How to sleep and take care of your extensions


Here are some tips on how to sleep with hair extensions:

  • Don't go to bed with wet hair. Hair is most susceptible to damage when it is wet. If you can, let your hair air dry completely before going to bed. If you must blow dry your hair, use a cool or low heat setting and be sure to use a heat protectant spray.

  • Use a silk pillowcase. Silk is less likely to cause friction and tangles than cotton pillowcases. You can also buy a silk sleeping cap to protect your hair from the pillowcase.

  • Put your hair up in a loose ponytail or braid. This will help to keep your hair from getting tangled and damaged while you sleep. Avoid using tight hair ties or elastics, as these can cause breakage.

  • Use a silk scrunchie to secure your hair. Silk scrunchies are gentle on hair and won't cause breakage.

  • Avoid sleeping on your stomach. Sleeping on your stomach puts a lot of tension on your hair, which can lead to breakage. If you're a stomach sleeper, try using a silk pillowcase or sleeping cap to protect your hair.

  • Get regular trims. Regular trims will help to remove any split ends and keep your hair healthy.
