Everyone wants to sleep comfortably at night and for this, people wear comfortable clothes like night suits at night and similarly, sleeping with open hair or with braided/tied hair also makes us feel quite relaxed. But both have their advantages and disadvantages. The right method depends on your hair length, texture and scalp condition. So let us know in detail.
Sleeping with hair open – advantages and disadvantages
advantages
- The scalp gets air access, which reduces sweating and moisture.
- There is no strain on the head, which can reduce headache or hair fall.
- Comfortable for those with very thin or weak hair.
Loss
- Hair gets entangled due to changing sides at night.
- Problem of breakage and split ends due to excessive rubbing.
- Long hair can come on the face or neck and disturb sleep.
sleeping with hair braided or loosely tied
advantages
- Hair gets less tangled and easier to untangle in the morning.
