If I wash at night I put my hair in a loose pineapple and a bonnet. My hair falls out of the pineapple in the back so the bonnet catches those. My bonnet is probably too big because my hair doesn't stay on top of my head in the bonnet without putting it up.
I tried a bonnet on Amazon and was so annoyed because it’s too small and squished my curls ugh - also it was double lined … so it was so stuffy in there!! So now I pineapple! Silk pillowcase too!
Speaking from experience: DO NOT SLEEP ON WET HAIR like Gena said! When I 1st switched to night time washing, I was an air dry person. So after styling, I'd be up for another 30 min, maybe an hour, but my hair dries very slowly, and an hour of air drying was literally almost nothing. I'd lay my hair carefully behind me over my pillow and sleep on my back. Due to neck injuries, I actually stay on my back the whole night, I don't move, it's like my body knows not to or it aggravates my injuries. Anyhow, this means that the entire under layer of my hair would be wet in the morning still. Very wet. I did this for a little over 3 years. I ended up with hygral fatigue in that layer - the REAL hygral fatigue is not simply moisture overload. Hygral fatigue is when the outer layer of your hair has been FULLY compromised. I had irreversible damage throughout most of the layer. It's been about 18 months & heavy TLC & several cuts later, I'm finally seeing improvement. I actually have curl coming back underneath, though the bottom most bits are still highly damaged as the damage from hygral fatigue can move up the shaft, causing extremely high porosity even in areas that weren't compromised due to hygral fatigue. Hygral fatigue is damage caused by repeated swelling of the hair shaft, and highly damaged hair can be printed to it because after the wetting done by washing, the cuticle may have a hard time closing back down. My hair wasn't damaged on it's own, but rather sleeping on it wet damaged it. My hair remained swelled open for several hours almost daily (I used to wash my hair almost every day🤦🏽♀️). So PLEASE do not sleep on wet hair!!
I’d love to see how you deal with pulling hair back for a gym workout? I frequent the gym and usually do a soft scrunchie, but would love a video on your recs for this.
I agree, would love to know any tips and tricks. I have to wet my hair completely, add leave in conditioner, then apply gel and place it in a ponytail. Every day is hair care day for me.
I usually shower at night, and am thankful for the tips! I always pineapple - even when I had straight hair, it needed to be out of the way at night - but don't normally wear a bonnet because I don't like things tight on my head. I ought to try a style that ties!
Thank you so much for this! Due to work, I prefer to shower and wash my hair at night. I have really been struggling with ways to keep my (transitioning) wavy hair even half as cute and frizz-free the next day as it looks when I first style it!
Hello Gorgeous..Gena yes I would love to hear how to go to bed w/wet hair in the winter months 🥶🥺 but then, I had to go buy a diffuser..🤗 and now since we move our time up it's even shorter 🙄 ...it's still cold hear in Dallas Tx..but thank you for sharing what works for you and great ideas 🥰
so excited to watch this, i’ve been struggling with preserving my curls !! is it bad to refresh your hair everyday with a little water or refresh spray ? sometimes i need to but i’m not sure if it’s bad for my hair health to do it everyday
I have to refresh or do a full hair routine daily unless I am willing to look like a wild woman. Now it's long enough to pull into a ponytail so on occasion I do that.
Thank you Gena! So is the bonnet kind of tight in the back of your head, to keep the curls from falling down off the top? You're so helpful, and those curls are Poppin!!! ❤️
I just got the same hairdryer a few months ago and I love it! My only complaint is that I wish “cool” was one of the heat settings instead of a button you have to constantly hold down. Love your videos! I always learn so much!
I’m am truly glad people found a dryer they love! Personally, I found it loud, heavy, blows too hot and too hard on the low settings, and, as you mentioned, no cool setting! And I prefer my Orchid Diffuser. The original Dyson omitted it too, so I can only assume they copied it to the letter and that’s why. They didn’t notice they added it later on. Only in models made in the last 2 years have they manufactured them with a zero heat full time setting. I had an earlier one I bought in 2019, one of the pink and gun metal ones, and the lowest setting was one light, and I returned it. For me, that was a dealbreaker, because my T3 has an always on coolshot which is the best, because you can quickly go back and forth.
Is this bonnet the slippery silk material on the inside? I can’t find a silk bonnet with the slipper silk on the inside the part that actually touches your hair 😢❤ if it does this would be great because I love the small size!
Omg I need to look into that bonnet. It is so hard for me to find a bonnet that isn't too big for my hair, so I often just put my hair up in a half-pineapple. Only only issue with bonnets and caps is that I don't like things over my ears when I sleep, which does make it harder to keep on my head. I'm a light sleeper, and having something over my ears makes things echo and keep me awake.
It’s the most comfortable one I’ve tried because it doesn’t have an elastic rim! Also, I can’t stand anything over my ears either so I put it behind them. It stays on for me which is surprising since the only elastic is on the back area
I like them both! Satin is more affordable and is a type of weave versus a material. Satin is usually made from a synthetic material such as polyester. Silk is a natural material, such as Mulberry silk which is the higher quality. It has a softer feeling, is breathable, and is fast-drying. I've noticed that my satin pillowcases get more snags and worn out after weekly washing, whereas silk holds up. Hope that helps! I could do a video or blog post comparing. It's really just your preference and budget 😊
I would love to use a bonnet, but I have to use a CPap machine while sleeping. So the face mask goes around my head. Does anyone know if it would be slip sliding all around thru the night on top of the silk?
That's a great question. Perhaps someone who has experience with this in the comments can chime in. Silk does have a soft, shiny appearance so it's possible. However it seems that a silk bonnet would help protect your hair from breakage that could occur from the strap friction. I would definitely recommend at least a silk pillowcase to reduce friction if you don't already have one.
wow!! i'm vegan so i don't want to use silk. i have a silk-like bonnet (made from polyester) but it's horrible, my hair goes static, flat and goooooone is the curl definition lol
Silk sounds nice and all, but I just can't handle the animal cruelty silk brings. The thought of all those caterpillars being boiled alive in their coccoon, never even becoming the butterfly they worked so hard for...I just hate the thought of that. I sleep on quality satin, it works great for me. I've heard good reviews about bamboo too. I don't think the results differ much, but it's cheaper and cruelty free. These tips are next level though, thanks Gena.
as someone who does buy animal products, do you have a good vegan head covering for sleeping you use? the bonnets look cool but I'm not sure where to start looking lol!
Boar bristle brushes come from the hairs of boars, an animal. They create the most tension on the hair, which creates good clumps. However, they can also cause breakage for fine hair or damaged hair due to the rough texture and the tension. For those that don't want to use products sourced from animals and/or want a potentially less damaging brush, a vegan bristle brush like the Brioegeo one is made from synthetic material but has a similar design.

I have a Lily Silk Bonnet! The bigger one with elastic all around, the Double Luxury. it’s a bit big for my head, maybe I will try this one!
Gena, why have you not applied for Sephora Squad !? You are so deserving and
I would surly vote for you 🤍.

Thank you so much for sharing! I have been researching more about this so it's great to hear your firsthand experience.
Wow, that’s an awful experience but thanks for sharing - I know many people think it’s a good idea to sleep with conditioner on their hair.
My head sweats at night. A lot. I hope this doesn't happen to me.

I recently bought the scrunchit brush and that has helped me speed up styling timeva bit.
I also have to refresh everyday
My head is small it always falls off and have to refresh every morning
@@irmaradinson2320 your head fall off? 😟
Thank you Gena! So is the bonnet kind of tight in the back of your head, to keep the curls from falling down off the top? You're so helpful, and those curls are Poppin!!! ❤️
LUCKY being sponsored by Lilly silk is any curly girls dream. I just love all of their products 😍😍. I have purchased their bonnet and love it.
Thank you!! i'm really loving their stuff! I was going to purchase it soon anyways because I hear great things 🥰
@@GenaMarie yes and your pick on your pajama color 😍absolutely beautiful. I can not wait to upgrade my satin pillow case with theirs 🤍.
@@rachellep2581 thank you!
Is it reversible? I want to see if the slippery silk part can be on the inside instead of the outside ❤😊
Awesome tutorial Gena! Thank ya for being amazing 🤗
Thanks for watching each week, Kathy! 🥰
Do you have any videos on different hairstyles for jobs that require your hair up??
I just got the same hairdryer a few months ago and I love it! My only complaint is that I wish “cool” was one of the heat settings instead of a button you have to constantly hold down. Love your videos! I always learn so much!
Thank you! And yes I totally agree on the cool shot button

I couldn't click on this fast enough!!! I HAVE to have my wash days at night!!
Can you do a styling video w a deeper part- so there can get more volume on top
What were your final thoughts on the Function of Beauty products you tried? I currently have the shampoo and conditioner.
I really like them! Especially the deep conditioner!
Thank you Gena Marie. :)
Hi Gena, would you consider the shampoo and conditioner a strong scent?
Thank you.
No, not too strong but there is a fragrance.
What are your thoughts about silk vs. satin? I sleep on a satin pillowcase and I really like it. Is silk better?
I like them both! Satin is more affordable and is a type of weave versus a material. Satin is usually made from a synthetic material such as polyester.

@@GenaMarie Thank you for the comparison! I might have to try silk and see if I like it better. 😊
love your curls
For me I cannot sleep w a cast because I wake up w my hair a mess. I need to scrunch it out before I sleep on it.
I cannot embrace the bonnet...i still willow with a scrunchie and hope doe the best....
*0:04** Gena you are so breathtakingly gorgeous 😍😍💕💖*
Thank you!
Does the knot on the tie bother you when you sleep? I sometimes sleep on my back to begin with
Are gels not good for your hair?
It also doubles as birth control. LOL. Wearing a bonnet to bed I mean. 🤣
I think so too
😄😄
Hahaha❣️But TRUE! 🥰
Do the bonnets have different sizes?
do you diffuse on a cool setting then??
No I use the warm and hot. I finish with the cool setting.
I would love to use a bonnet, but I have to use a CPap machine while sleeping. So the face mask goes around my head. Does anyone know if it would be slip sliding all around thru the night on top of the silk?

No matter what I do my bonnet always falls of :(

Same! Try good quality satin, or bamboe :D It's much better than the cruelty silk brings.
@@Lulu-xl5cm oh!!! bamboo! never thought of that, thank you! going to try it
Can you link me a video for how you hover diffuse?
Sure! ruclips.net/video/qLfGNv-tLBA/видео.html
Hello friend good morning stay connected Like 531
Best way to take care of hair is to just cut them off. Bam. No more maintenance. Live life stress free, do better things in life.
I think your hair likes no curl crème in the winter!
Silk sounds nice and all, but I just can't handle the animal cruelty silk brings. The thought of all those caterpillars being boiled alive in their coccoon, never even becoming the butterfly they worked so hard for...I just hate the thought of that. I sleep on quality satin, it works great for me. I've heard good reviews about bamboo too. I don't think the results differ much, but it's cheaper and cruelty free. These tips are next level though, thanks Gena.
as someone who does buy animal products, do you have a good vegan head covering for sleeping you use? the bonnets look cool but I'm not sure where to start looking lol!
Did she just say vegan brush? lol wtf

Lili silk has bad views that they take your money and never send the merchandise
