, but you woke up the next morning and your hair is just NOT co-operating with you. We have all been there. Overtime, this can lead to breakage, split ends, dry hair and all sorts of enemies for our hair.

However, here at CurlHood we’ve curated some essentials that you could add to your night routine which - not only will it make you feel a little glam before bed, but will prevent your hair from resembling William Shakespeare – and no, we are definitely not going for that look! With the help of these essentials, your hair will be looking snatched before bed and after.

1. Bonnet Until You’re Warm!

Whatever your hair types, a bonnet does MAGIC. Placing your hair in a bonnet before bed, allows your natural oils and moisture to remain safe in your cloud, and will prevent those split ends you keep trimming off. Our CurlHood bonnets are made with satin, which assists the prevention of breakage and split ends. Why? Because most other materials suck out all the moisture leaving you with a dry and bristle crown.

2. Slicking or protecting?

If a bonnet isn’t for you, let’s take you back to the 90s and get you wearing a do-rag. Want your edges to stay slicked throughout the night? What about protecting your roots from your cotton pillow cases? Du-rags are multipurpose, and they are a great accessory to purchase and implement in your Night Routine. Du-rags are also unisex allowing everyone to protect their hair – whatever the hair type. We’re also seeing Du-rags being worn in some communities as a fashion staple, and we LOVE it.

3. Don’t Dream of the Perfect Night, Have the Perfect Night!

Pillow cases. A simple change to your pillow case is a GAME CHANGER. Satin pillow cases are the best for your hair at night protecting you and your thoughts from bad dreams. When it comes to pillow cases, they provide the same benefits as the bonnet. Sleeping on a cotton pillow case will leave you with frizz and a lot more work for you to do when you wake up.

4. Scrunchie Twist to Prevent the Frizz

Who’s using regular hairbands in 2022? Scrunchies are what’s practical, fashionable and better for your hair so you’re not resulting in cutting your hair off because this big old knot as developed. Sating scrunchies are the perfect alternative for twisting your hair up without all the hassle or knots or frizz. In addition to this, normal hair ties may prevent breakage from the scalp as they can often be worn too tight.

5. Headband those loose strands!

The last thing we want before bed is the disruption of hair strands falling on our face or floating about everywhere; but we also don’t want to put any gel or products in our hair before bed to tuck them away. Headbands are a life saver. Not only do they keep the hairs out of your face so you can get on with your daily tasks, but they are also a great essential for your night routine as they; secure the hair back allowing you to wash your face, do your skincare routine or even just move hair out of your face!

Routines are put in place for a reason. We don’t practice routines for a bad outcome or to ‘test the waters’, we create routines in our lives to ensure a consistent positive result and to keep us grounded – don’t we all wish that for our hair?
