Why You Could Benefit From Sleeping In A Bonnet
Easy to use and good for your hair. What's not to love?
The many girls with curls wear to sleep in. If you have straight hair, you may have never heard of this at all, but trust me when I say that a bonnet really can help maintain healthier, more luscious hair – regardless of what hair type you have.
A bonnet has been a necessity for black women for decades, but now the beauty world has started to understand that we're onto something.
Here are some benefits to wearing a bonnet while you sleep:
Prevent Tangling
When you toss and turn at night, it can cause your hair to get easily tangled. If you have finer straight hair, gently brush out your hair to remove any knots then twist your hair at the top of your head and cover it using a bonnet. For curlier, kinky textures, don`t brush your hair but softly tuck it in your bonnet. By using a bonnet or silk pillowcase, this will help prevent new tangles from forming and making it less stressful in the morning managing your hair.
Minimising Frizz
Wearing a bonnet helps prevent friction while you sleep at night, therefore reducing the amount of frizz you wake up with. Having your hair protected alleviates stress and helps to prevent split ends.
Less Dryness
As much as we love those high thread count cotton sheets, they can absorb moisture from our hair, causing dryness. Besides conditioning our hair after we shampoo to retain moisture, using a bonnet or silk pillowcase will help while you sleep by reducing the chance of breakage.
