Alternatively,silk and satin bonnets and scarvesare a great option to protect your hair when you sleep.

“Wrap your hair in [a] silk or satin turban before sleep,” says Ayesha.

“Keeping your hair up at night is crucial for two reasons,” says Reslan.

“One, it protects fine and fragile hair at the nape that is prone to tangling.

Two, it preserves your hairstyle or blowout by preventing kinks from sleeping on and sweating on hair.

Sleeping on wet hair is not only uncomfortable, but can also cause damage.

“We recommend that people with long hair not sleep with wet hair,” says Ayesha.

“Instead, try a spiral cord hair tie rather than elastic or fabric.”

“These two power products will keep your hair detangled and healthy just before you head to bed.”
