Written by Ren

It'll come as no surprise to you, but if you've been following our Seven Days of Bed Hair tips you'll be left in no doubt that perfect bed hair requires a lot of work. Bleach, blow drying, products, sprays and mouses are all being used. So how do you make sure that your hair doesn't get damaged in the process?

Day 4 – Protecting your Bed Hair

Well our next and very useful suggestion comes from Smash Potato - a talented make-up artist from Sydney.

She says that the best way to get the perfect bed hair is to do as follows:

* Clean your hair with shampoo
* Straighten or blow dried hair
* However make sure you use a heat protector and a shine spray

PPS heat protector and Bed Heads heat protector are the recommended brands because they both smell amazing. Further touching up can be done with spraying the roots of your hair with a beach spray such as Wella salt spritz.

Let your hair dry in the sunshine then either scrunch or tease bits of your hair and leave some combed out.

However she does warn that everyone's hair is different and may be altered by dyed or chemically straightened, so test run a few products first.
