How you do your hair when you go to sleep?

[purpleRain]

How do you do your hair at nighttime? Especially when you have (half)long hair!

I am wondering what's better for the hair

I'm not sure what you mean by (half) long hair, but I have long hair, roughly about an inch below bra hook length, and I sleep by pushing my hair up towards the crown of the hair so my neck is bare on the pillow. Not sure why I sleep this way, I just do.

As for better for hair, I read one should use a silk pillow case, as friction between and a normal pillow case is rougher and causes damage to the hair. The silk pillow case theory supposedly works for the face as well. Its to cause lesser friction when the silk case rubs against the skin than a normal cotton case as its more rough.

I put mine in a loose ponytail and use satin pillowcases. I had satin sheets (they felt so good) but they kept falling off the bed.

I have medium length hair and I normally wash my hair right before I go to bed. I either just sleep with it while its still in a towel, or I either use a head cap. If I don't wash my hair I tend to just leave it down.

I have long hair that's down to the middle of my back and I just sleep with it down I dont do anything special to it.

i pin the ends up with a duck bill clip and put on a satin bonnet.

Yeah I already use satin pillowcases for years, I can't live without those things!!

A loose ponytail, a loose bun or a loose braid. It causes less damage than if you don't do your hair at all as you will roll around and it will tangle, so you have to use more power when combing your hair, which leads to your hair breaking off.

I put my hair in a loose ponytail as well.

I like the idea of using a satin bonnet to cut down on further friction.

MonnieJ - where did you get yours? Thanks

I leave it down, i don't wear anything to go to bed, it gives me the impression that if i wear a pony tail my hair will end up getting more damaged, so i don't do it any way.

I found I had more breakage even if I had my hair in a loose ponytail at night. So now I just sleep with it loose.

I have really long hair that trails halfway down my back, so in order for me to sleep without being strangled by it all I typically use a scrunchy and put it in a loose ponytail/loop thingy and then I take two mini clippys and clip the hanging ponytail to almost the very top of my head.

I use a scrunchie and put it up on a loose ponytail. Wish I had satin pillow cases though.

Putting your hair up in a ponytail with a hair tie will cause damage. The hair tie can cause breakage and the hair can get tangled around the hair tie. I definitely leave my hair down.

 

[Johnnie]

I just pin it up

 

[KatJ]

The scrunchie idea is good, but the best is probably the bonnet.

 

[CellyCell]

Depends...

If I ever have those caps - in the morning I'd wake up with it on the floor. I move around too much to keep anything intact.

Anyways, If I washed my hair or it's cold - my hair is down. Most times it's in a loose bun/tie.

silk pillow cases and/ or silk bonnet
