How Braids Care for Your Hair While You Sleep

The braid itself is a strong hair practice, but the ribbon wrapped around it while they slept was like double armor for hair, making sure it was fully protected once it hit that pillow. I would always be in such awe of their strong, thick, long hair. And how much time and like they put into taking care of it. But the best part was sharing this ritual with my aunties - slowing down each night and taking care of every other created a special bond. Braiding your hair is a necessary and healthy practice.

Prevents breakage

As you’re getting your beauty sleep, you may not recognize it but natural tossing and turning pulls your hair and causes it to break. Keeping your hair in braids reduces friction between your hair and pillow, reducing hair breakage. Amp it up, and get silk pillowcases for still less friction! It also keeps your hair tamed and more structured, resulting in fewer snarls and frustrating tangles when you wake up in the morning.

Lock-in moisture

Did you know that hair can lose moisture while you sleep? So many things are happening while you're sleeping! There’s always a natural release of moisture from your hair, and while you sleep it goes into the air or gets engrossed by your pillow. But braids can help prevent that loss. The overlapping structure of braids can hold onto the moisture and can keep it where it requirements to be, in your strands. Taking it one step more, massaging nourishing hair oil into your strands before you braid and hit the pillow can give it an even more powerful, moisturizing punch.

Now, I realize that not all hair types can produce beach waves after a night of braids, but it can add texture and little oomph.  If your goal is to rock some fun waves in your hair, waking up and taking out your braids can be the less-damaging option.
