If you have naturally curly, wavy, kinky or textured hair you may wish extend that great first cleanse day into several days.
When you want your naturally textured hair to look great on follow-up days there are many tricks you can use to avoid frizz, fuzz or frumpy tresses.
One important key to extending your first day hairstyle is how you sleep on your hair. Obviously if you're in bed for 6-8 hours your hair will take the brunt of your sleep cycle.

This is especially true if you toss and turn in your sleep which can wreck havoc on some textured tresses.
How do you sleep on your hair? Although not all methods work for all types of natural curls, waves, kinks, coils or ringlets, they might work for you. Be willing to experiment or modify the suggested tips to find what works best for you.
Listed below are some options known to help extend the life of natural textured hair after the first day:
1. Sleep on satin, silk or other hair friendly fabric.

3. Wrap hair into a bun.

4. Braid strands.

You can try spritzing your dry hair with water or water mixed with a little leave-in conditioner or styling cream of your choice before twisting. Sleep on your misted twists until morning. You can undo the twists and mist again lightly in the morning or scrunch for a beautiful next day look.
