Sleep can have many beauty-related advantages for your appearance; it can improve skin quality and even help make you appear younger.
Sleep can also help protect against hair loss and thin tresses, so in this article we’ll look at its role in hair health as a priority for everyone.
Dry Hair
Doing something consistently each night to maintain healthy, shiny locks year round will go far toward combatting frizz, dry scalp, or frizzy locks is essential if you want a beautiful sleep regimen that works. Though no studies have confirmed a single night of poor quality sleep will cause hair loss, reduced sleep can cause hormonal imbalances that negatively impact both the health of your scalp and hair.
Stress, anxiety, illness and pain can all play a part in disrupting one’s sleep pattern; so too can medical conditions like restless leg syndrome and chronic insomnia. Even something as simple as taking a hot shower or using heat-styling tools in the morning may impede quality restful slumber at night – these tips should help ensure you’re getting enough beauty rest to support beautiful locks!
Leave-In Conditioner
Leave-in conditioner is an intensive deep conditioning treatment that does not need to be rinsed away after application. Used ideally right before blow drying or styling hair, leave-in conditioner can help protect against heat damage while locking in moisture for smooth and soft locks, particularly those suffering from brittle locks, improving both its look and feel.
IGK’s Leave-In Conditioner is an intensive hydrating treatment suitable for wet or dry hair, offering soft and luxurious-looking locks overnight while you sleep. Simply apply this lightweight, fragranced conditioner after shampooing to towel-dried strands after you finish washing, towel dry them again, tuck into a turban, wrap or headband and sleep with it to maximize hydration – giving you gorgeous locks in the morning! A leave-in conditioner may also be beneficial on second or third day hair to detangle and replenish mane – perfect for all hair types but especially those dealing with dry, tangled or damaged locks!
No Wet Hair
There are a few key points you need to keep in mind in order to protect your mane while sleeping. First and foremost, avoid sleeping with wet hair as moisture weakens its protective cuticle layer – leaving individual strands more susceptible to environmental or internal sources of damage.
Wet hair creates the ideal environment for fungal infections such as dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis to thrive, leading to inflammation of your scalp that could eventually result in hair thinning or even bald spots.
If you must sleep with wet locks, try wearing your locks in a loose low bun or ponytail that won’t pull and tug all night long. A silk or satin pillowcase may help reduce friction between your hair and bed linen and help retain any hydration products used before going to sleep – just remember to wash it at least once every week so as to prevent bacteria and fungi colonies from forming in it!
Sleeping with a Hair Wrap or Scarf
At home, many of the same techniques that protect against heat damage and frizz can also help promote hair health while you sleep. For instance, sleeping with a silk or satin hair wrap can reduce friction caused by cotton pillowcases that tangle your mane and rub against your scalp while you slumber.
Wrapping your hair helps avoid tugging and pulling that could cause breakage; thus ensuring smooth, sleek strands when you wake up!
Begin with applying an overnight hair mask and strategically tucking strands under a silk scarf or bonnet. For extra security, add long bobby pins for added protection – this step takes minimal time to complete and you will wake up with healthy and moisturized mane thanks to this beauty sleep hack!https://www.youtube.com/embed/QsynaMuQhZg
