How do I keep the pretty waves?

Hey! So, when I wash my hair during the day, and let it air dry for about 2 hours, I get beautiful curls! But, when I go to bed, I wake up with a messy mass of hair that always evokes that comment "go brush your hair!". What should I do to keep my hair pretty in the morning? I already have a silk pillow. Should I plonk/plop? I'm not sure if pineappeling would work for my hair, but I am willing to try it! All help, suggestions, comments are appreciated!

Sorry, but I LOVE to straighten my hair!

    Pineappling could help or wearing a satin bonnet to bed. You can find the bonnets pretty easily at Sally's or Wal-Mart. Or you could look in to a Satin Sak if your hair is long. I've been eyeing them for a while now.

    Have your tried spritzing your hair with water in the morning? You could comb or finger comb first. You said any and all suggestions...
    My hair is super short, but I pineapple still works for me. I think the plop and the pineapple are both worth a shot. Just be prepared for a redo or ponytail day.
    Good luck.

    I second the pineapple thing. I just gather the hair that will fit on the top of my head and it works great. Its the best thing I've found for keeping my hair semi presentable for the next day. I also have a satin pillowcase to help with the hair that isn't gathered into a pineapple.

    Thanks! I'll try pineappeling tonight! Plopping works somewhat--but my hair's still a little wet in the morning.
