Wrapping your hair at night is very important. Not only does it maintain whatever fabulous style you may have at the time, but it also protects your natural hair from drying and breakage. When asleep your head rubs against your pillows and sheets . This friction causes your strands to weaken and snap. Furthermore, if your pillowcases and sheet are made up of cotton materials, the cotton will absorb the oils from your hair, causing it to dry out. Even more frightening, the oils and products that were once in your hair have absorbed into on your pillowcases and end up on your face causing breakouts.
To avoid all this is a simple solution: wrap your hair! Not in any old scarf or du rag either. Most of those things are made from nylon, what you want is a silk scarf or bonnet. I prefer a bonnet because I can slip it on and don't have to worry about wrapping or tying anything. These can be bought from any beauty supply store for as low as $2.00. Simplicity at its best!
