Speaking of fabrics, if you don't have a silk or satin pillowcase — like the Slip Satin Zippered Pillowcase ($89) — we highly recommend investing in one since these are much easier on your curls than a regular, cotton pillowcases. "Sleeping on silk pillowcases is always a good idea for your hair, especially in winter when you want to retain as much moisture as you can," Taylor said.
Satin pillowcases aren't always cheap, so alternatively if you're not ready to spend the money on one, or even if you feel like you want some extra protection throughout the night, you could always buy a satin scarf or head wrap to sleep in that'll work just as well.
