If you have brothers or sisters who take showers in the morning, and there is only one shower, take a shower before you go to bed.
If it's hot out, don't sleep with the covers, and sleep with the sheets instead! Wash your hair every other day.
Washing it too often can strip natural oils and cause frizziness.
