Overnight hair care

Hair rubs on the pillow for hours every night. A bonnet or wrap keeps it in a smooth case, and a little product on the ends can make the morning easier. Results depend on your hair.

Satin or silk bonnet

A soft cap that keeps hair together and off the pillow. Good for long, curly or textured hair.

Look for

  • A double layer, so it holds its shape.
  • A wide band that is snug but not tight. A tight band leaves a mark and can slip off.
  • Enough room for your hair. Look for "large" or "jumbo" if your hair is long or thick.
  • An adjustable tie or band, if you are between sizes.

Skip it if you move a lot in your sleep and it falls off. Try a silk pillowcase instead.

Rough estimate, not checked Satin RM8 to RM30, silk RM40 to RM120

Silk hair wrap

A scarf you tie around your hair. It stays on well once you learn the knot.

Look for

  • A length that goes around your head twice.
  • Silk or satin on the inside face.

Skip it if you want something to pull on in two seconds. A bonnet is quicker.

Heatless curl ribbon

A soft rod that you wrap damp or dry hair around before bed. Waves, no heat tool.

Look for

  • A satin cover over soft foam.
  • Satin scrunchies or clips in the set to hold the ends.
  • A length that suits your hair.

Skip it if your hair is very short.

Leave-in hair oil or overnight hair mask

A small amount on the ends before bed, for softer, smoother hair in the morning.

Look for

  • A product made for your hair type (fine, thick, curly or coloured).
  • A full ingredient list on the box or in the listing photos.
  • A Malaysian cosmetic notification number, which starts with "NOT". You can check it on the NPRA website.
  • A seal on the bottle, and a sealed box from the seller.

Skip it if a listing promises hair growth or a cure for hair fall. That is a medical claim, and a cosmetic cannot make it.

Rough estimate, not checked RM15 to RM80

A small tip

Try a new product on a small patch of skin first. Use a small amount on the ends, not the scalp, so the pillowcase stays clean.
