Since sleeping is a huge part of our day, it is crucial to know, ‘Is it OK to sleep with a hair system?’ We have all the information you need.

Can you sleep with a hair system?

Getting a good night's sleep can sometimes feel like an elusive dream, especially when wearing a hair system.

If you are wondering, ‘Can I wear a hair system during sleep?’ The straight, simple, and short answer is ‘Yes.’ You can sleep with a hair system without damaging it.

Can I remove my hair system before sleeping?

Yes, you can, especially if it is a clip-in hair system or a hair system that can be used with daily adhesives.

While it is best to remove the non-surgical hair system before sleeping to avoid damage and prolong the longevity of the hairpiece, it is not a feasible option for many, as installing, removing, and reattaching it every day can be a hassle and might not suit certain fragile hair bases.

Wearing the hair system at night while sleeping makes you feel like it is your natural hair. We suggest getting used to sleeping with a hair system. There may be times when you are not sleeping in the comfort of your home and get in a situation where you cannot remove it at night.

Having said so, when you wear human hair systems or non-surgical hair replacement systems, it’s crucial to ensure they remain in excellent condition while you snooze. Some do’s, don’ts, and precautions to be kept in mind while sleeping with a hair system so that your unit remains healthy for a long time:

Here are some fun and interesting tips on how to sleep comfortably while protecting your hair system.

The Ultimate Guide to Protecting Your Hair System While You Sleep

1. Choose Your Sleeping Position Wisely

When it comes to hair systems for men, your sleeping position can play a vital role in maintaining their integrity. The way your head rubs against the pillow surface causes friction and can directly impact the matting and tangling of the hairpiece.

It is best advised to sleep on your back or stomach and limit movements during sleeping, possibly sleeping in one position all night. If you are a back sleeper, keep your head slightly elevated to avoid unnecessary pressure on your hair system.

2. Secure Your Hair System

Before hitting the hay, make sure your hair system is properly secured. While this can be the most obvious thing as a hair system wearer, many users tend to ignore it.

Ensure your hairpiece is adequately attached so it doesn’t shift or come off during sleep. If it’s even a tiny bit loose, you can expect your hairpiece to lift off or move around as you sleep during the night. Always check if the bonding glue or tape is in good condition and if everything feels snug.

According to Superhairpieces stylist Stephanie, there are two quick ways to fix this. The first is to wear a durag or a tight bonnet and wrap it around your hair system so that it remains secure and in place throughout the night. The second is to use a blow dryer on a hot setting to help liquefy some of the glue on your system. You can then use a cold setting on it before patting your hair system down on your scalp. It should be much more secure now.

Of course, if you experience daily looseness in your hair system, this is a sign that you’re due for maintenance.

3. Sleep With a Protective Covering

Expanding on what our stylist recommends, we suggest wearing a soft mesh net, a silk or satin hair cap, or a lightweight headband or silk scarf made from breathable materials to minimize hair friction damage while sleeping with a hair system.

These prevent friction and keep the hair in place while also being a protective layer, improving the health and longevity of your men’s hair system.

4. Invest in a Silk or Satin Pillowcase

nother way to keep your hair system long-lasting while you’re sleeping with it is to change your pillowcase material. It may seem like mundane advice, but trust us, it matters greatly to the look and feel of your men’s hairpiece.

Many men’s hair system users still use cotton, polyester, or synthetic pillowcases, which are bad for their hair. They create friction when moving their heads at night, resulting in tangling and more hair shedding. As we’ve discussed in many blogs, hair shedding is the main culprit for hair systems going bad over time, so you would want to avoid shedding as much as possible.

Instead, opt for a non-static silk or satin pillowcase. This material feels better when you’re sleeping thanks to its soft texture and prevents shedding and hair fall, as there is less friction when your hair makes contact with it.

A good smooth silk pillowcase doesn't absorb moisture from your hair as cotton does. It protects both the hairpiece and your natural hair.

As a general rule, clean your pillowcases and change them at least once a week.

5. Consider A Non-Motion Pillow

Speaking of pillows, you can also consider a non-motion pillow or one specifically designed to keep your head in one spot. A supportive pillow can actually improve sleep quality and hair system maintenance.

These pillows are particularly great for those who are known for tossing and turning during the night, which can lead to hair shedding. Sleeping on such a pillow keeps your head in one spot and direction. A bonus is that it will also keep your unit more secure.

6. Get A Well-Fitted Hair System

Sometimes, having a strong adhesive holding your system in place is not enough. You need to also ensure that your hair system fits appropriately. If the hair system is too big or small for your balding area, it could be an additional problem while sleeping. Getting the correct size toupee according to your balding area is crucial to prevent any damage caused by movement during sleep. Consider investing in a custom hair system created specifically for your measurements, ensuring an optimal fit every time.

7. Don’t Sleep With Wet Hair

Allow your hair enough time to dry properly before sleeping. It's crucial to avoid going to bed with wet hair. Wet hair is more susceptible to tangling and matting and can also suffer damage, leading to increased hair shedding on your hairpiece. Make sure to let your hair dry thoroughly before you hit the pillow. If necessary, you can use a blow dryer in a low-heat setting to dry your hairpiece instantly.

8. Brush Your Hairpiece Every Night

A proper nighttime routine can help you relax and protect your hair system. Make it a habit to gently brush your hair system with a wide-tooth comb before bed. This will prevent knots and tangles and keep it looking neat. Moreover, using a little serum goes a long way for human hair systems, adding shine and keeping the fibers soft.

Follow these tips to navigate the sometimes-tricky world of sleeping with a hair system, all while ensuring your look stays flawless. Don’t let nighttime struggles keep you from enjoying your hair system!
