Pressed for time? Trim some precious minutes off your morning routine with these genius tricks that prep your hair to style itself overnight.

1. If You Want: Bombshell Volume
To get hair voluminous overnight, Oribe Hair Care Educator Adam Livermore suggests first spraying volumizing spray, such as Oribe Volumista on your clean hair and then blow dry.Then whack a few big hot rollers in it, and kick back and watch 'Grey's Anatomy'

Right before bed, take out the rollers and wrap your hair loosely in a high topknot with a cloth elastic (to prevent creasing). When, you get up, shake it out and apply Oribe Thick Dry Finishing Spray.

2. If You Want: Straight Strands
For long straight, sleek hair come morning, Edward Tricomi of Warren-Tricomi Salons suggests blowing out your hair the night before—but don't flatiron it. Then, gather hair into a ponytail.

Trick: Stretch out one or two cotton balls and wrap them around to “pad” the part of your hair that will be touching the elastic. This will keep your hair from getting the ponytail crease overnight, When you wake up, take out the ponytail

Prep hair with a heat-protecting product, (we like Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Heat Protect Spray) and go over quickly with a flatiron. Yes, this will take a few moments in the a.m.,

but the reason you didn't do this the night before, Tricomi explains, is to avoid unnecessary damage by flat ironing twice. Gerard Caruso, celebrity hairstylist and artistic director of RUSK, suggests another way to keep strands sleek while you sleep ..

..is to wrap into a loose bun after blow-drying and secure with large bobby pins. Then, wrap a silk scarf around your head to keep hair smooth and in place. Spritz with a finishing spray. Caruso recommends Rusk Thermal Shine Spray.

3. If You Want: Beachy Waves
The key to beachy waves? Braids. Wash your hair at night and then rough drying a little bit, but not all the way through. Then, either French braid your hair or split hair into two and do two separate braids.

Your hair should dry overnight, so that when you wake up and take the braids out, you’ll be left with pretty waves. Flip your head over and blow dry a bit to add some volume.

Take L'Oréal Professionnel True Grip and mix it in your hands with L'Oréal Professionnel Volumetry Root Spray and then loosely run through your hair adding volume and texture.

If you have natural wave, first smooth a little Oribe Crème For Style into damp hair right before you go to bed. When you wake up you'll have a cool lazy wave that might be distorted in a few places, he says, so fix the worst pieces by quickly wrapping them around a curling iron

Then, with a salt spray such as Nuance Salma Hayek Texturizing Sea Salt Spray, spray up into hair from the ends while you shake it around. You'll have super easy, sexy waves and be out the door in five minutes flat !!!
