Nighttime Care

This is one variation of how I prepare my hair for night-time. Sometimes I plait my entire head with two strands but I was very lazy today and it's way too hot so I just used jasmine to moisture the ends and plaited 4 strands in the front, and put my hair up in 3 little bun balls at the back. I cover my hair when I sleep too and I have to invest in a silk pillowcase. The reason my hair looks so shiny is because I added a bit of jasmine hair oil.
I do not take my hair out until I am ready to go out for the day, and when I get home I usually plait my hair right away after detangling and combing through it with a wide toothed comb. It is important to either plait or put the hair at the back of your head in hairbands because that hair is always the shortest with Black people. I think it is because you always sleep on it. I have no idea, but I have to take especially good care of my back hair which is much drier and shorter than the hair in the front. It is initially this hair that will make your hair grow long and this hair will reach your shoulders first; so it is wise to invest a lot of time and moisture into the back of your hair\nape. I recommend plaiting it and securing it with bobby pins if it is really short, or keeping the back hair in a separate hairband at night with some coconut oil or jojoba oil. This hair is very stubborn and grows last, but it's growth is most important because it grows longer and the rest of your hair will grow thicker and grow "up" not down. If you want LONG hair, grow your back hair and keep it from breaking\splitting with deep conditioning treatments 2x a month.
