How to make hair look good in the morning when you shower at night?

How to do it: "The easiest way for most women to make their hair look pretty the next day is to put it in a ponytail and wrap it into a twist," says Licari. Then, wrap the hair as close to the top of the head as possible. In the morning, when you remove the hair elastic, you'll have a nice wave and lots of lift.

At night, do you dream of picture-perfect hair as soon as you wake up? Lucky for you, it can be a reality, and it doesn't require too much work. We asked Louis Licari, a Today Show beauty contributor and celeb colorist, to share some nighttime routines for perfect hair the next morning. His tips couldn't be any easier: How to do it: "The easiest way for most women to make their hair look pretty the next day is to put it in a ponytail and wrap it into a twist," says Licari. Then, wrap the hair as close to the top of the head as possible. In the morning, when you remove the hair elastic, you'll have a nice wave and lots of lift. For even wavier hair, do this a few times into mini buns all over your head. Brush out the ringlets with your fingers in the morning. However, if you wake up with a huge crease in your hair from the hair tie, it's way too tight. Use a softer wrap or one less loop, suggests Licari, to avoid any unsightly bends that require extra time to get out. Fix any indentations with hair spray or a spritz of water.

In the morning, set the look with some dry shampoo (which will also add volume), and you're good to go.

The Goal: Create perfect waves using wet hair.

How to do it: If you prefer to shower at night, use that wet hair to your advantage. But first things first: Once you step out of the shower, how are you drying? If you're using the same towel as your body, you could be doing some serious damage to your hair. Not only can rough towels cause breakage, but towels are full of something your hair does not want — static electricity. Instead, dry your hair with a T-shirt. After you've removed most of the moisture from your hair, then you can start prepping for your beauty sleep. To start, "think of your head as a big roller," says Licari, and use that to your advantage. If you have curly hair, wrap it all around your head and use large clips to keep it in place. In the morning you'll wake up with straighter locks, no heat required. If you want to add a wave to straight hair, nothing will add texture better than a braid (or a few braids). Set hair in a lose plait and wrap it around your head as much as you can. To prevent even more frizz, you can also wrap your head in a silk headwrap and gently dry when you wake up. In the morning, remove your braid and comb through your hair with you fingers. Set with your favorite hairspray.
