How to Pineapple Your Hair Overnight

Gather your curls loosely at the very top of your head with a silk scrunchie to prevent crushing while you sleep.

1. Position the gather. Flip your head upside down and gather all your hair at the highest point of your head. Think fountain, not ponytail. The goal is to keep curls off your pillow without creating tension.
2. Secure gently. Use a silk or satin scrunchie to hold everything in place with minimal pressure. Cotton elastics will snag and create dents. The hold should be loose enough that you could slip a finger underneath easily.
3. Prep your pillowcase. Switch to silk or satin pillowcase if you have one. The smooth surface reduces friction that causes frizz and breakage while you move around in sleep.
