Here's Why You Should Wear A Sleeping Cap To Bed

According to Grazia, a sleeping cap helps prevent tangled tresses, which can cause breakage. When the hair is tucked safely into the cap, it decreases the likelihood of waking with tangled, knotted hair, making your morning routine smoother. Another perk of donning a sleeping cap — less frizz and split ends. It protects your hair from friction as you sleep, which minimizes frizz and breakage, decreasing the risk for split ends.

Cotton pillowcases often absorb the oils and natural moisture from your hair, but a silk or satin hair cap can help your hair retain moisture. Dry hair is the culprit of many damaged locks and keeping the hair hydrated can reduce the risk of frizz, itchy scalp, and even hair loss (via Moms).

As an added bonus, wearing a sleeping cap can let you sleep longer. Because silk bonnets can keep your hair intact all night, you'll need less time in the morning to get ready (via Hair Extensions Magazine).
