Top 5 benefits of wearing a sleep cap

If you’re unfamiliar with contemporary sleep caps, you may well be imagining something fairly retro. As @sleepopolis says, “Men and women have been donning sleep caps for centuries. While fashions have certainly changed over the decades, modern sleep caps can still have many benefits for sleepers with a wide array of needs.”

Luckily, today’s sleep caps are a lot more stylish and a lot more practical. Designed to help retain your hairstyle and enhance your locks, they’re a great option for anyone who wants to wake up with a great ‘do.

1. Protects your hairstyle

One of the main reasons that people wear sleep caps is to protect their hairstyle. If you’ve recently had your wig or your natural hair professionally cut, styled, or dried, you’ll probably want to preserve that salon-fresh look for as long as possible.

Wearing a sleep cap when you go to bed at night prevents your perfectly coiffed locks from rubbing on your pillow and ensures your hair looks as good as possible when you wake up in the morning.

2. Prevents split ends

Split ends are a problem for a lot of people. If you have a wig made from natural hair, you may well experience this issue as well. Split ends can make your hair look duller and drier than it really is. It can also cause hair to look more frizzy and less styled.

Wearing a sleep cap at night will stop your hair being damaged by friction when you turn over and move around in your sleep. This can go a long way to preventing split ends.

3. Helps to keep your hair hydrated

Wearing a sleep cap can help to prevent your hair from becoming dried out and ensure it always looks rich and hydrated. This is because it prevents friction and rubbing, two things that can make hair look a lot drier and more brittle than it really is. When you wake up in the morning after wearing a sleep cap, your hair will feel noticeably softer and more hydrated.

4. Keeps you warm at night

If you find you often get chilly in the night, a sleep cap can be a great way of regulating your temperature. We lose a considerable amount of heat from our heads, especially at night, so covering up your scalp is an excellent way of staying warm.

5. Means you wake up ready for the day

If you like to wake up as late as possible, wearing a sleep cap will help you get ready for the day in record time. As your hairstyle will be ready to go, you won’t have to spend time brushing, combing, and taming your locks. This means you’ll be able to get ready for work, school, or your day out quickly, and can fit in a few extra minutes of beauty sleep.
