Beauty prep is practically endless. We may be loosely paraphrasing but it seems that sometimes life is what happens while you’re busy sorting your beauty schedule.

From face mask Monday to fake tan Thursday, there are endless prep steps on our to-do lists and they can be damn tiring. So tiring, in fact, that sometimes you’re just dying to skip the lengthy evening glow-up session and go straight to bed.
But, we understand – sometimes you need a good eight hours rest and glossy locks for the next day. Well, it turns out the two aren’t mutually exclusive after all. Think it sounds too good to be true? It’s not. Meet overnight masks.
They may not specify ‘overnight’ on the packaging, but these hydrating, hair-healing treatments can absolutely be left in while you catch some z’s – they literally work whilst you rest, and in the morning your mane will feel as refreshed as you do.

You say: “Dream to use. Not weighing hair down either. It is super light, so I use it not-sparingly. Just adore the whole experience: from scent to transforming my fur fuzz ball into something healthy looking and manageable and sleek.” – Yohanna

L’Oréal Paris Botanicals Coriander Strengthening Potion
We say: Just as your mind and body needs adequate time to recoup each night, so does your hair. Avoid brittle and fragile strands from taking over and enlist the help of L’Oreal’s coriander-rich formula to revitalise and strengthen your mane.

Redken Diamond Oil Shatterproof Shine Intense
We say: It works well for blow dries, but that doesn’t mean it’s not amazing for bedtime too. Let it hit strands with a super-shot of shine while you get some shuteye.
You say: “This is an amazing hair oil. My hair sometimes looks dry and dull but this oil changed that. It is a transparent yellow serum that feels slippery when first applied onto hair but it soaks in quickly and doesn’t cause greasiness” – pixie96

I like the sound of the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Night Cap Overnight Perfector but I already have a number of overnight oils and treatments to use.
The living proof mask from Mecca looks so good
omg, can't wait to try Wella's serum listed! Just ordered it in the latest RR! =D
How was it?
Just olaplex. But it is enough to leave it on for 90 min to 3 hours most. Just using Pump thickening mask too, still to use it overnight.
Been seeing a lot of coconut oil in articles lately.
I’ve used Olaplex in my hair overnight before works a treat.
The Palmers coconut oil hair mask sounds nice
It sounds lovely!
I haven't tried a hair mask. I have a very sensitive scalp so I'm not sure could use one without irritation.
Even an average conditioner left in overnight makes your hair better by morning. Proper hair masks are better, though. I sleep with my hair plaited & shampoo out in the morning.
I love Aesop’s Rose hair mask.
Same here, love it!
gggrrrr….I have a bottle of the Redken Diamond Oil Elixer….where is it? I have no idea. I moved it and as I did I thought to myself 'Dont forget that you put it there'…..then I forgot that I put it there and now I have no idea where there is and I cant find it 🙁
I would love to try the Diamond Oil looks and sounds impressive and just what my hair needs atm.
I love Redkin!!! I've tried Palmers and noticed a difference in my hair too
At the moment it is coming into a Very Cold Winter so I wouldn't be wearing a hair mask but it would be great in Summer Time, to have a hair mask on all night.
Will keep this in mind for the Summer Months.
I am doing a hair treatment tonight, my hair needs it.
I've used the Eleven Australia serum and was very impressed
Oh I love it! You are not alone. Can't find lots of things I put somewhere 'special' to remind myself to use. One of them is the Palmer's Coconut Mask mentioned in the article. Don't worry it will show up eventually.
I've used the Palmers hair treatment and found it feels lovely, beautiful scent, my hair feels great afterwards, and it's economical.
This article has reminded me to do a hair mask or treatment. Thanks Bh 🙂
ELEVEN Australia Miracle Hair Treatment is pretty good, but Wella SP LuxeOil is just magnificent! It leaves your hair feeling soooooooo soft, and it smells amazing! I’ve used up several bottles of this. It’s not cheap, but the bottle goes a long way, and you really do get what you pay for. I must buy myself some more when I get around to it.
I've used the Palmers mask but not overnight, and to be honest I liked it but I'm a bit hazy so to me that means not a miracle worker. It might be different if used overnight though.
EDITED. Just checked my review and I have used it overnight and it worked better so I do recommend it. I gave it four stars. LOL
I love hair oil
I do like the sound of these products!
I like hair masks but have never used an overnight one before.
Sounds good. I love most Palmer's products so I am going to try this.
Loved checking out the hair products that bh beauties like to use!
Thanks. That reminds me I have some Palmers coconut masks put away that I haven't tried yet. Good job for today.
I need to try this Redken shine intense product, I like the sound of this one!!
Tried the Eleven miracle hair treatment and it was so nice & the scent was lovely!
The coconut palmer's oil looks good.
They all sound good – will have to check them out.
L'Oréal botanicals sounds nice
Love hair treatments. Might check some of these out.
Thanks for the information, I would like to try a few
A few of these have been added to my wishlist!! I love my hair feeling silky and shiny.
lol so glad it's not just me that does that! xo
What brand it is Chrystalage?!
Sometimes I put my hair up in a very high bun so it's on top of my head and doesn't get in the way of my sleeping or go on my face and tangle me all up. It could help with a overnight treatment too.
I like the sounds of the Revlon Diamond Oil from reading Pixie's review on it. Not greasy sounds really good!
I toss and turn when I sleep, I can imagine this gets really messy.
Me too, I can't imagine the state of my pillow afterwards or getting it all over your face
I would like to try the Palmer’s one. I bet it smells nice!
I'd be interested in an overnight scalp treatment
These are some wonderful hair products featured!
I haven’t tried any of these products. Might need to look into an overnight hair treatment.
