The pineapple method could be considered the holy grail for curl preservation. Positioning your hair so that the ends are facing upwards in a "pineapple" helps with reducing friction on your extensions. Less friction means less frizz. Using a satin scarf to stabilize your pineapple helps with protecting your edges and maintaining curl definition. A satin scarf is also a more stylish approach to taking care of your kinky curly extensions. Who says you can't look and feel good in your sleep?

If you like to keep it simple, sleeping with a satin pillowcase is the option for you! Kinky curly extensions are fragile and sleeping with a cotton pillowcase can cause breakage, and strip your hair of essential oils. A satin pillowcase does the opposite. It coats your hair with protection because it reduces frizz and locks in moisture.  This low maintenance method will help you fall asleep knowing that bedhead is not waiting for you in the morning.
