At night, I prioritize protecting my hair by using a scarf or bonnet, depending on the hairstyle. For wash-n-go styles, I usually gather my hair into a pineapple and wrap a scarf around my head before putting on a satin bonnet. Using satin materials is crucial as it helps reduce friction and snagging, ensuring my hair stays smooth and less prone to breakage during sleep.

A good leave-in conditioner is essential for refreshing my natural hair daily or every couple of days, ensuring it stays well-moisturized. I prefer using heavy creams with Shea butter, as they provide the necessary moisture and keep my hair nourished. To maintain both moisture and strength, I make sure to incorporate deep conditioning treatments every wash day and protein treatments 1-2 a month.
