Bed Head:How to Protect your Hair while you Sleep

Have you been waking up to rough, knotty hair or finding your hair on your pillow? When we toss and turn, dragging or rubbing our heads and hair across the fabric of our pillows we can snag the cuticle layer of the hair against the fibers on the pillow. This rubbing results in roughing up the surface of the hair shaft and leads to the tangles and knots.

Here are some tips to keep your hair healthy even while you sleep:
-Sleep with hair in a braid especially if you have long hair or wrap your hair
-Use a silk or satin pillowcase to sleep on
-Use a satin or silk night cap or scarf to tie down hair
-For curly hair, roll your curls and use bobby pins to secure then, this will avoid marking and will cut out the discomfort if you were using rollers
