How to Sleep With Hair Extensions, 8 Tips to Try

For those of you who haven't tried hair extensions before, you may be wondering “how to sleep comfortably with hair extensions”, and the answer is, of course, you can. If you want to try hair extensions but have worries about sleeping with them, I've come up with a few tips in this post that will not only help you sleep comfortably, but you won't have to deal with tangled, frizzy hair.

First of all, there are many different types of hair extensions. clip in extensions are the most convenient and can be easily put on and removed with the little clips that come with the extensions, so if you like to relax your scalp while you sleep, clip in extensions are the way to go. However, for permanent hair extensions such as tape in hair extensions, weft hair extensions, i tip hair extensions, etc., which are usually worn for a few weeks to a few months after installation, then I think this post will be useful for you.

Brush Hair Before Going to Bed

Whether you wear hair extensions or not, I recommend that you use a wide-toothed comb to smooth your hair before going to bed, as this will prevent tangles while you sleep.

Use Silk or Satin Pillowcases

I recommend switching to silk or satin pillowcases if you're on a budget. These two materials are very silky and help prevent tangles and frizz in your hair and hair extensions.

Use a Bonnet or Silky Scarf

Wrapping your hair in a bonnet or silk scarf, a method similar to using a silk pillow, is effective in minimizing friction and keeping your hair in place. Silk is so comfortable to the touch that sleeping with a bonnet is almost impossible to feel.

Avoid Sleeping With Wet Hair

Sleeping with wet hair not only causes tangles, it can also cause migraines. If you have washed your hair before going to bed please use a hair dryer to dry your hair thoroughly, be careful to always dry your scalp but pay attention to the temperature setting, too high a temperature may affect the adhesion of the tape in hair extensions.

Braid or Tie It Up

Before bed, braid your hair in loose braids or tie it up in a loose bun. Depending on your sleeping position you can choose the appropriate hairstyle such as two braids, buns, etc. This will prevent your hair from tangling and protect the extensions.

Make Sure Your Hair Extensions Are Secure

If you have clip-in hair extensions, consider removing them before you go to bed to ensure you have a restful night's sleep. For permanent hair extensions, like tap-ins and i-tips you can check for any looseness before going to bed to ensure a stable installation.

Maintain Regular Care

Follow the recommended care instructions to wash and condition your hair and wig regularly. If you need a washing guide, check out this blog: How To Wash Hair Extensions? - A Comprehensive Guide.

Use a Leave-in Conditioner or Smoothing Spray

Using a small amount of leave-in conditioner or smoothing gel spray can help keep your hair and extensions smooth and reduce the likelihood of tangles overnight.
