Second Day Hair

how many times has this happened to you: you wash your hair and style it to perfection. you go to sleep. you wake up the next morning and *EEEEKKK* your once beautiful curls have become a messy, unkempt frizzball! this happens to me pretty much every day!!! what is the best way to revitalize messy curls in the morning? i don't want to have to wash my hair in the morning!!!
3b. Tight, brown corkscrew ringlets; down to the middle of my back with sideswept bangs that I "straighten" by tucking behind my ear while drying.

Oh...and sometimes I use a small curling iron to repair individual curls that have become frazzled, but most days I'm unwilling to exert that much effort.

It's the way I "styled" my hair in the 80's :oops: (such a cool teen!)
To help with second day hair it's loosely pullng hair into a scrunchie on top of your head which should stop the curls getting so crushed.
CG for 6 months using No-poo, One Conditioner. Styling products still searching for HG but liking Biolage Gelee, Abba Weightless and Angell.
Products that I want to try in the future: Ojon Restorative Treatment
The keys to good second-day hair:
1) Use good styling products if you use those- ones that discourage frizz, for instance.
2) Satin pillowcase! I cannot stress how important this is! A satin pillowcase makes a huge difference.
3) Wait. Give your hair some time to chill. Sometimes I wake up and it's sticking out in weird directions, but within half an hour it looks decent again.
4) Mist with water. You can revive second-day hair by misting with a little water. This really works and if you are using good products does not cause frizz.
What I have been doing is to run warm water in the tub and just barely turn on the shower, then stick my head under the shower very briefly. (The misting bottle just doesn't seem to work as well for me--). Then it's not totally soaked, but not as dry as misting. Then I spray leave-in conditioner, etc., and either air dry or diffuse.
