"Own Your Bed Head" Project

I was recently contacted by Casper Sleep Mattress to share any tips or tricks I may have for dealing with messy morning hair as part of their "Own Your Bed Head" Project.

Since I have long hair that generally has a mind of its own, I was happy to oblige.

Let's face it, we all wish we could tumble out of bed looking like a Victoria's Secret Model (ok, maybe that's just me), but the sad reality is that not all of us are that lucky. Some of us wake up in the morning looking like a flock of birds made a nest out of our hair (again, maybe that's just me!).

Fed up with spending time de-tangling the ratty mess my hair was every morning, I decided to do something drastically different. No, I did not shave my head, though that would have solved the problem right there!

Honestly, I simply decided to stop sleeping with my hair down at night. I know what you're thinking - why didn't I think to do this in the first place? I guess because it was too obvious.

After having had my "eureka!" moment a few years ago, now I just throw my hair up into a loose bun on top of my head and when I wake up and take out the elastic band, my hair is wavy and no longer a mass of tangles.

Before bed (and washing my face of course!)

How my hair looked this morning after I took it down. No brushing was required! Neither was make-up apparently...eek!

That's really all I do! No special products. No complicated or fancy hair styling. Just a quick, two second bun and voila! No more messy bed head! I have no idea why I didn't do this years ago...
