Q&A for How to Get Wavy Hair Overnight

Your hair must be completely dry in the morning for any of these techniques to work, as wet hair cannot hold the style. For thick hair, it's best to dampen it with a spray bottle rather than starting with wet hair. If you do wake up with hair that's still wet, you can dry it with a diffuser.

You can use a double barrel curling iron to create waves. As another alternative, put your damp hair in boxer braids, then let it dry. When you unbraid it, your hair should retain waves.

Yes. Just use a bit more water.

French braid it tightly and go to sleep. By the time you wake up and undo the braids, your hair will be wavy. I recommend putting a serum on your hair so it will look soft and natural.

Try to straighten the curls and try one of the methods above. I would recommend the sock bun.

You can't automatically get natural curls, but you can use methods for making temporary curls that appear natural. You can use a sock bun, or any of the article's methods but you need to keep them in for more time, and when you twist the hair, twist it more tightly.

Tight braids overnight, either french or dutch, should do it.

Your hair might be too short or too dry for the methods. Try using a setting spray before going to sleep. This helps the curls and waves to set better. Alternatively, you can use a setting spray or gel immediately after you let your hair loose.

You could twist your hair tighter so the curls become more springy instead of wavy, or you could just sleep with your hair in tight braids to make it nice and curly.

You can use a hair straightener and twist it or use hair-curlers. You can also try to style it with a hair curling iron.

It should. Just dampen it like you would with normal hair.

After you undo your hair and style it how you want it, you can spray hairspray, which will help it stay curled, and prevent it from turning puffy.

No, water is all you would need. If the hair is sticking out, you can always secure it with bobby pins.

Do one of the methods above while your hair is dry, or just do loose French braids.

Yes, dry hair would still work. But, making it damp would be more effective and help your hair to have more defined waves.

It will make curls but it will definitely not look like beach waves, try doing two braids.

Technically, yes, you can. Your hair will be curly, but still very wet in the morning.
