Hair Treatment Overnight: That’s How It Really Works!

If you want to care for your hair intensively, let your hair conditioner work overnight. The promise: beautiful hair, sweet dreams and more time in the morning.

Sun, salt or chlorine water and styling heat: our hair is exposed to daily strain. Instead of being beautifully supple, the mane is suddenly dull or brittle and in the worst case it can break or split.

To keep your hair healthy and shiny for as long as possible, a hair treatment is the perfect complement to your daily hair care. Hair care is even more intensive if it is left to work overnight. So go to bed quickly and wake up the next morning with beautiful hair thanks to the treatment!

Overnight hair care: You should know that

To get through the night without nightmares, you should use the right products for your hair care and not just any hair treatment. Make sure you observe the specified exposure time. Many hair treatments are designed for a quick care boost and should not remain in the hair for longer than 15 minutes. During the application time, the hair fibre swells and the cuticle layer opens, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate the hair. This layer closes again after rinsing. However, if the specified application time is exceeded, the desired effect can turn into the opposite, the hair structure is damaged and instead of shiny hair, you may be annoyed by brittle or stringy lengths.

Ideal is a special overnight treatment that remains in the hair overnight and is only rinsed out again the next morning. The special: The concentration of the active ingredients is less dosed and can be delivered to the hair bit by bit without attacking the hair structure.

Hair treatment overnight: Tips and tricks

You have now found a suitable overnight hair treatment according to your hair type? Great! With these tips, you and your mop of hair can look forward to a restful night and shining prospects:

• A lot helps a lot? Wrong! A walnut-sized portion of the hair cure overnight is absolutely sufficient. Anything else would only overload the mop of hair.
• Massage the conditioner into dry hair and ONLY into the lengths and ends. Please do not touch the hairline or scalp. Otherwise the mane can be quickly overgrown and hang down tired and weak.
• Warming the hair with a hairdryer for a few minutes increases the beauty effect.
• Thanks to a shower cap on the head and a towel on the pillow there are no annoying stains on the bed linen and the conditioner stays where it belongs – in the hair!
• The morning after, wash the hair thoroughly with shampoo without sulfates or silicones and rinse with lukewarm water. Too hot water would only stress the hair unnecessarily. Because of the cure you can do without a conditioner by the way!

This is the right care

Of course you can buy a ready-made overnight hair treatment. If you like, you can treat your hair to something special and make your own hair treatment with avocado and honey. Also coconut oil, for example, cares for hair and scalp and can even prevent split ends. It wraps itself around the hair fibres like a protective shield, lends intensive shine and leaves a pleasant scent in the hair. However, the most effective application is to leave the coconut oil on overnight. Again, massage a little oil into the tips, place a towel on the pillow and the next morning, wash the hair with shampoo.
