Whether you rock a hair topper or full wig by day, taking care of your scalp and natural hair at night is a must. One way you can do just that is by wearing a sleep cap.
There are many advantages to donning a sleep cap for bed every night, with those wearing a wig daily or on occasion able to reap several rewards. Here we take a closer look at why wearing a sleep cap should be a part of your routine.
Hair maintenance is made easy by wearing a sleep cap. Not everyone sleeps like a baby after all, with the average person tossing and turning up to 40 times per night! Wearing a sleep cap will keep your natural hair free from the tangles and knots caused by a night of restless sleep, meaning you can wake up and affix your wig quickly come the morning.
For people with naturally curly hair, the extra coverage offered by a sleep cap will help preserve your look as well as cut the amount of time you spend styling your hair and preparing for wig wear.
If you wear a wig to counter the effects of temporary hair loss, there’s more good news! A sleep cap actively promotes the growth of new hair and reduces the risk of hair loss, keeping those delicate follicles protected and moisturised.
Split ends may be a common occurrence, but with sleep cap wear, you can protect your natural hair and prevent the dryness and dullness that goes hand-in-hand with breakages.
Friction between your hair and the pillow is non-existent when wearing a sleep cap. This means there’s less hair loss, fewer split ends, and improved hair growth so that your hair can continue its recovery.
Unbeknown to most, wearing your hair loose at night can wreak havoc with your skin, especially if you love your product! Dermal technician Darlene O’Gara reveals how what you put on your hair could transfer onto your skin with negative results:
“Certain ingredients in hair care products can result in acne, rashes, allergic reactions, dryness and oiliness on the skin. But it’s not just the products you need to be aware of. The way you wear your hair can impact your skin quality, too. Hair worn down around the face or fringes brushing the forehead can result in the transfer of oil from the hair (or hair products) to the skin.”
By sweeping your hair away from your face and covering it with a sleep cap, you can preserve skin and hair health.
With the weather still on the cool side, the benefits of wearing a sleep cap continue. With added insulation on your head, you’ll be cosier, more comfortable and better prepared to enjoy a great night’s sleep.
