Is it better to sleep with hair up or down?

People online will tell you ten different things about hair growth and sleeping styles. Honestly, just do what is comfortable; unless you have severe hair fall, it doesn't make a massive difference. If your hair is falling out in clumps, go see a dermatologist instead of changing hair ties.

My grandmother always told us to tie a loose plait at night with a little coconut oil on the tips. When I asked my dermatologist, she agreed that tying it loosely prevents friction against the pillow. Trusting both traditional advice and clinical proof has kept my hair healthy.

I used to sleep with my hair completely open, but the frizz and breakouts on my forehead were so annoying. Now I make a loose bun right on top of my head using a satin scrunchie. It really helps keep the hair out of my face and reduces breakage.

With my PCOS, hair thinning has been a big concern, so I try to be very gentle. I tie my hair in a very loose silk wrap to prevent any pulling on the roots. It works for me to reduce daily fall, but do check with your doctor about hormonal balance too.
