This Viral "Sleepy Tie" Saves My Blowout Overnight
The Sleepy Tie hairband has recently gone viral on TikTok.
The band preserves your blowout while you sleep.
Our editor tested it out and took before and after photos.
I am not a graceful sleeper. You know Sleeping Beauty? Picture the exact opposite of that, thrashing and tossing around for seven hours straight, and you'll have a pretty good idea of how I sleep. It's disruptive — not just for me and my partner's sleep cycle, but for my hair, too. When I style it or get a blowout at the salon, I know up front that it's only going to last me the day. One night's sleep leaves me with a halo of frizz around my hairline and flattened curls. To try to remedy this, I've attempted my fair share of overnight styling hacks but with very little luck. I had accepted my fate until I saw the Sleepy Tie ($30) on my TikTok FYP.

The hair accessory looks like two jumbo scrunchies together, but it does so much more. The creator of the Sleepy Tie designed it in a way to preserve your blowout overnight while simultaneously keeping your hair up and out of your face. Whether my hair is done or not, I sleep with it up in a silk scrunchie, but it does nothing for the style — it's purely functional.
This special hair tie seemed easy enough to use and didn't require any extra steps in my nighttime routine, so I figured why not give it a shot? When I opened the packaging, I was a little afraid I wouldn't be able to figure out how to put it in, but the instructions were simple to read and came with photos, thankfully.
