While hair extensions are the ultimate accessory for adding length and thickness to your hair, the extra weight from the wefts can feel uncomfortable\u2014more so during bedtime when there\u2019s an even greater risk of damaging the brand-new strands.<\/p>\n

Cheveux Reb\u00e9<\/u><\/a>\u00a0understands how daunting that can seem.<\/p>\n

So, we\u2019re coming through for you with 5 incredible tips on how to take care of your hair extensions as you sleep.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Don\u2019t Sleep with Wet Hair <\/strong><\/h2>\n

When hair is wet, it is more fragile because the protein forms weak hydrogen bonds while elasticity hits an all-time low. It renders hair susceptible to pulling and stretching which can deform the cuticle and make it look damaged or like it was roughly handled.<\/p>\n

Additionally, since bacteria and fungi thrive in moist environments, going to bed with damp or wet hair can also put you at risk of developing scalp irritation or infections.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why you must dry your hair completely before sleeping. It\u2019s recommended that you air dry your hair. But, if you like taking showers at night, blow-dry your hair first to speed things up.<\/p>\n

2. Brush Your Hair Before Bed <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hair extensions get tangled just like your real hair. If left unchecked, they can become tightly woven together, leading to matting which is difficult to fix. That\u2019s why you should brush your hair before going to bed. Go from the tips and work your way up, removing tangles as you go.<\/p>\n

Use a wide-toothed comb with soft boar bristles for this purpose. It will help remove knots and tangles from your hair without pulling out the keratin bonds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Use an Overnight Conditioner <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hair extensions do not produce natural oils so they\u2019re more susceptible to dryness than your natural hair. So, make it a point to use a sulfate-free overnight conditioner once a week to maintain the health of your strands and keep them looking lustrous.<\/p>\n

4. Put Your Hair in a Braid Before Hitting the Hay<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This old trick is still relevant in the beauty world for the simple reason that it works!!<\/p>\n

By tying your hair in a loose braid before sleeping, you can keep your extensions secure and in place, reduce friction, and prevent tangles and knots which can reduce the risk of breakage. As a bonus, you\u2019ll also wake up with the most effortless heatless curls so you can spend less time getting ready for work in the morning!<\/p>\n

5. Make Silk Your BFF <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Silk is soft and has a smooth surface. It can thus reduce friction to keep split ends, tangles, knotting, and the dreaded bedhead at bay. It also has non-absorbent properties so it won\u2019t collect unwanted residues or strip your hair of its natural oils.<\/p>\n

This means it won\u2019t draw moisture away from your hair and make it prone to damage AND you get to apply the good stuff on your hair.<\/p>\n

Moreover, it is naturally hypoallergenic and non-irritating, making it a wonderful option for anyone with sensitive skin, allergies, or skin conditions like eczema.<\/p>\n
