Put the leave-in product on: For extra hydration, use a hair oil or hydrating leave-in conditioner to the ends of your hair. Hairstyle for the evening: To avoid tangles while you sleep, braid or lightly gather your long hair. Silk pillowcase: To cut down on friction and lessen hair breakage, sleep on a silk pillowcase. Hair masks: To deeply hydrate and nourish your hair, use a deep conditioning hair mask once or twice a week.
