Night care. Is it necessary?

It’s important to take care of your hair during the day, but what about at night? Though many people ignore it, taking care of your hair at night is essential to maintaining the health and vibrancy of your hair.

Your hair is exposed to various factors such as dehydration and friction while you sleep, which can cause damage. Because of this, having a good nighttime routine for your hair can greatly improve both its appearance and feel.

This post will discuss whether taking care of your hair at night is actually essential and how to protect it while you sleep with a few easy tweaks.

Kerastase Nutritive 8H Magic Night Serum

The product dispenser is exceptional; it dispenses the product moderately, doesn’t spit, and is composed of sturdy plastic. It’s great that the producer also considered including a safety cap that shuts with a distinctive click, ensuring that the product won’t leak while traveling.

What the manufacturer promises:

• 8 hours of night nutrition in combination with the Satin 2 shampoo-bath + Masquintense mask.
• The gradually unfolding aroma ensures a relaxing sleep and gives a boost of energy in the morning.
• Detangles hair, protects against damage from friction against the pillow.
• Moisturizes without weighing down fine hair.
• Hair becomes softer to the touch.
• Makes normal or coarse hair more manageable.
• Separates curls of wavy hair.

Impressions

The dryness that plagued me the day after I washed my hair was the primary reason I purchased the serum. The hair appears lively and silky in the evening, but in the morning, straw is visible (I believe this is a common occurrence). As fate would have it, I grabbed any product that could straighten the ends during the morning rush and ended up with overdried icicles and dryness. Here, the manufacturer assured me of both manageable, soft hair and the moisturizing I so desperately desired.

This is what ultimately convinced me to purchase the serum.

I would like to schedule a reservation immediately, as I did not use the serum in conjunction with any other products from this line. On the contrary, I made an effort to apply it as frequently as I could following various products in order to realize how versatile it is.

The product’s manufacturer suggests applying to damp or dry hair using two different methods. I experimented with both and found no discernible difference. I need two portions of the product for my hair. I apply a warm drop starting at the ends and working my way up. After that, I can choose to braid my hair or just put my hair back on the pillow.

The picture was taken in the evening of the second day to ensure the experiment’s integrity. How long the hair would look put together and whether it would at all piqued my curiosity.

So what is the advantage of this serum

It effectively nourishes and moisturizes hair, which is especially noticeable at the ends. Long-lasting, delicate, and pleasant scent that clings to the hair Much less tangles occur in hair Does not burden Neither greasiness nor stickiness. Instantly absorbs and doesn’t need to be rinsed

I personally only identified two drawbacks: The serum leaves fluff behind. A small styling effect is present. This is more of a drawback for me because I dislike the wave that results from braiding my hair (and the wave lasts until I wash my hair after the serum).

My go-to serum for seven long months was Kerastase Nutritive, but then I found this one online:

Not only is nighttime hair care an added step, but it’s essential to keeping strong, healthy hair. Your hair can gain moisture, defense, and repair while you sleep. Applying leave-in treatments, using a silk pillowcase, and loosely braiding your hair are easy ways to prevent damage, lessen frizz, and improve the health of your hair in general. Therefore, yes, if you want your hair to stay at its best, night care is required.

Wonder Overnight Recovery Mask by Percy&Reed

Slick packaging, an abundance of positive feedback, and the tagline "This hero does wear a mask" all enticed consumers to purchase a new item.

the mask DOES NOT contain sulfates and gluten
Suitable for vegans and people with sensitive skin

The protective membrane on the spout has a control for the package’s initial opening. Thus, you won’t need to be concerned about someone sniffing or using the product after they open the package.

The mask has a subtle, herbal, and fresh scent. Quickly disappears from hair. The product has a pleasant consistency that spreads easily over hair and absorbs quickly.

From the manufacturer:

Too busy to give your hair a mask? We’ve got a fix! Merge pleasure and business and effortlessly change your hair as you sleep. With our special quick-drying mask, your hair absorbs it right away, so you can sleep soundly without worrying about leaving stains on your pillow. Overnight hair restoration using provitamin B5 and natural pea proteins revitalizes dry, damaged hair while regaining structure and luster. Exactly! • Deep conditioning treatment for all hair types at night When applied to dry hair, it strengthens, adds shine, and smoothes and hydrates dehydrated and damaged hair.

Impressions

I was confused the first time I used the mask because my hair instantly ingested the product. Neither did they get softer or more greasy. Nothing! As though I hadn’t used it on my hair (you can feel the product on your hair right away after using Kerastase, by the way).

Naturally, I tried applying the product two more times, but my hair just absorbed it. I said to myself, "What nonsense," and went to bed. What do you suppose I discovered this morning? Icicles, of course! My hair was a mess and didn’t look good.

It was decided to apply roughly the same amount as the Kerastase serum the following time. I experienced the second extreme in the morning: dry ends. To tell the truth, I wasn’t let down by the limit. So how is that even possible?

1. The mask works best after using a nourishing or restorative mask in care (after a moisturizing mask, no matter how much you apply, there will be dryness)
2. It is better to apply the mask to slightly damp hair (although the manufacturer recommends exactly the opposite). I just ran my wet hands through my hair, and applied the product on top

The pluses of the mask

Absorbed right away It doesn’t weight or cause oily ends with moderate application, and using it every day doesn’t have a cumulative effect. Not a memory that is laid down. After the braid, the hair is quickly straightened.

And here’s a big zero for me: it’s not universal; you have to find a strategy.

The manufacturer also says that the air conditioner won’t be needed when washing the head first thing in the morning following application. Unfortunately, this effect did not work on my hair, even after using it daily for two weeks. Not enough nourishment was given to the hair to avoid using the air conditioner after shampooing. Perhaps conditioner is really unnecessary for hair that isn’t too damaged.

Do you believe I ended there? Naturally, no! And she was purchased: the most adorable and lovely tiny item

Loretta Night Care Cream by Moltobene

Morimoto Hideatsu


Manufacturer"s promises:

During the night, when active cell regeneration takes place, Moltobene Loretta Night Care Night Cream is intended to repair dry and damaged hair. developed using vitamin E-enriched, environmentally friendly argan oil.

In order to ensure normal growth and optimal restoration, the cream nourishes the hair with all the essential vitamins and retains them inside. protects against harmful environmental effects and makes hair easier to manage and style. Long-term use brings back the softness, elasticity, and shine of nature. Hair will appear robust and healthy.

Aroma… mm… Particular, in my opinion I detect the aroma of a summer meadow and a lone rose. In addition, the scent is strong rather than light, and it doesn’t stay on the hair for very long. However, my partner claimed that the cream smells like medicine and iodine. When the cream was first packaged, it had a control to open the mica-filled container.

Impressions

I was dubious about the cream after "dancing with a tambourine" with a Percy & Reed mask. I wasn’t in a rush to use it, even though the bottle looked good on the shelf.

But one night, my curiosity won out and I cracked open the cream. Looking ahead, I will say that my lack of understanding of the cream’s full benefits during my initial use was directly caused by my skepticism.

Everything about the cream irritated me, including its vivid scent, excessively thick consistency, delayed absorption compared to other products, and slight stiffness and density it left on my hair. The phrase "money down the drain" was all I could think of before going to bed.

But everything changed in the morning! The hair was dense, flowing, and smooth. The ends lay as a single canvas, not protruding from the overall mass. It was delightful!

For 2 weeks of use every other day, the cream did not let me down even once. It worked equally well after all masks and even intensive care.

Pros

Adds body and luster to hair without adding weight anti-slip properties. Smoothness persists in hair even in high humidity. Not a style memory The longer you use the cream, the denser, softer, and more nourished the hair gets. This is actually an effect of cumulative use.

I suppose the only drawback I can think of is how long it takes for the cream to absorb—roughly five to ten minutes.

Hair care at night isn’t just a luxury; it’s a quick and easy routine that can have a big impact. By doing a few things before bed, you can keep your hair strong and healthy by repairing it and shielding it from everyday damage.

You can stop breakage and dryness by moisturizing, using silk pillowcases, or gently braiding your hair. It’s simple to work into your current schedule, and the outcomes are undeniable.

Night care is a simple way to give your hair a little extra love while you sleep, but ultimately, that’s up to you. Over time, small habits can add up to significant gains.
