....:::We Don't Go To Sleep Pretty:::..

   Men always question how a woman can go to sleep and wake up the same way she did before. There is no magic to it the only way a woman can manage her hairstyle is a sleeping cap. There is no woman I know who doesn't tie her hair up at night. Even women I don't know do it. ( Pay attention to some of the females that walk around on campus). But there questions why wrap your hair up? What is its purpose? It serves a good one if I must say so myself.

Women sleep in caps because they preserve the hair style and also to protect their hair from breakage and drying out while sleeping. Sleeping caps are not something that was created in the 21st Century, it's something that's been around for a lot longer than that. Most people think that only African Americans do it but people of all races do. African Americans just do it more because their hair type is more prone to drying out and breaking.

There are all types of sleep caps but the ones made from silk or satin are the best, as cotton will actually absorb the oils out of the hair, helping dry out the hair. The best combination, however, is a satin pillow case with a satin sleep cap. So that if the sleep cap comes off at night, the pillow case, at least,  is not cotton. However, if this is brand new news to you (which you would have to been living under a rock for it to be), I suggest you start wearing a sleep cap now if you are going to, after all, the sooner, the better. But if you have  already tried it and noticed that they have not stayed on, or they end up somewhere other than your head by in the morning, you should  know that like all things it takes time to learn. It's not going to happen overnight!

Sleep caps range from different sorts to prices. Most people might purchase a wrap but that is not the same as a sleep cap.  Wraps don't seem to stay "wrapped" for very long. The knots stay  fine, but with all the movement in the bed they just don't seem to stay put. I agree that they are  fine for naps, but they do/will not  last overnight. Be sure to get a cap that fits breathability is important when looking for sleep caps.
If you don't want to go  out and buy a sleep cap there are always other things that you can resort to. For instance, one of the least expensive options is that you can use pantyhose. They are breathable and stretch remarkably well over the head while still providing a snug fit. Cut the legs off the hose and just use the "panty" part of it for the sleep cap. Because pantyhose come in all different sizes, you have a wide variety to choose from. Want more on this visit the website below.
