: Hi PhilipZ,
: Nice length!
: I have a question for you with your very long hair and the others of course. How do you wear your hair for sleeping? What's the best way to prevent damages?
: I tried many things: loose, ponytail and braid. Since few days I put them in a bun at the top of my head, not in the rear so the bun don't touch the pillow and hair are preserved from friction and tangling. That's what I think, but I can be wrong.
Thank you, Jesus Forain!
Sorry for my late reply! I definitely think that braids and buns are more protective than sleeping with loose hair.
Until i reached hip length, my favourite way was to do a side braid. Optional: put it between two layers of t-shirts.
However at some point the braid was so long that I was damaging the ends whith my hips. I thought about what I could do and I found a solution that works for me. I do a center part and a normal braid in the back, a little loose for more comfort. Then I need to wear a shirt with a turtle neck or a neck gaiter scarf or a tube scarf. Those scarves are for cycling. I wrap the braid around the neck and tuck it into the scarf. I pull it in the front so I have more space around the neck in the front. It may take some time to get used to it. But this way the hair is protected between the shoulders and the head. I can roll and it's all good :D
Sometimes I go to bed as I am, no matter what the hairstyle is.
I hope this helps!
Best,
Phil
