How to: Style your hair in your sleep

The ultimate in low maintenance beauty--just wake up and go.

Just cut your hair and want an easy messy bob? We speak to hair maven Paloma Rose Garcia about how to achieve the perfect 'do while you get your shut-eye.

Option 1

1. Wash your hair in the evening, then spray with sea salt spray if you have fine hair. Skip the product if your hair is thicker.

2. Towel dry hair till it’s only about 30 per cent wet, and go to bed. Letting your hair dry while you toss and turn in your sleep creates root lift as well as texture and movement through the mid-lengths and the ends – it’s best for medium to fine hair that already has a slight wave. “It’s not reliable, though,” Garcia admits. For a more reliable alternative, read on.

Option 2

1. If you have fine hair, spritz with sea salt spray before blasting with a hair dryer. If you have medium to thick hair, no product is needed. 

2. Starting at the nape of the neck, take horizontal sections and wrap around a one-inch tong. Make sure you leave the roots and ends untonged for a natural look. The aim is to create movement rather than curl so mix up the direction of the curls. 

3. Run fingers through the hair to break it up. 

4. For an added tousled texture, add Redken Powder Grip 03 and lightly distribute it throughout the roots.
