Furiously hitting the snooze button while craving a few more minutes of shut-eye would work a lot better if we didn’t have an hour’s worth of a beauty regime ahead of us. Yes, this one is for all the non-morning girls out there. A controlled mane is hard to achieve, especially if one tries to style it overnight.

And bed head doesn’t quite work when it is not the look you were going for in the first place. That’s why YouTube hair gurus are just a click away. We’ve dug through the dungeons of the internet and hunted down the best DIY overnight hair tutorials that will help you lock in those heatless curls or hold on to the frizz-free straightening, all while you’re getting those extra precious minutes of beauty sleep!
