Do you always dream of waking up with beautiful hair, just like Bollywood actresses in movies? Well, the good news is that you can achieve those perfect tresses in the morning if you are dedicated enough to spend some time on your hair every night before going to sleep. Just make sure to incorporate these tips into your night time routine and wake up with luscious, strong hair.
1. Oiling- Our hair go through a lot of wear and tear on a daily basis and thus deserve some love and pampering at the end of the day. Oils act as a moisturizing agent and help keep the hair soft and shiny and at the same time is great food for your hair. The best time to apply a hair oil is at night before you go to sleep. You can choose any oil of your choice the most preferred ones being coconut oil, olive oil, castor oil and sesame oil. Depending on the length of the length of your hair, pour out the oil in a bowl and warm it up either on a stovetop or in a microwave. Massage your scalp with this warm oil for few minutes gently. Tie your hair up in a bun or ponytail and go to sleep. By oiling your hair at night you give the oil enough time to get absorbed by the roots as well as repair the shaft. Next morning shampoo your hair and you have the most luscious, shiny and soft hair.

2. Apply serum- If you are not a huge fan of oiling or you don’t have enough time to massage your scalp then you can choose serum as an alternative. Serums are the thick elixir that coats the hair strands and normally used to reduce frizz, treat dry hair and shine to your mane. Pour out a pump or two of your hair serum on your palm and apply it on just the lengths of your hair concentrating on the ends. Make sure not to apply any on your roots as this will make your hair look greasy. Also, avoid using too much of it.

3. Tie up your hair- Tying your hair before going to sleep ensures that your hair do not get tangled or create a lot of friction which might lead to breakage and split ends. You can either make a bun out of your hair or put them in a braid. Whatever hair style you choose, don’t tie your hair too tight as this may lead to sore roots and hair fall.

4. Cover your mane- If you have long hair it is better to cover them with a muslin cloth to reduce friction as it may lead to split ends. Tie your hair in such a way so that the cloth does not come out while you are asleep. This prevents split ends and treats them at the same time.
