I'm an admitted sleepyhead. Sure, when I was younger, I had this whole I'll-sleep-when-I'm-dead attitude, but that went out the window once I graduated from college, entered the workforce (therefore having no choice but to get up, even when I'd only gotten two hours of shut-eye), and had a child (which essentially constitutes giving up sleep for about 18 years!). Once sleep transformed into this guilty pleasure of sorts, it became that much sexier. But with so much to do and so many responsibilities, how can you any gal check off everything on her to-do list, catch up on her Zs and look good?
Well, no one ever said you had to go to the salon every few weeks for a deep conditioning treatment (which eats up a lot of your time, not to mention funds). You can do that at home and, thanks to Redken's Real Control Overnight Treat, launching in November, you can even moisturize your mane while you sleep. Now that's the type of multitasking I adore!
Hair masks and deep conditioners are great and all, but nine times out of ten, they involve washing your hair, applying a concoction and massaging it into your scalp, waiting 20 minutes (sometimes under a dryer), and rinsing off, to then dry and style your hair. It's not a process for those pressed for time, okay?
Redken's Real Control Overnight Treat, meanwhile, can be applied to dry or damp hair (three cheers for that alone), and it literally works while your head is pressing against that pillow, seeping into those hair cuticles and working its magic.
The product's formula focuses on three things: repairing any damage through the usage of protein ceramide, moisturizing dull locks with cataionic conditioners, and taming your hair with shea butter, which smooths away frizz. Just use one or two pumps (depending on the length and thickness of your hair), apply from scalp to ends, and tuck yourself into that bed. When you awake in the morning, you can rinse the product off or just style your hair and keep it moving (and there's no sticky residue or gel-like helmet head, so the latter really IS an option).
Now go pretend you're Sleeping Beauty — well, minus the whole waiting-for-a-kiss bit!
