Nobody has twenty minutes in the morning for a styling iron. The secret is in what you do the night before, not the morning of.
Step 1: swap your pillowcase for satin or silk. Cotton pulls moisture out of your hair and causes tangles and frizz; satin lets your hair glide instead of rubbing.
Step 2: braid your hair loosely before bed. A low, loose braid gives you soft waves the next morning, no heat needed.
Step 3: use a small amount of hair oil on the ends only, never at the roots. That prevents frizz without making your hair look greasy.
Step 4: never tie your hair up tightly before sleeping. A tight tie pulls on your roots and can contribute to hair thinning along the hairline over time.
Step 5: in the morning, a bit of dry shampoo at the roots and a few finger-combs through your hair. Done.
